The Redfielders, proud softball team of the WHOI Biology Department, came into being through the efforts of Louie Wurch (second row, second from left). With a motto of, "To us, you're plankton," the team was named for WHOI's Redfield building, which was itself named after a renowned biologist who discoveredthe Redfield ration: the near-universal 106:16:1 ratio of the elements carbon to nitrogen to phosphorous found in plankton.
