🦞 Clams, Crustaceans, and Camaraderie

On Thursday afternoon, Bigelow Laboratory hosted its annual picnic at Newagen Seaside Inn, encouraging our team to savor the splendors of coastal Maine.

Employees, board members, family, and beloved friends enjoyed a traditional Maine lobster bake overlooking the ocean. The afternoon included mingling around picnic tables, sharing good-natured laughter, and competing in lawn games. While the meal was perfectly delicious, though, it played second fiddle to the sense of tight-knit community and connectedness that have become hallmarks of our institution.

To all the hard-working, inspiring Bigelowians and generous board members who go above and beyond to make our institution shine: thank you. Discovery and innovation happen because of your commitment to ocean science, and it was a delight celebrating you!
