US Antarctic Research Ship Withdrawal: Scientists Fear Loss of Influence, Diminished Science
Alison Murray and her team were preparing to conduct research in Antarctica. Their research focused on sea squirts, a type of invertebrate found on the seafloor, to further investigate a promising molecule. The molecule, produced by a microbe living within the sea squirts, holds potential in combating skin cancer. This upcoming expedition was intended to build on previous findings and advance understanding of this exciting area of study.
