Learning How to Cope-pod

During a tour of Bigelow Laboratory last week, Advancement Officer Kim Nutt snapped a photo of PhD student Zach Wagner introducing visitors to Calanus, a tiny animal with a big impact here in the Gulf of Maine. The presentation included a closer look at these tiny copepods under the microscope.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about these feisty and fantastic zooplankton, Zach!

And if you weren’t one of the lucky folks who caught this microscopy moment last week, don’t fret: you can hear more from Zach during his Ocean on Tap talk at Footbridge Brewery in Boothbay Harbor tonight at 6 p.m.!
