The race to protect corals from stony coral tissue loss disease
- "Amy Apprill was a midwestern citizen before the call of the ocean found her. Now a resident expert in microbial ecology in WHOI’s Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry Department, she’s studying a growing epidemic affecting coral reefs across the world, known as stony coral tissue loss disease. With an eye for detail, Apprill’s forensic approach analyzes coral sickness down to differences in DNA." - Excerpt from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Watch the video about Apprill's work.
