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.
