This virtual event will explore elements of biology, oceanography, and microscopy. We will use microscopy to highlight and share the beauty and diversity of the micro-algae and micro-animals that call our world ocean home. From the San Francisco Bay directly to the microscope, the process of collecting to imaging will be highlighted and explained.
