“The Extreme Life of the Sea and what it tells us about the future of the oceans”, a talk by Steve Palumbi, Prof. of Biological Studies at Stanford University and Director of the Hopkins Marine Station. 

“Using genomics as a tool in conservation of ocean wildlife”,  science talk by Steve Palumbi, Prof. of Biological Studies at Stanford University and Director of the Hopkins Marine Station.  Many of the ocean’s most fascinating species are under threats ranging from over fishing and habitat destruction to global climate change. How can knowledge of the DNA of these species help in their protection? Written into the genomes of any species are records about what species it is, where it lived, what it is adapted to, and what future conditions it might be able to survive.
