Dr. Virginia Weis: Panic! At The Coral Reef

We live in a microbial world. From our own gut to the corals in the ocean, microbes are key players in the existence of so many organisms. Did you know that corals are not just single organisms, but exist in symbiosis with millions of single celled algae? This symbiosis is currently threatened by global warming and climate change, resulting in a process you may be familiar with, called coral bleaching. This week, we spoke with Dr. Viriginia Weis about her timely and fascinating research on the topic of symbiosis between corals and algae. INSITE Vision: Inspire an inclusive and diverse interdisciplinary community of scientists for the conservation of biological diversity and public education in a changing world. INSITE Mission: Create novel tools to better conserve biological diversity under threat of climate change through cutting-edge research, scientific training, and public education.
