Middle school students from Children’s Day School learnt about how sea anemones are helping in coral research. Sophie Clowez, a Carnegie scientist studies the impact of environmental stress on zooxanthellae, photosynthetic symbiotic flagellation algae that inhabit corals and sea anemones and greatly affect bleaching in coral!

Roberto Bogomolni showed the middle schoolers how bacteria form symbiotic relations with legume roots and facilitate nitrogen fixation.
