 2006 : Girls in Ocean Science
January 24 - Ocean Institute Presents Girls in Ocean Science Teen Conference
The Ocean Institute will present its first annual Girls in Ocean Science Teen Conference. This one-day conference will allow girls to explore careers in engineering, the veterinary and health fields, ocean conservation, marine biology and education. Ten prominent female ocean scientists from around the country will interact with the girls in the laboratories and aboard the R/V Sea Explorer. Scientists include a marine mammal veterinarian from Sea World, an engineer from CalTech who designs underwater robots based on squid shapes and a biochemist who will show girls how to make lipstick from algae! "The conference will be a great opportunity for young women interested in pursuing a career in the sciences. They'll get first-hand experience and advice from positive female role models who are experts in their fields," commented Sara Earhart, Girls in Ocean Science Conference Coordinator.
