[Coral-List] grad opportunity to study marine disease

[Greta Smith Aeby]

Coral-list,

   Below is an announcement of a new graduate program at the University of Hawaii which focuses on understanding diseases.  
This program has a marine ecosystem component and so provides an incredible opportunity for graduate students interested in 
studying marine disease.  Please pass this information onto any interested students.  Graduate students interested in working 
on coral disease can contact me as a potential mentor.

Aloha,

Greta S. Aeby, Ph.D.
