Patrick Martone
Seaweed Sorter
Who says technology can’t help you find love? Dr. Patrick Martone is a professor and phycologist in the Botany Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Through the Martone Lab he inspires students about the wonders of seaweed, exploring the biomechanics, evolution, and ecophysiology of marine macroalgae.
He also developed the ‘Seaweed Sorter’, a mobile app that helps users identify – and hopefully fall in love with – more than 100 seaweed species on their phone. Try it out for iPhone or Android. Find out more here.
