Allison Fortner, a doctoral student in the Lamm Lab, just completed an eight-week international internship in Paris and on France’s Brittany Coast, where she worked as a science communicator with the Safe Seaweed Coalition, a global partnership established in 2021 to support a safe and sustainable seaweed industry. The internship fulfilled the requirements of Fortner’s International Agriculture Certificate in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES).
Her work was highlighted by the university as a top news story in UGA TODAY. It was then picked up on the national news wire and a story about her work was shared by the Morning Ag Clips – America’s #1 Daily Ag News Source.
