“We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Cole to our education center,” said Tracy Skrabal, the federation’s regional manager and coastal scientist. “As both a scientist and parent, I admire her ability to present complex scientific principles in plain language and even make it fun. This event will be a blast.”
