EcoWatch: Featuring Emily Turla

We kick off our free lecture series featuring FAU Marine Lab Coordinator Emily Turla. Emily is a PhD candidate at Florida Atlantic University and the Laboratory Coordinator for FAU Marine Lab, where she is in charge of day-to-day tasks and assisting with various research projects. These projects include studies on the husbandry, sex ratios and nest temperatures, satellite tracking, behavior, and physiology of sea turtles. For her PhD, Emily studies how leatherback nests and eggs are affected by factors such as infertility, temperature, and moisture to better understand when eggs are failing and why.

Reservations are required for this free program; please call (561)544-8605.
