The Marine Biological Laboratory is also in Woods Hole. These are data folks. They are attempting to create a fully sortable database of all living creatures on this globe.
We walked by posters for studies that identify hundreds of species of phytoplankton or isolate chemicals that make undersea creatures fluoresce or horse crab blood coagulate when under stress. Those were the studies I could make any sense of….never mind the ones I couldn’t even get past the title. It is fascinating work.
