We were smooth sailing up to this summer’s cruise. But, there is an accelerating uptick in the number of COVID cases in the state of Louisiana. Right now all crew are required to have a COVID test. Too many vaccinated people are testing positive for COVID. We’ll see if the participant list changes.
Our science crew participants this summer are:
Dr. Jennifer Brum, Assistant Professor LSU
Gina Woods, LUMCON Research Assistant and Lab Manager for the Pelican
Jill Tupitza, LSU Graduate Student with Dr. Glaspie
Sophie Jorgensen, LSU Graduate Student with Dr. Brum
Robert Lowery, LSU
Graduate Student Rachel Steffen, University of Georgia graduate student (Dr. Mandy Joye, in absentia)
Technical Assistance
