BJA (Britt) van Herpen, MSc

I am a junior researcher at the Marine Animal Ecology group at Wageningen University, where I organize and assist in research as well as education.

As a research assistent I manage research conducted at the aquaculture facitlity Carus at Wageningen University. My main expertise is research regarding corals and sea urchins, but I also assist in other MAE projects at Carus. These projects include students projects (BSc- and MSc students), ongoing PhD research projects and external project collaborations. I am the main contact person for research regarding Caribbean long spined sea-urchins (Diadema antillarum) at Carus.

For more questions regarding MAE research at Carus, mail us at MAE-carus@wur.nl.

As a education assistent I coordinate one of the MAE BSc courses: Introduction to Marine Science (MAE10806). Additionally, I assist practicals, groupwork and tutorials that are organized during certain other MAE-courses.
