The occasion was bittersweet, said Kaeli. “There’s the excitement and relief of finishing the program, but you’re also parting ways with the amazing people who’ve contributed so much to your time in Boston and Woods Hole,” he said. “Sort of like graduating from high school or college, but amplified, and with way cooler hats!” (Photo by Jayne Doucette, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
