- Outreach:
- Scientific advisor/partner with the Ocean Discovery Institute of San Diego 2007-2018 (ODI is a 2012 winner of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring from the Obama administration). I developed a hands-on molecular biology exercise that is now delivered by ODI staff to over 500 fifth-grade students in underserved San Diego schools each year. Based on the concept of DNA “barcodes” students learn that every species has unique DNA sequences and that these sequences allow identification of odd-looking larval forms of a species or any tissues from that species – including fillets at a fish market!
