Cammen Lab PhD student, Alice Hotopp, recently published an essay on her personal experience with ecological grief in Spire, The Maine Journal of Conservation and Sustainability. Earlier this semester, she led our lab group in a discussion of this topic, and its relevance to our research on protected and endangered species. Check out her beautiful words and thoughtful perspectives here: https://umaine.edu/spire/2023/04/21/hotopp/
Cammen Lab PhD student, Christina McCosker, was featured in this month’s UMaine ARCSIM newsletter. ARCSIM is the Advanced Research Computing, Security & Information Management CORE service at the University of Maine. This service center helps connect our lab group with the powerful computing resources and staff expertise that we need to conduct our genomic data analysis. To learn more about this, check out the article on Christina’s research: https://umaine.edu/arcsim/2023/04/24/leveraging-data-to-understand-gray-seal-health/
Dr. Kristina Cammen presented a talk as part of the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions seminar series on September 26. The talk, entitled “Out of Our Depth: Interdisciplinary science for marine mammal conservation,” told two stories: one story followed the seals from a history of exploitation to present day protection and recovery; the second story told Kristina’s professional path. With an emphasis on integrating diverse fields of science and ways of knowing, Kristina shared her personal journey towards interdisciplinary science for marine mammal conservation and the promising impact she sees for this type of work in the field.
A summary of Kristina’s talk can be reviewed in this article by Maine Campus Media. You can also watch the recorded talk here.
