Episode 12: Can corals stomach a changing sea? with Kelsey Barnhill

The plight of coral reefs is well known and urgent. Feeling the pressures of a changing climate, reefs around the world have become an ecosystem in crisis, and as global temperatures continue to increase, a question on everybody’s lips is - will coral reefs be able to adapt to what’s to come. We sit down with Kelsey Archer Barhill, a PhD student at University of Edinburgh, to discuss her paper on just this, titled: ​​Acclimatization Drives Differences in Reef-Building Coral Calcification Rates. On this episode, we’ll be chatting about Kelsey’s journey moving from tropical to deep sea corals, and what it was like getting those manuscripts published with the help of an incredible majority-female team.
