Students receive Friends of Long Marine Lab research awards
By Tim Stephens
The Friends of Long Marine Lab Student Research Awards will support 14 student research
projects in the current academic year. The projects cover a broad range of topics,
from the movements of great white sharks to the reproductive ecology of mussels.
A total of $9,400 was awarded to two undergraduates and 12 graduate students. The
Friends of LML Awards come from the interest generated by six different endowments:
The Jane McHenry Student Awards Fund, the Lillian McPherson Rouse Student Award Fund,
the William Baye Heald Scholarship Fund, the Friends of LML Student Support Fund,
the Mark T. MacMillan Memorial Prize Fund, and the Ken Norris Marine Mammal Research
Award.
An awards ceremony and reception will be held at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center
on Friday, January 19, at 4 P.M.
Individual awards are listed below:
