For Annie Schlanger, a senior in Environmental Studies, her capstone project has been an eye-opening dive into the world of citizen science and Dungeness crab conservation. As part of the Pacific Northwest Crab Research Group (PCRG), Annie and other student volunteers have been collecting valuable data to help improve our understanding of the early life stages of Dungeness crabs—an iconic species in the Salish Sea, vital to both the ecosystem and local fisheries. 

The Office of Global Affairs is excited to celebrate Yen-Chu Weng for our November 2024 edition of the Global Visionaries series. The Global Visionaries series highlights the UW’s global impact by featuring innovative, globally-engaged faculty, staff, students and alumni.
