Congrats to 2025 HC graduate Nathan Pethick! Nathan earned an H.B.S in biology with a minor in chemistry and completed his thesis, “Testing the response of mid-intertidal prey communities after mass mortality of the keystone predator Pisaster ochraceus,” under the mentorship of Dr. Bruce Menge, OSU Distinguished Professor of integrative biology in the College of Science. After graduation, Nathan will be taking a gap year or two to work in a research lab before applying to Marine Ecology PhD programs.
