2022 - Dr. Dayna BaumeisterCo-founder and Keystone of Biomimicry 3.8, Dr. Dayna Baumeister’s fascination with the natural world began with daily forays into the woods and mountains of Colorado, her childhood home. As an adult, nature has continued to inform her personal and professional endeavors. Dayna received a BS in marine biology from New College in Sarasota, Florida. After several years exploring the intricate relationships of coral reefs, she turned in her wetsuit and headed back to the

FisherChemistryThe Impact of Nitrogen Concentration on the Fatty Acid Production of Marine Microorganisms Faculty Mentor: Angie Boysen, Chemistry This project revolved around investigating the impact that nitrogen concentration stress has on the growth and metabolite production of marine microorganisms. More specifically, the scope of work focused on the production of fatty acids, which play an important role in cellular energy storage and maintenance.

systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role in driving this pattern and the effects of fisheries and disease on sea urchins and kelp forest ecology. My current research projects include studies of the community ecology of rocky shores of Puget Sound, disease ecology of sea urchins, and larval

nature. These values include sacred spaces in nature, the community connection with the environment, scripture examples in the bible, and the impact national parks can have on Christian individuals. These values can then be applied to the geology of the Grand Canyon national park through analyzing the park’s important geological factors and the current impacts of the park due to human usage. Using the nature values from Christianity can then develop a mindset for all people despite religious
