Pacific Seabird Group Conference

This past weekend, my mentor, Professor Karnovsky, took 11 Pomona students (including me!) to the Pacific Seabird Group Conference in Long Beach, California, where we got to meet and listen to tons of seabird biologists! We also got to go to the Aquarium at the Pacific, and some of our group gave poster presentations. The conference was held at The Westin, where we also stayed


Our group: from left to right: Augie, Kristen, Zach, Professor K, Amy, Nell, Charlotte, Derek B., Elizabeth, Julia, and me! (we're missing Derek Y.... where are you?)
