Fall 2014

Greetings everyone! 

It's the start of a new year in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Biological Oceanography.  Please welcome our two new students this year - Deepa Rao (working with Mick Follows at MIT) and Laura Weber (working with Amy Apprill at WHOI).

It's also the time when JPBO students are finishing up their dissertations to get on the MIT fall degree list.  I'm a little late with this item, but please join me and her committee (Neubert & Sosik co-advisors, Solow, Chisholm and Post) in congratulating Kristen Hunter-Cevera on her successful defense of her thesis work on August 19, 2014.  She also recently published one of her chapters in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.  Go to the link and see what great work she's done!   http://www.pnas.org/content/111/27/9852
