On June 25, I gave an exit seminar and defended my dissertation to complete my PhD at NC State (title slide pictured above). It has been a terrific 5.5 years here, and I am excited for the next step. I will be joining NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, CA as an NRC Postdoctoral Associate. Working with Dr. Jeff Seminoff and the Marine Turtle Ecology & Assessment Program, I will contribute to several projects, many featuring stable isotope tools.
