PhD candidate,Katey Lesneski, of the Kaufman lab recently returned from the Ewha-Luce International Seminar (ELIS) in South Korea where she presented her research on techniques she is using for long-term studies to identify colonies suitable for reef restoration.
“The seminar was a great way to meet other leading women in STEM, whether they were graduate students, professors, or industry leaders. It was also a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchange between myself, other students from the US, and students from East Asia, learning everything from traditional Korean culture and visiting palaces, to trying new very spicy foods, and hiking a UNESCO world heritage site and even touring the DMZ!” – Katey Lesneski
The program is supported by Ewha Womans University and the Henry Luce Foundation as part of their efforts to cultivate the next generation of global female leaders in science.
