We wanted to share two different recent posts that featured the UGA Marine Institute. First, Eamon Hennessy (a PhD student at Univ. of Houston) and Romi Drubetskoy (an undergraduate intern from Georgetown Univ.) to write up a “Day in the Life: Behind the Scenes on Sapelo Island”, detailing their research with the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems LTER, ranging from building a prototype for a precipitation manipulation experiment to cooling out on the beach at the end of a busy day. Second, the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) highlighted UGAMI on their Instagram account.
