Each year the program gives up and coming scientists, such as Deane, a chance to do field or lab research, and gain hands-on experience that is rare for an undergraduate. Science faculty met with the students in February, who then applied for the

creatures produce and release, the timing of these activities, and the underlying reasons driving such behavior. It is similar to solving a complex puzzle that promises deeper insights into the enigmas of our oceans. Flaspohler and Fisher collected water samples to identify the array of compounds present and their fluctuations over time. They also undertook hands-on experiments cultivating phytoplankton – microscopic plant-like organisms – within the lab. Their mission was twofold: they grew and
