Madison Pacaro

I’m from Townsend, Massachusetts and a senior at BU this year, majoring in Biology and minoring in Marine Science. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved the ocean and spend almost every summer vacationing on Nantucket or Cape Cod with my family. I joined the Buston lab in the fall of 2017 and am currently conducting research on nocturnal parental care and hatching behaviors in clownfish. I have participated in two semesters and a summer of UROP funded research and will soon be working on incorporating my research into my honors thesis. After graduating, I hope to continue my education and fulfill my passion for science and marine life through a Biology Masters or PhD program.
