Long before they slither into your nightmares, baby snakes perform a curious feat: early in the egg, they begin to coil, forming a tight spiral that is almost always clockwise. Researcher
UBC and Hornby Island partner to train next generation of coastal scientists - UBC News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now in its second year, Seaweed School is teaching young students the importance of these “gateway” algae. Dr. Bridgette Clarkston presents to Hornby Island students. Photo credit: Ocea Hill. Burying underwear in soil isn’t a typical science lesson. But for students on Hornby Island, it’s one way they can learn how seaweed supports local ecosystems. The activity and others like it are part of Seaweed School, a unique partnership between UBC and Hornby Island that’s training the next generation o
