I also direct about two senior theses each year. My algal course takes a field trip each year to the University\u2019s marine lab (the Darling Marine Center at Damariscotta) where we do plankton tows and macroalgal studies. Our laboratory exercises include the culture of algae, fluorescence microscopy, and molecular barcoding exercises.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I directed a NSF Graduate Student to K-12 (GK-12) program at the University of Maine, which placed science and technology graduate students in collaborations with teachers and K-12 students throughout the Penobscot River Educational Partnership\u2019s districts. This project won the 2006 New England Board of Higher Education\u2019s Regional Award for Project Excellence. I am committed to improving the public\u2019s general understanding of science.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/brawleylab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/443\/2015\/06\/plankton-net-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of researchers in front of plankton net\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">SMS 373 &#8211; Marine and Freshwater Algae<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive introduction to the algae (freshwater and marine), including their evolution, physiology, life histories, and ecology.

Laboratory work will emphasize the study of living material and include special projects and field trips.
