NSCI 286 Topics: Introduction to Field Tropical Marine Biology - 2018

This was a class provided to faculty and staff at Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University Medical Center, exploring the tropical marine ecosystem and many of the organisms that live there. As part of the course, we took two field trips to local aquariums; the Stephen Birch Aquarium and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Below are some of the faculty and staff who took the course during the two field trips.
