Two Sound School seniors document their supervised agricultural experience culturing Nemeopsis laidei ctenophores in the school's fish lab, with the goal of studying bioluminescent organisms for potential medical applications in PTSD brain research. The project involved extensive research into the animals' environmental needs, troubleshooting system failures with help from lab staff and outside scientists, and ultimately achieving success by keeping specimens alive for ten weeks. The students discuss how this hands-on marine biology experience has shaped their interest in pursuing careers working with saltwater organisms.
