Three Seas Program info session

Northeastern University's Three Seas Program is a one year marine biology program that takes a fully integrated approach to class, lab and field learning at marine laboratories in 3 diverse marine systems (Nahant, MA; Bocas del Toro, Panama; Friday Harbor, WA). It offers broad exposure to the many different fields within marine science as well as training in research skills (e.g. scientific diving) and scientific communication.

Sal Genovese, the director of Three Seas (and Jon's former PhD student) will be in Walter Hall from 4-6pm on Wednesday, 27 April to speak about the program and answer questions from interested students. As part of the 26th Three Seas class (09-10), I highly recommend the program to anyone who is keen on getting a hands-on, field-based education in marine science. If you're interested in learning more about the program and/or like the idea of learning about something in class and then jumping right into the water to see it in action, this program is for you (and you should come by and/or talk to me about it)

Also: check out the Three Seas blog to see what the current batch of students have to say about their experiences.

Marine Biology/EEB open house on Friday

Hey guys,

The Brown Marine Biology DUG is hosting an open house for potential concentrators and anyone interested in marine science at Brown. Come talk to current concentrators, graduate students and professors and eat free Meeting Street cookies in the Walter Hall conference room (where ecology discussion sections are held) from 1-3pm on Friday, April 8. Hope to see you there!

Whales and forams and everything in between.

Ecology field trip

Everyone should have heard from your TAs about this, but the field trip has been postponed to Thursday morning. We will meet at the same time and place - 7.45 am at the corner of Brown and Olive Streets.

Bring pencils and notebooks and come dressed appropriately - it can be windy on the shore and in the forest, there will be some navigating through brambles and up slopes (see below for some pictures on what it can be like).
