Time-out for Fun

A group of this year’s Summer Student Fellows posed for a photo during a day trip in Buzzards Bay on R/V Tioga. The students, sporting sediment taken from a grab sampler, are are (left to right) Lily Helfrich (Northwestern University), Sam Kastner (Skidmore College), Billy Shinevar (Brown University), Maya Becker (Columbia University), Jacob Forsyth (Bowdoin College) and Helena Pryer (University College London). They were searching for live animals in the sediment. Each summer, the WHOI program takes undergraduate students aboard Tioga to give them hands-on experience gathering samples with traditional oceanographic instruments and tools.
