Paige Bippus
Undergraduate Student
Paige is a junior undergraduate at the College of Charleston. She is helping Dr. Sotka and Stacy research the invasive history of Gracilaria vermiculophylla. She will be performing experiments to test the response of Gracilaria from different areas of the world to salinity changes and herbivory.
Hobbies: Playing guitar, hiking, reading, and anything outside
Favorite animal: Elephant
Advice for future scientists:
Middle school: "Work hard and ask lots of questions! Look around the world and see what interests you, then find out more about it!"
High school: "Learn more about what interests you and volunteer somewhere where you can get hands-on experience, because that's where you learn the most! But most importantly do what makes you happy because people like others who want to learn."
