Home from the tropics

Well, my research cruise in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) has ended. The cruise was an incredible experience, both personally and professionally, and will not be something I soon forget. In a month's time, I will be shipping out to Antarctica for a 6-week research cruise. In the meantime, I will begin processing my samples from my grazing experiments conducted in the ETP. It's good to be back on solid ground (for now)! Happy holidays!
