Space for Biological Oceanography Students at EAPS

For students whose advisors are in Woods Hole, the lack of quality work space at MIT has long been a source of irritation. Now, thanks to the efforts of JCBO member Dianne Newmann, and to the generosity of the department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, that should no longer be a problem.

EAPS has agreed to provide desk space for JP Biology students who don't have an advisor at MIT. Here are the ground rules:

• Students who are in residence at MIT will be offered a desk, but the offer is conditional upon them actually using it and will be withdrawn if the desk isn't used on a regular basis.
  
  
• Students who are commuting from WHOI will be offered a desk or group of desks to share on days when they are up here for classes. That probably means that they can have a locking drawer to store things, but they will share the keys with one or more other commuter students.

• This offer applies for now and should be reconsidered as Shuhei Ono's and Tanja Bosak's groups grow.

Students should express their interest (and true need) for desks to Alla Skorokhod, who will consult with the E25 faculty to figure out the best plan.

Thanks again to Shuhei Ono, Tanja Bosak, Roger Summons, Ed Boyle, and Maria Zuber for helping.
