Undergraduate science majors from liberal arts colleges got a taste of the breadth of oceanographic research during midwinter break. In a pilot program organized by the WHOI Academic Programs Office, the undergraduates attended classes in oceanographic topics taught by MIT/WHOI Joint Program graduate students and worked on short research projects in scientists' labs. Above, graduate students Maya Yamato (far left) and Kim Popendorf (at back) oversee the students Christopher Elliot, Akemi Berry, and Stephen Hesterberg (left to right) dissecting a fish.
