Julie Voelschow
Julie Voelschow is a Biologist at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Julie began her adventure with USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in the Fall of 2019. She was brought on as a student contractor, working in the Coral Microbial Ecology Laboratory, and has since advanced to a biologist. She has participated in a variety of studies from the investigation of pathogenic scuticociliates to assisting with lab and fieldwork researching coral microbiomes from various coral reef ecosystems.

Evaluation of in vitro treatments against the causative agent of Diadema antillarum scuticociliatosis (DaSc)
ABSTRACT: In the 1980s, a mass die-off of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum occurred on Florida and Caribbean coral reefs. D. antillarum populations largely did not recover, and in 2022, remaining populations experienced another mass mortality event. A ciliate most similar to Philaster apodigitiformis was identified as the causative agent of the 2022 event, which was named D...
