Marine ecologist Eleonora Puccinelli studies the origin and the routing of the much-appreciated omega-3 fatty acids. “It’s not only humans that value these important fatty acids in their diets. They are important to sea birds and to other consumers of fish as well. Therefore, it is also important to understand how they are formed and how phenomena such as climate change or human pollution of the environment affect the production of these omega-3 fatty acids.”
