During his visit, Governor Inslee interviewed Kenneth Sebens, Professor of Biology in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Department of Biology and Professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ College of the Environment, and Giovana Ramos, a senior at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ studying Biology (Physiology), about a new study abroad program in Rome.

We have learned a lot about invertebrates and the ecology of what’s going on in the Mediterranean regarding climate change.
