Her primary research at Vassar focuses on symbiosis in corals, which is a scientific way of saying she studies the interactions between organisms living closely together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the first of our four presentations for the Community Coral Project, and it is wonderful! I personally learned so much during the talk and had a million questions (as you\u2019ll see by watching haha!).
