Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ biologist Kate Mansfield and her Florida team published a first-of-its-kind study this week about sea turtle\u2019s \u201clost years.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201clost years\u201d refers to the time after turtles hatch and head to sea where they remain for many years before returning to near-shore waters as large juveniles. The time period is often referred to as the \u201clost years\u201d because not much has been known about where the young turtles go and how they interact with their oceanic environment — until now.<\/p>\n
The work is getting a lot of attention from NPR to Glamour Magazine<\/a>. Why? Because of the important nature of the work and the creative way the team used an acrylic fill used for manicures to solve a problem.<\/p>\n Listen in as Ira Flatow, host of NPR\u2019s Science Friday<\/a>, talks to Mansfield about her research from Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½\u2019s broadcast station WÂé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ FM. \u00a0Or check out some of the other coverage in National Geographic<\/a> , BBC<\/a> and the Smithsonian Magazine <\/a>among others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½ biologist Kate Mansfield and her Florida team published a first-of-its-kind study this week about sea turtle\u2019s \u201clost years.\u201d The \u201clost years\u201d refers to the time after turtles hatch and head to sea where they remain for many years before returning to near-shore waters as large juveniles.
