Don't let their size fool you. Phytoplankton may be microscopic, but they play a large role in our ecosystem, economy, and food supply. Join Dr. Nicole Millette, assistant professor at VIMS, as she discusses how phytoplankton, or microscopic plants, and other environmental conditions impact the number of striped bass in the upper Chesapeake Bay each year.


Designed for an adult audience, After Hours lectures are held in person on the Gloucester Point campus and as a live-streamed webinar. Lectures are free, but registration is required. Register now! 

 We are excited to offer this lecture in-person in McHugh Auditorium on VIMS' Gloucester Point Campus! Face masks are optional for all individuals in indoor spaces on the VIMS campus. This lecture will also be available as a live-streamed webinar. Registration is required for both in-person and webinar attendees. Webinar links will be sent in all registration confirmation emails. At this time, we are expecting a hybrid event, but registrants will be notified in advance if the event moves to a virtual only format.

An inherent risk of exposure to harmful pathogens like COVID-19 exists where people gather for events such as this one.
