summer/sabbatical volunteer

[Sandy Zetlan]

Colleagues-
I am a biology professor with a doctorate in the neurosciences who has developed a later life interest in marine field work. I am looking for volunteer research opportunity this summer, possibly to lead into a sabbatical year,  that would further my understanding of coral reef ecology and help me develop a research program.  Last summer I
participated on a research team evaluating coral bleaching in Fiji. While my knowledge base is limited, this summer I will be taking a course in coral pathology, coral histopathology, and fish identification. I will be earning my divemaster cert sometime this summer, and am currently at a rescue diver level. If you need volunteer help on your
project or at your station this summer that would entail diving, and where I could learn survey or other research methodology while assisting you, please contact me. I have been awarded a summer grant that I need to use ASAP for this purpose.

Thanks-

I have a size estimate for the Acropora genome but can't find any specific numbers for the symbionts. Any information or pointers to relevant references on this issue would be much appreciated.
