Sharon's Experience as a PhD student in Environmental Science at the University of Southern Maine
Sharon Mann, a PhD student in Environmental Science, speaks highly of the University of Southern Maine professors who provide resources for her lake ecology project, even after she's taken their classes. These lasting partnerships have granted her access to essential tools, including lab space and mentorship opportunities, which is the whole point behind Maine-eDNA, an initiative spanning the entire state and involving multiple institutions, aimed at positioning Maine as a prominent figure in the areas of environmental monitoring, comprehension of ecology, and preservation of coastal ecosystems.
