At its heart, science is about trying to understand the world we live in. In the Vick-Majors lab, we care about sharing our experiences and passion for science by picking up puzzle pieces from the environment, trying to understand the stories they tell, and then relaying the stories to colleagues and the public.
Our work has been covered by various news outlets. Here are a few:
- The ParAqua Podcast interviewed Dr. Vick-Majors on her work studying the polar regions.
- An Associated Press story on changing winters was picked up by 400+ news outlets.
