Science in Two Languages

October 3, 2017

MIT-WHOI Joint Program student Mara Freilich demonstrates how salinity affects ocean stratification and mixing at a recent symposium at WHOI. The event, “OCEANOS: WHOI en Español e Português,” brought together Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking researchers from throughout Woods Hole to present their work in either language. Local participants included students and researchers from WHOI, Woods Hole Research Center, the U.S. Geological Survey, and NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center, as well as members of the public. The event also engaged viewers in Connecticut, Florida, Puerto Rico, South America, and Europe via Facebook Live. (Photo by Véronique LaCapra, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
