When the term starts to kick into high gear, distance can’t keep us apart for our routine lab meeting chats (see screenshot of zoom hybrid lab meetings). Last week, we were joined by Helena, a former student of Dr. Menden-Deuer’s online biological oceanography class as part of URI GSO’s new online oceanography masters program. The meetings are a great time to see what everyone’s been up to, share updates about the lab, and even welcome visitors like Helena.
