Club Meeting, 06/19/09 Special Guest Speaker

Sara Mavinkurve

Who is Sara Mavinkurve?

Sara M As a proud crew member of WWM, reef keeping has always been more than a "hobby" to me. It's truly been a love like none other. It has driven me to learn as much as I possibly can about these reticent animals in their perilous worlds. The courses I took in biology and chemistry, biochemistry, etc. along with my past experiences in biological research is what has enabled me to be able to read and understand biological research and study design. It's been my ongoing hope to use this ability to make more academic information accessible to the reef keeping hobby. I've created ASIRA.org primarily to provide free, printable care guides for corals (along with other information) to local aquarium stores.
