On Wednesday, May 22 at 7:30 p.m., join WHOI’s Julie Huber, marine microbiologist & senior scientist; WHOI’s Heidi Sosik, plankton ecologist & senior scientist; and WHOI’s Nina Yang, biological oceanographer & postdoctoral investigator, for a virtual event titled: “Small but Mighty: Microscopic Marine Life and its Outsized Role in the Ocean.” Microbes and plankton may be small, but they have a big part to play in shaping our planet. The ocean’s smallest inhabitants form the base of marine food webs, help regulate global climate, and may hold the secrets to the origins of life on Earth. Join us as we explore “invisible” ocean life and its profound and far-reaching impacts. The event’s host will be WHOI’s Véronique LaCapra, director of special projects for Advancement. Register now.
