Please encourage her to apply to UGA’s ILS program! ils.uga.edu (general admission, then students do rotations to find a PI - we are hiring 50+ faculty here so there will be many new PIs on campus with startup $$). Happy to be a point of contact for Qs - lots of marine sci here!
ILS home page, Office of Research, University of Georgia
Integrated Life Sciences (ILS) allows first-year graduate students to explore the research areas of nearly 250 faculty and 14 participating PhD.
