Lindsey Metz is a recent master’s student from the third cohort of the Interdisciplinary Marine and Estuarine Sciences Program at San Francisco State’s Estuary and Ocean Sciences Center. During her graduate education, she completed a master’s thesis study investigating the effect of temperature and pH on the bacteria community associated with a toxin producing diatom species, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries. Her research interests mainly center around the smallest members of the marine community, bacteria, and how they interact with eukaryotic organisms to influence coastal ecology. She is excited at the prospect of applying her research background to issues related to resource policy and management.
