I congratulate Dr. Steve Murawski on the announcement of his new position as St. Petersburg Downtown Progress- Peter R. Betzer research professor at the University of South Florida’s College of Marine Science, which he will begin in January.
To better connect educators and students who are interested in NOAA’s education and science resources, NOAA has just completed a major update of the agency’s primary education resource portal, http://www.education.noaa.gov.
I am deeply saddened to share news of the passing of Dr. Isabella Abbott on October 28 at the age of 91. A pioneer in the study of central-Pacific seaweeds, Izzie was a font of knowledge and a beacon of inspiration for generations of marine biologists around the world, but especially at the two institutions where she taught, Stanford University and the University of Hawaii.
