ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Science Scholar McClaran Shirley ’22 studies the effect of ocean acidification on marine gastropods, or sea snails.

Biology major McClaran Shirley ’22 was named a 2021-22 ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Science Scholar and received a scholarship from the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris foundation to continue marine biology research. In this video, she describes her work with Assistant Professor of Biology Amber Stubler on a project entitled β€œGastropods Utilizing the Cosman Shell Collection,” a study of ocean acidification on marine gastropods, or sea snails, that she began last year using ΒιΆΉΚΣơ’s Cosman Shell Collection, remarkable not only for its size and international scope but for its detailed documentation.
