IAN welcomes Claire Sbardella

Claire Sbardella is the new science communication intern at the IAN Annapolis office. She hails from South Carolina and has recently graduated from Washington and Lee University (WLU) with a BA in English and Geology. She has worked on two major research projects at WLU under the guidance of paleontologist and Assistant Professor Dr. Jill Leonard-Pingel and has completed both a capstone and a thesis in her respective majors. Her hobbies include running, playing video games, and visiting state parks. Following this internship (although perhaps not immediately) she plans on going to graduate school for an MS in environmental science.
