Listen "Episode #40: Danielle Becker-Polinski talks about coral reefs, innovative research (epigentics!), and the multifacetedness of marine biology"
Episode Synopsis
Danielle Becker-Polinski is currently a Ph.D. student in Dr. Hollie M. Putnam's Eco-Physiology and Environmental Epigenetics of Marine Invertebrates Lab at the University of Rhode Island. Danielle is broadly interested in the ecophysiology within coral reef ecosystems and how global climate change and genomic processes influence coral population dynamics for generations to come.
Her fascination and curiosity with the underwater world, especially coral reef ecosystems, developed into an innate passion for research-based science. To preserve these invaluable ecosystems, She believes we must bridge the gap between education, conservation, and research to convey the significance of coral reef ecosystems to the public.
Danielle's passion for coral reefs is entwined with her interest in conservation and environmental justice initiatives that understand the importance of supporting STEM education and furthering policy agendas for the future of oceanic ecosystems.
Enjoy!
