Cara Schweitzer, Ph.D.
EPP/MSI participation
-
Cooperative Science Center: NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) (2014)
Education
- Ph.D. Marine Estuarine Environmental Science from University of Maryland Eastern Shore, supported by LMRCSC.
- M.S. Biology from Washington University.
- B.S. Biology from University of Missouri St. Louis.
Without of the funding of EPP/MSI I would not have been able to pursue a career in marine science. The EPP/MSI Education and Science Forums granted opportunities to meet with NOAA professionals and to seek advice which, I believe, had a direct impact on my [NOAA] application success.
