The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) in Charleston continues its summer lecture series with a talk on “Research on Motion in the Ocean” on Wednesday, July 5, at 4 p.m., in the Boathouse Auditorium. All OIMB lectures are free and open to the public, but this talk is particularly aimed at general audiences.

The speakers are Jessie Masterman and Nicole Nakata, Ph.D. Candidates, University of Oregon, OIMB. Jessie is interested in studying marine trophic ecology through a chemistry lens, with a particular focus on gelatinous organisms. Nicole hopes to examine how flexibility in developmental mode affects the evolution and performance of marine invertebrate juveniles.

The OIMB Boathouse Auditorium is located at the end of Boat Basin Rd. in Charleston. Park at OIMB or along Boat Basin Rd. and walk past the Coast Guard housing to the auditorium.
