 Thank you to all the friends that were able to make it out to our movie night on November 12th. We had a blast watching Finding Dory!! We hope to have more movie nights winter quarter given that we are permitted to meet, fingers crossed! Stay tuned on our social media pages for when the next one will be and where you could poll in which movie you would want to see🙂
 Thank you all for attending the Spilling the Tea Event!!
If you missed it, we had a panel of major alumni that was able to join us and answer some of the most common questions regarding the marine and coastal science major at Davis. We are currently working on uploading the media recording of this event and hope to have it up on the website soon for you all!
The tea on today's meeting: It was such a delight to share stories and advice on the Marine and Coastal Science Major! Special thanks to Darien for sharing the Ask A Grad Student Blog. It's a fin-tastic resource for those curious about grad school! T- Shirts are in the works! Expect an email about how to get one in the next couple of weeks. We're aiming to have them ordered and ready to deliver starting week 10 or right after finals. *crossing fingers* Check the slides for more info on marine science classes and how to cold email. The officers have taken a lot of the marine science classes and would be happy to tell you more about them. Feel free to ask us through the email: [email protected]. Thanks to those who were able to attend! We loved chatting and sharing our nuggets of wisdom! Remember we're open to any other questions you have so reach out if you need help! Best of luck on your second round of midterms, papers, and projects!!

Big thanks to those who were able to make it to our last meeting! It was such a delight to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones! What better way to start off the quarter than with some lovely company!
Some important announcements: 🐙 The officer application has been reopened! The last day to apply is April 29th at 11:59 pm! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about the positions. Do remember that we intend to have incoming officers shadow us so that you're not going into 2021-2022 completely on your own! 🐙 T-shirts! The officers have put together a t-shirt design* and we're wondering if y'all would be interested in getting t-shirts for the club. If this speaks to your inner fish, then please fill out the interest form linked above. *Design drawing credit goes to Jacquie. Idea credit goes to Michael and Jacquie. Take care and good luck on midterms, -Jacquie Social Media and Communications Coordinator
Our speakers this week were Victoria Morgan and Marlynn Rollins; two spectacular graduate students pursing PhD's in marine science! Your individual journeys provided very valuable nuance. Thanks again for taking time out of your day to share your experiences! We'd also like to thank everyone who was able to make it to this event.
We hope to continue having more events like this in the future. Have suggestions or feedback? We'd be happy to hear how we can improve events like this! Feel free to let us know your thoughts through email. - Jacquie Social Media and Communications Coordinator
Hi ocean - lubbers! We were stoked to see you! It was also great to meet some new people joining our club for the first time. It's never too late to join in on the fun!
Friendly reminder that if you have further questions about the BML application, feel free to reach out to us! Most of the officers have taken classes or conducted research at BML and would be happy to talk about those experiences if it will help you out! For those who were not able the make it, the slides are linked above. We also have a Gather.Town creation called The Magical Library that you're welcome to pop into anytime* to study in (also linked above). For the virtual and udderly magical library, you’ll need Chrome or Firefox to enter it. Safari does not work. If you run into any issues, click here. The map used to make this was originally designed by Dr. Mapzo, you can find more of their creations here. We hope this meeting was helpful for those who were able to come! As always stay safe and we hope to sea you next time! -Jacquie Social Media and Communications Coordinator *There is a 25 person limit but with a club as cute as ours, that shouldn't be a problem in our current time.
Food Web Talks (affectionately referred to as food web) is a new lunch time series the club is starting this quarter. Our goal is to connect undergrads with grad students and researchers pursing various paths within and closely related to the marine sciences.
Our first event went well. We'd like to thank everyone who was able to come! Special thanks to our fin-tastic guests, Dr. Scott Stanley Gabara and Veronica Padilla Vriesman! We had a ball with y'all and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
