Sequeira Lab PhD students presented at the Annual Marine Studies Award

Charlotte Birkmanis and Lucy Arrowsmith presented their PhD research to a public audience in under 5 minutes at the Fremantle Flying Angel Club. The whole experience was excellent, with all presentations meeting the goal of being accessible to a broad audience while also highlighting the importance of marine life research. At the end of the evening, Lucy was awarded second place for her engaging talk on how a whale shark follows cold water fronts across the eastern Indian Ocean.

The Annual Marine Studies Award was created by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) to recognise students who demonstrate excellence in marine-related research and training.
