Christine Theodore, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Chemistry, University of Tampa
"Nature’s Hidden Pharmacy.” Humans have looked to nature as a source of healing medicines since before written history. While most people are aware of the use of traditional medicines, many are surprised to learn that substances derived from nature continue to play a major role in the modern drug discovery process.
Speaker #3 Kerry Flaherty Walia, Restoration Ecologist, Tampa Bay Estuary Program
Where “Teenage” Fish Hang Out: An Understudied Habitat Linking Estuaries to Offshore Reefs
Hard-bottom habitats in Tampa Bay host distinctive fish communities and serve as crucial “teenage” transition zones for many reef species. Yet these areas have been historically difficult to study due to limited funding and challenging sampling conditions. In this talk, I’ll explore what makes these habitats so important and share how new partnerships are combining survey efforts to improve reef protection, restoration, and fisheries management.
