We are a marine biology laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography with two goals:

• UNDERSTAND how marine organisms interact with their environment
• DISSEMINATE our knowledge to the scientific and public communities

Our specific areas of study include bioluminescence and fluorescence, plankton biology, and ecotoxicology.
