Come join us for Ocean Genome Legacy’s Marine and Environmental Sciences (MES) Undergraduate Research Symposium, scheduled for Friday, June 14!
This semi-annual event is a highlight of our academic calendar and serves as a premier platform for our talented undergraduate students to present their groundbreaking research and innovative projects.
The symposium will feature 8 undergraduate scientists—including Ocean Genome Legacy’s Mia Bender—who will present their research across numerous disciplines, showcasing the breadth and depth of the research interests of our community.
Mia’s presentation will focus on her critical work at OGL, which investigates methods for long-term DNA preservation. She has tested the effectiveness of various preservatives on DNA and tissue quality from lobsters, sea nettles, clam worms, blood worms, and blue mussels. Tune in on June 14 to find out which preservatives worked the best!
