In 2007, the VMSC Management Committee initiated a student prize to be awarded at the AMSA annual conference, for the best oral presentation with a focus on temperate marine science.
Congratulations to Alexandra Campbell - our winner in 2008.
Alexandra is from the University of New South Wales and her presentation was based on her Honours project completed in 2002 at UNSW, titled The effects of herbivorous amphipods on macroalgae.
In 2006 Alexandra commenced a PhD at UNSW, under the supervision of Professor Peter Steinberg, titled Climate change and emerging disease: bleaching and bacterial infection of a macroalga.
AMSA2008 was held in Christchurch as a joint conference with the New Zealand Marine Science Society.
Congratulations Alexandra!!
