By employing feeding treatments for the inner tidal organisms, Ali was able to gather &#x201C;lots of exciting data&#x201D; that can help &#x201C;understanding how the future can affect an entire species.&#x201D;<\/span><br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-114 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2016\/10\/hermit-crab.jpeg\" alt=\"hermit-crab\" width=\"196\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2016\/10\/hermit-crab.jpeg 474w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2016\/10\/hermit-crab-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/undergraduate-excellence\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2016\/10\/hermit-crab-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/>Post-SURF, Ali is continuing her experiments, gathering more data with hopes to create publishable work and present her findings at a conference this fall.
