Everthing Matters | Calcium | Jessica Kendall-Bar | Exploratorium
Calcium is vital for many biochemical processes, from intracellular communication to bone and shell formation. Join marine biologist Jessica Kendall-Bar to learn how minute plankton shells play a critical role in pumping carbon from the atmosphere to ocean depths.
Jessica Kendall-Bar studied Marine Science and Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. A scientist and artist, she is passionate about communicating scientific discoveries through illustration and animation. While at Berkeley, Jessica participated in a series of oceanographic expeditions with chief scientist Dr. Jim Bishop, studying the patterns of biologically driven carbon sequestration in the ocean.
