The History of Diving Museum’s “Immerse Yourself” lecture series will welcome Florida Atlantic University’s Chelsea Bennice for a discussion on octopus biology and behavior. The presentation is set for Wednesday, March 20 at 7 p.m. at the museum, located at MM 82.9, bayside, Islamorada. 

Bennice is a marine biologist and science communicator whose research interests include animal behavior and ecology — with an expertise in octopus biology. She is a research fellow at Florida Atlantic University’s Marine Lab and serves as a lead scientific diver and board member for the Scientific Diving and Boating Safety Committee. She is an advocate for bridging scientists and the community.
