This March Tide Bite examines the strong connection between science and art which is richly explored at Friday Harbor Laboratories. Fernanda Oyarzún describes deeply exploring this connection via the FHL Embryology Course, which has encouraged students to do so since Professor Arthur Whiteley began teaching it in 1950.
