UChicago Graduate Students Take Boot Camp for Biologists
By Diana Kenney Long gone are the days when biologists drew images of their specimens and left complex math to the physicists. Today, biology is a data-intensive science that requires not only attention to nature, but a solid quantitative toolkit with which to query living systems. That’s one reason why first-year graduate students in the
A Day in the Life of an Undergraduate Researcher in Woods Hole
By Isa Alvarez Hi everybody! As summer winds to a close, it is nice to take some time to reflect on what this summer at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) has brought us – a new vision, relaxation time, or other experiences. I can say that this summer brought me many opportunities, from working in
UChicago Lab Schools Students Explore Woods Hole Science
During the summer of 2015, high-schoolers from the UChicago Laboratory Schools spent a week at the MBL exploring marine research. They’re back! More info on the Laboratory Schools is here. The University of Chicago Laboratory School is in full swing at the MBL this week! @uchicago 📷 by @avalanchevocals #scientistsinthemaking A photo posted by Marine

That crab has rhythm: Exploring controls on digestion in Neural Systems & Behavior
By Raleigh McElvery When it comes to explaining crab digestion, three-letter acronyms abound. Luckily, Neural Systems and Behavior course instructor David Schulz of the University of Missouri comes to Woods Hole to translate. Schulz aims to decipher not only the lexicon of crustacean feeding, but also how gene expression affects the neural network processes responsible.
