Weekly covers Halfman’s planned expedition to Antarctica

In an article in The Weekly, Maggie Halfman—fourth-year marine science student at the University of Maine—was profiled for her upcoming trip to Antarctica. Halfman will be traveling to a research station in October, and will conduct an independent project there for two months. Halfman is conducting research at the Darling Marine Center this summer in preparation for her trip.

The trip is led by UMaine Professor Rhian Waller, who specializes in the reproduction and development of cold-water and deep-sea invertebrates around the globe. Her research explores how these animals are affected by both natural and anthropogenic environmental change. The Maine Edge also published an article on Halfman.
