Which One of These is Not Like the Others?

Longtime WHOI employee—now officially a retiree who forgot that he’s not supposed to  be at work—George Tupper works on a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) water sampler in a Woods Hole workshop. Ocean researchers are constantly inventing new and better ways to sample the ocean, but the tried-and-true veterans like George and the venerable CTD still play a key role. Tupper still goes to work at sea regularly after 40+ years associated with WHOI.
