The last SES field module sampling streams and groundwater to calculate sources and loads of N to the estuaries! Add in two field trips to the local Wastewater Treatment Facility and Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center!

Ever wondered how animals regenerate or wanted to unlock the secrets of camouflage? 🦑🐟🌎🔬 Eleven undergraduate students did that, and more, in the inaugural Semester in Biological Discovery (SBD) at the Marine Biological Laboratory Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) mbl.edu/news/diving-de…

MBL Undergrads Great to have a new site for sharing SES activities and stories!

Broadening out to all undergraduate programs at MBL and looking forward to future SES news and activities here!

Welcome Semester in Environmental Science class of 2024 to the Marine Biological Laboratory Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), MBL Undergrads! Already out exploring our local natural ecosystems and learning about the geology around Cape Cod!

Making some Winogradsky Columns and exploring Little Sippewissett estuary as part of the Methods in Microbial Ecology class on a beautiful day! Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Semester in Environmental Science (SES)

Semester in Environmental Science students on the Gemma returning to Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)!

Did you know that Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has a tunnel? Used to transfer radio isotopes from Rowe to Lillie to avoid crossing the public street in the old days...or so I am told. MBL Undergrads using it for their 14C samples!

Congrats SES marathon team MBL Undergrads Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

Lots of life-changing opportunities, for everyone interested!

Make the MBL part of your college experience and apply for the Semester in Environmental Science (SES). The 15-week program provides intensive field and lab-based learning opportunities. Early decision deadline of November 15! mbl.edu/ses

The SES MBL Undergrads Winogradsky columns about 10 weeks after their construction. Profiles of hydrogen sulfide and methane. Two columns are from a freshwater source, The others are from Little Sippewissett estuary. Plus some column pics Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

Thank you Coastal Ocean Vision Dr Scott Gallager for helping us and MBL Undergrads Semester in Env. Science using Raman Spectroscopy to analyze macro plastics collected in fresh and costal ecosystems around Cape Cod Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) !!

Nice day for a short field trip to sample Siders Pond in Falmouth, MA. MBL Undergrads Hoang Luu measuring bacterial productivity using radioisotopes under anaerobic conditions with help from SES TA Mary Ossar. It's in the bag! Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

MBL Undergrads Cameron Johnson sampling the surface soil following a recent wildfire in Lynn Woods Reservation to study the impact of fire on microbial communities and soil composition as part of his research project in Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) SES program. Some sites still smoldering!🔥🌲🦠

Some reflections of the Gemma this week Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)

Scientists and staff gathered for "Research Day" to recognize new employees and showcase MBL's groundbreaking research. "What brought me to the MBL was a job, but what brought me back was the top-notch scientific and broader community," said Elizabeth Elmstrom.

Semester in Biological Discovery students opted to take elective course "Art: On images" with artist Serena Aurora Day Himmelfarb, who inspired them to create pieces that resonate with the MBL's environment of curiosity and discovery. 🎨 Learn more! bit.ly/3F9hGa4
