October 2021 Tide Bite

Greetings,

While most research at FHL for its 110+ years has focused on marine organisms and habitats — especially seaweeds, invertebrates and fishes — a generous donation in the last year has allowed us to “expand the tent.” We offered fellowships to “new” scientists who have never worked at FHL but who are faculty at UW or other institutions to come and work here for several weeks or months to see if this is a location where their research can be effectively accomplished.

Greetings,

While most courses that students take at FHL are more traditional science disciplines (biology, oceanography, etc.), one regular offering for undergraduates is the interdisciplinary Science Writing for Diverse Audiences. Graduation requirements for UW Marine Biology majors, as well as other campus science majors, include students taking at least one class in scientific writing, which is an integral part of training for many different career paths.

Greetings,
Scientists often cannot predict the directions their research will take – it is odd to think that such important decisions might somehow be out of our hands. But not infrequently an unexpected observation or opportunity will pull research into a new exciting direction – it is often the unanticipated results that are the coolest!

Greetings,
A lot of people hate little critters with a lot of legs – one of those primal fears that has some good evolutionary backing. I personally am not fond of terrestrial animals with 8 or more legs (shudder!), but am quite fond of marine crustaceans with their many legs – go figure.

Greetings,
Science often progresses like assembling a puzzle out of many pieces. It’s hard to see the whole picture – and we can’t ‘cheat’ by looking at the box lid! Restoration workers, state agencies, and scientists are all concerned about the decline in bull kelp around the Salish Sea in recent decades, and are struggling to understand the causes.
