Nicole recently finished her graduate research at the Sotka Lab. She spent most of her research trying to answer the following questions:

1.  What is the invasive species history of Gracilaria vermiculophylla?
   
2. What is the relationship between Gracilaria vermiculophylla and Diopatra, a decorator polychaete (worm)?
