Phoebe Jekielek is Director of Research for Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership. Her current research focuses on farming scallops, and she's using eDNA as one of the tools to help analyze the aquaculture farm they have at Hurricane.
Phoebe is pursing her PhD at the University of Maine, working in the Leslie Lab and being co-advised by Heather Leslie of the Darling Marine Center and Nichole Price of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences. If you want to email Phoebe and get photos/videos of scallops, she can be reached at phoebe@hurricaneisland.net.
