Samuel Major

Sam has always been fascinated by those little things that govern our life. He pursued his B.S in microbiology from the University of New Hampshire and his M.S from the University of Maryland in marine-estuarine environmental sciences with a focus in environmental molecular biology and biotechnology. In his thesis, he described the microbial community and probiotic bacteria associated with blooms of microalgae grown to produce biofuels. If he’s not in the lab, you can find him floundering around in the waves at Good Harbor Beach or serenading the local sea-pigeons with his cacophonous guitar skills.
