Not all ghosts float through walls murmuring “Boo!” at 2 a.m. Ghost viruses are proof that watery phantoms thrive beneath the surface.
Next Friday, please join us at Ækeir Brewing for the first Ocean on Tap talk in Wiscasset. Dr. Alaina Weinheimer will speak about how a recent revolutionary innovation at Bigelow Laboratory led to the unexpected discovery of a previously invisible group of viruses from seawater collected here in the Damariscotta River.
Ocean on Tap is an informal, ocean-centric speaker series organized by researchers from Bigelow Laboratory. Our goal is to bring the community together over the fascinating world of the ocean. At these events, speakers will share their corner of expertise in the ocean, and attendees are encouraged to ask questions.
