At KBCF, we believe that environmental education, scientific discovery, and opportunities for young people to engage with experts are essential to building a more informed and environmentally responsible community.🌎
Students for Coral Preservation is launching a new monthly webinar series, proudly sponsored by Youth Lead Change, connecting students, scientists, educators, and environmental advocates with researchers working to protect our marine ecosystems.
🎤 The inaugural webinar features Dr. Christina Pasparakis, a marine toxicologist and Assistant Professor at UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory.
A graduate of the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School, Dr. Pasparakis studies how pollution and environmental stressors affect marine life. Her research into microplastic pollution earned her a 2024 UC Davis award supporting her work on the impacts of these tiny pollutants on marine ecosystems.
Join this fascinating conversation to discover how microplastics travel from land to sea, their effects on marine life, and what science can teach us about protecting our oceans.
