April Lamb is a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Zoology at North Carolina State University, with minors in Applied Ecology and Biotechnology. She is broadly interested in the structural ecology of marine communities in relation to a changing environment due to anthropogenic factors, and she intends to pursue a doctoral level graduate degree in ecology and evolutionary biology. She believes that exploring these changes is crucial if we are to understand the full extent to which humans are impacting the ocean's organisms.
