3/5/26 - High School Marine Science Symposium at Northeastern University

In March, Aleezah was invited to be a keynote speaker at Northeastern's annual High School Marine Science Symposium! Every year, the Symposium welcomes hundreds of high school students and their teachers to hear from expert speakers, explore marine science career pathways, and participate in hands-on science workshops led by scientists, policymakers, graduate students, and other professionals in the field. This year's Symposium hosted over 250 students! 

In Aleezah's talk, she spoke about her behavioral research on sea robins (our resident fish with legs) and what her journey to becoming a Research Assistant has looked like. At her table, Aleezah spoke with students about the lab's sea slugs and their trait-stealing abilities, and even brought live slugs! The students asked such thoughtful questions about our research, we can't wait to see how they shape the future of science.
