Interested in joining the Martone Lab?We are always on the lookout for bright, creative students who are inspired by seaweeds and want to understand how life "works." Applications from students with NSERC or NSF fellowships are especially welcome. To discuss possibilities of joining the lab, send Patrick an email. |
