Lab Updates: 
Oct 2025: With a new academic year underway, we have lots to celebrate! Congrats to Dr. Julia Sweet, whose paper on eastern oyster feeding on non-toxic Microcystis was recently published in Ecosphere. Julia also started a postdoc at the Savannah River National Lab, and we wish her all the best! Tessa Rock defended her Masters thesis in summer and is continuing to work in the lab to help crank through FlowCam samples (and of course keep the Stauffer Lab Instagram account active!). The lab welcomed new PhD student, Panchali Hazarika, who comes to Lafayette from India. Finally, Masters student Em Mulcahy is prepping for the NOAA-funded GOMECC-5 cruise (shutdown permitting). We've added a GOMECC page to this website to help share information about this cruise. Check it out!

May 2025: What is time? The past 8 months have flown, and there's so much to report! Stay tuned, keep an eye on lab members' Google Scholar updates, and get ready to help us welcome some new lab members this summer!
