Emily Ryznar will earn a doctorate from UCLA in spring 2021. For her dissertation, she is investigating mechanisms enhancing the invasion success of the alga, Sargassum horneri, and how it may be interacting with important native species such as giant kelp in California. As a fellow, Emily is excited to support the development of collaborative science initiatives in the Delta, aid peer review, science funding, and science communication efforts, and more.
