NECROPSY STORY:

Open House 2008 set for May 10

posted 05/09/2008
On Saturday, May 10, 2008, University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories will hold its Open House. This event offers a splendid opportunity to meet scientists and students at the Labs and check out the research and teaching facilities. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Labs will be open for self-guided tours. Scientists and students will showcase their marine science research, answer questions and provide demonstrations. There will be posters, marine plants and animals, microscopes, plankton sampling and observations, and activities for visitors of all ages. FHL Director Ken Sebens will be available to talk about FHL programs and research, and his own research program. Kids are particularly encouraged to attend.

The public is invited to learn more about the equipment used by scientists to learn more about marine zoology, botany, fisheries and oceanography. People can step aboard and tour our 58’ research vessel, the R/V Centennial, and check out its remotely operated vehicle (ROV), oceanographic tools, and high-tech sonar systems. There will be several lectures between 1pm and 3pm. given by FHL scientists. The titles of their lectures will be “Symbiosis-Interesting Interrelations Between Different Species”, “Natural History of the Subtidal Zone” and “FHL History”. There will also be a demonstration of SCUBA equipment and a SCUBA dive from the FHL dock.

Sturdy shoes are recommended because the tour route includes rough dock planks, gravel paths and trails. You can find free popcorn in the tradition of Friday Harbor Laboratories’ Open Houses, and light refreshments will be available in the Dining Hall for a small fee.

UW FH WEB SITE provides a detailed overview of FHL’s research, service and educational activities.

Climbing aboard the Centennial, catching plankton, watching a scuba diver via an underwater camera, and touching a very slimy sea star were just a few of the activities available at the 2007 University of Washington Friday Harbor Labs Open House last Saturday. More than 700 people attended the event.
