The Johnson Lab presented recent research and outreach/STEM educational efforts at the ASLO 2015 meeting in Granada, Spain. Alyse Larkin presented recent analyses of Prochlorococcus molecular diversity in the North Pacific Ocean with the title, “Prochlorococcus has seasonal-specific trends in alpha- and beta-diversity across latitudinal temperature gradients in the North Pacific” and ZIJ presented on the “In situ activity of Prochlorococcus ecotypes across temperature gradients in the Pacific Ocean.” Further, Alyse was part of a presentation on SciREN titled “Scientific Research and Education Network (SciREN): A Novel approach to connecting local STEM researchers and educators.” ZIJ served as a meeting mentor to Lidia Pereira and Karen Bondoc, two graduate students. This work was supported by NSF through the Prochlorococcus of Warming Ocean Waters project.
