Chanda Cragnotti

Chanda is a rising senior working towards a BA in Interdisciplinary Science from The New School. She spent the fall semester of 2023 at the Marine Biological Laboratory participating in their Environmental Science program for undergraduates. She completed a research project as part of the program on tardigrade community composition in maritime sunburst lichen, a common species found all over the MBL campus. She is also minoring in Journalism and Design at the New School, since not only is she interested in research but also how research is communicated to the public, especially when it pertains to an urban setting and implementing sustainable policy.
