The WHOI Biology Department is hiring! careers-whoi.icims.com/jobs/1929/tenu… A couple research areas are highlighted, but it's a broad search. Review starts Jan 31, but we will continue accepting apps.

All around the world, people are talking about the fantastic work happening at Cape Cod’s Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). We want to keep the momentum going and put MA on the cutting edge of climate innovation and coastal resiliency. That’s why we’re investing in our blue economy with our budget.

I like the way this one kind of looks like a phylogenetic tree :-)

Madrepora coral with squat lobster and a pair of isopods I’m sure they are an important part of the ecosystem, but I find the isopods are a little creepy Schmidt Ocean #DiagnosingDeepCoral #CoralPulse
