About Us
We, the Aiptasia community, have a deep commitment to research, education, and outreach, not only to teach others about our projects and their relevance to coral conservation, but also to share the intrinsic fascination that the complex and beautiful coral reef ecosystem provides.
In an effort to accelerate discovery and understanding of coral symbiosis, we pledge to openly share our research protocols on Protocols.io, our teaching initiatives and activities, and work hard to establish Aiptasia as a practical and reliable model system.
