Message in a Bottle
May 22, 2013 — The discovery last month of an ocean-research drift bottle that had been wandering the Pacific since 1966, reminds us of a time when tracking ocean currents - and the fish that swim in them - was pretty low tech, but the best at the time. Ocean observation technology at the Center has come a long way since the mystery bottle was released.
New study on Vibrio
May 17, 2013 — An image that captured an honorable mention in our recent photo contest also graces the cover of this month's special issue of the journal Environmental Microbiology. The journal also includes a study co-authored by Rohinee Paranjpye that demonstrates the first specific interactions between Vibrio (marine bacteria) and diatoms. Vibrio can contaminate seafood and cause deadly food-poisoning.
