Phycological Society of America
Beginning as a student member in 2010, and continuing to the present as a full member, Stacy have served as a member of the Gerald W. Prescott Award Committee. The Prescott Award recognizes scholarly work in English in the form of a published book or monograph devoted to phycology. See a list of past winners here.
Since 2017, Stacy has been on the PSA Communications Committee, and serves as the associate editor of the PSA Newsletter.
Stacy was elected to the Journal of Phycology Editorial Board and was invited to serve as an Associate Editor in 2018.
Stacy has also served as a Lewin and Bold Award judge for PSA at the annual meeting in 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Other Science Communication

Stacy and her lab were profiled by the Society for the Study of Evolution New Faculty Profiles. Each month SSE highlights two new faculty members and asks them a series of questions about their new labs, experiences, etc.
|
|
In addition to starting a graduate #SciComm course at UAB, Stacy has organized and led other #SciComm training sessions. For Darwin Day 2018, she led two poster training sessions for undergraduates, MS students, and PhD students at UAB. Stacy has also led training sessions for other organizations on campus, such as the UAB chapter of ASM. |

Stacy was invited to write a piece for the Ecological Society of America's #MySciComm.
#MySciComm explores the personal and professional journeys of science communicators, including the joys, struggles, and helpful resources that surfaced along their way. #MySciComm also showcases the wide range of types of SciComm that people can do, from photography and illustration to serving as an institutional press officer, doing public engagement research, and so much more. SciComm is an emerging profession, and there are not only a lot of ways of doing SciComm, but a lot of ways of getting into it. Our #MySciComm series highlights some of the possibilities. |
Cultivate started amongst a group of scientists and artists as way to share our passion with others. Stacy led a Cultivate Workshop to get the public interested in seaweeds. She served as the scientist/artist for the evening on "Seduced by Seaweeds in the 21st Century" in which she traced the history of seaweed pressing from Victorian times until the present. Stacy also talked about how important seaweeds are, both ecologically and economically. Afterwards, she taught workshop participants how to press seaweeds.
|
Stacy was interviewed by filmmaker Sandya Viswanathan for her film about The Other 97%. The film is about the scientists that are trying to find and identify Earth’s unknown biodiversity. The problem centers on the 97% of unknown biodiversity. Seaweeds fall into this category! Stacy talked about her work on seaweed mating systems, and seaweed invasions. |

Stacy and Will made a video for Capturing our Coast #InvasivesWeek on the red seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla and the anemone Diadumene lineata.
