Priya Shukla, PhD
Ocean & Climate Scientist
Pronouns: She | Her | Hers
For my PhD research, I worked with the Hog Island, Tomales Bay & Bodega Bay Oyster Companies to develop strategies for improving oysters' ability to withstand temperature-driven disease outbreaks.
Public Scholarship and Activism are key components of my work - I strive to clearly communicate climate and ocean science, while amplifying marginalized voices and perspectives.
Shellfish Aquaculture in Changing Ocean
As a graduate student at UC Davis, I studied the effects of warming on temperature-related disease outbreaks in California oyster farms and whether oysters can be 'primed' to tolerate stressful environmental conditions.
Communicating About How Climate Change Affects The Ocean and Our Communities
I write and speak about ocean + climate science, civically engaged science & the need for justice, equity, diversity & inclusion.
