Short Takes: Algae webinar on non-freshwater systems

Mary Rosenthal and leading algae experts from the membership of the Alge Biomass Organization will lead for a webinar on the potential for the use of non-freshwater resources for algae. The webinar takes place on Thursday, May 9 from 2-3 pm eastern time. Dr. Stephen Mayfield, head of the San Diego Center for Algae Biotechnology will discuss recent ground breaking research on the ability of algae strains to be as prolific in salt water as they are in fresh water. Erik Venteris and Mark Wigmosta from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will present research on the availability of saltwater resources across the country.

Q&A with participants will be available.
