That’s me with a California Sea Cucumber, Parastichopus californicus!

Welcome!

My name is Sasha Seroy and I am a graduate student in oceanography at the University of Washington currently studying how predator-prey interactions in marine invertebrates are affected by environmental changes like warming and ocean acidification.  I got hooked on invertebrates while studying ecology and evolution at Stony Brook University where I got the opportunity to work with marine molluscs in a local salt marsh.  After graduating, I explored the world of freshwater invertebrates with my students as an environmental educator in the Catskill Mountains. Since then I have moved back into the world of marine invertebrates, this time learning about the biodiversity on the west coast of the US, as a graduate student.  I am involved in several environmental science outreach programs and enjoy teaching and communicating science in many forms.
