The Connell Lab is dedicated to helping further students goals and education in the sciences. Laurie Connell has also worked with high school teachers in Teachers Experiencing the Antarctic on several projects with the goal of assisting teachers by participating in current research and bringing their exciting experiences back into the classroom. Students have participated in a number of programs including UMaine's Upward Bound and K-12 Program that has provided opportunities to get involved in the Connell lab research. Prior students have completed projects related to Harmful Algal Blooms, yeast and fungi identification from Vailulu'u seamount, clam sodium channel mutations and others.

The Lab has also worked with the National Park Service's "Partners in the Park" program to provide a valuable outreach effort and provide opportunities to explain the value of marine ecosystems and on-going research efforts. Check out the links above to learn more about outreach efforts and the various projects and programs that we have been involved in. For more information, please visit the programs website or contact Laurie Connell for more information.
