Janice and Amber traveled to Waikoloa, Hawaii for the 2011 Marine Technology Society/IEEE Oceans Conference. The conference had over 1100 participants and covered a multitude of topics, including autonomous underwater vehicles, ocean sensing technology, and harvesting ocean energy.
Janice took part in the student poster competition, with her poster titled “Low-cost colorimeter development for the field-based detection of harmful algal blooms.” Amber gave an oral presentation on “Portable biosensor detection of the harmful dinoflagellate Alexandrium using surface plasmon resonance and peptide nucleic acid probes.”
Both had a great time at the conference and thoroughly enjoyed the sunny Hawaiian weather.

The conference was held at the Hilton-Waikoloa Village. No complaints about the décor!
One of many beautiful beach sunsets we saw.
Some of the resident Green Sea turtles agreed to pose for a quick photo with Amber and Janice.
