Popular Science reports on grad student, winning lobster photo
Popular Science published an article on Jesica Waller, a University of Maine master’s student in marine biology, and her winning photograph of a baby lobster. Over the summer, Waller raised thousands of lobsters in the lab to see how different climate change scenarios alter their development, according to the article. Her image of a live three-week-old specimen, titled “American Lobster Larva,” won the People’s Choice award for Photography in the 2016 Vizzies (National Science Foundation’s Visualization Challenge), the article states. Several other media outlets including the Associated Press, Portland Press Herald, WMTW (Channel 8 in Portland), WLBZ (Channel 2), The Free Press and Q97.9 also published reports on Waller and her winning photo. Boston.com and The Republic carried the AP report.
