Beyond Locust Research Club

Thank you so much to Dr. Anupama Shetty for presenting at our meeting last night!

Dr. Shetty is double board certified in Pediatrics and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine and has trained at Brown University and Yale. She practiced Neonatology for 15 years at the Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Kaiser in Santa Clara, California, during which time, she was the Assistant Inpatient Pediatric Chief for about 5 years. This was followed by two years of a senior fellowship in Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Medicine at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Now, she is working at the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. From January 2024, she will be working as the Medical Director of the Neonatal Cardiac Care program at Miller Children's Hospital, Los Angeles.

Dr. Shetty is deeply passionate about providing expert ICU care to children with heart disease and improving their outcomes using family-centered neurodevelopmental interventions.

Thanks so much to Christy Choo for sharing her summer research experience in the Marine Biology department at Columbia University, where she studied harmful algal blooms in the Long Island Sound.

The Long Island Sound has an extensive history of these blooms, which are dangerous to both humans and the surrounding environment. The composition, spatial extent, and intensity of these blooms vary considerably from year to year, stressing the importance of investigating the temporal and spatial distribution of these blooms, as well as their potential drivers to better understand and predict the interannual variability of these blooms.

Christy's results stress that climate change is real and can inflict harm on ecosystems in different ways.

Looking forward to the next meeting on 8/24--LAST meeting for the summer :)
