Meet the Scientist
Coastal Studies Institute is excited to offer a new monthly virtual community program that allows viewers to get to know some of the world-class coastal scientists at ECU and among our partner institutions. “Meet the Scientist” gives us the opportunity to introduce you to the people behind the science being done along our shores and across the world.
Each month an interview conducted by Dean Reide Corbett will be live-streamed to our Youtube Channel where it is also recorded for later viewing. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions via the live chatbox.
