Some good news
"What a week for good news it was, because yes, without question, we are all going through an incredibly trying time. But, through all the anxiety, all the confusion, all the isolation, and all the Tiger King, somehow the human spirit still found a way to break through and blow us all away."

Friends, in the midst of the ongoing pandemic, I have some good news to share. My Stellwagen shipwreck project is moving forward, and we're preparing for our outreach activities during the expedition this summer. We'll have some day-trips to collect data in June and July, and then in August, we'll gather on board the R/V Connecticut for a telepresence cruise. The good thing about this project is that all our telepresence broadcasts are done remotely anyway, so if the world is still closed when we're at sea in August, viewers can log in from home.
Our project website is now live! You can find more information about the upcoming expedition here. Classrooms and summer camps can participate in direct interactions via video chat with the scientists, and public venues can sign up to host a broadcast event. Interest forms are available on the project website.
The second bit of news is that I'll be featured alongside two of my collaborators, Calvin Mires and Hannah MacDonald, during a broadcast of the program Exploring By the Seat of Your Pants. This program connects students with field-based research, so it's a perfect complement to our shipwreck work. We'll introduce the National Marine Sanctuary system and the project, talk about the 2019 expedition, show video highlights, and discuss our preliminary findings. EBSYP broadcasts stream on YouTube, so tune in May 15 at 11 am.
Stay safe, friends!
