Celebrating the End of a Science-Filled Summer

Students, scientists, and organizers—including Ambrose Jearld (far left, Northeast Fisheries Science Center), George Liles (center, Woods Hole Aquarium), and Ben Gutierrez (third from right, USGS)—recently celebrated a summer of learning and research in the Partnership Education Program (PEP), developed by the Woods Hole Diversity Advisory Committee. The program encourages students from underrepresented groups to consider science careers and brings undergraduates together for coursework and research internships at six Woods Hole science and education institutions. This summer, eight PEP students worked with WHOI scientists Ken Foote, Scott Gallager, Porter Hoagland, Gareth Lawson, and Lauren Mullineaux.
