Together with the team of Prof. Marc Kochzius (VUB), PhD student Kushlani Dissanayake is going on an underwater expedition to study the migration patterns of corals in the waters around her native Sri Lanka. They collect DNA samples and other crucial data that unravel the distribution patterns of corals and their larvae. From her own situation as a mother, she draws motivation as a scientist to search for solutions to ensure the survival of endangered coral reefs.
