Bill was a big part of MLML for many years. He started as a student in the Physical Oceanography lab under Dr. Broenkow, completing his <a href=\"http:\/\/islandora.mlml.calstate.edu\/islandora\/object\/islandora%3A1705\">thesis on tidal currents in Elkhorn Slough<\/a> in 2005. He then worked at the labs in the shop and helped many students with projects, particularly with\u00a0 electronics and instrumentation.<\/p>\n<p>Bill also shared his love of music with the MLML community. He started a bluegrass group at the lab, and started a two-year trip to handcraft 5 string banjos (see photos below). One of those banjos was raffled off to fund a $3,000 dollar student scholarship a few years back (more about this here: <a href=\"http:\/\/data.moby.mlml.calstate.edu\/banjo9\/\">http:\/\/data.moby.mlml.calstate.edu\/banjo9\/<\/a>). The Bill Watson Memorial Scholarship will be awarded this spring, at our annual scholarship reception, in the amount determined by the donations we receive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h6>Update:<\/h6>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Congratulations to June Shrestha of the Ichthyology lab!<\/li>\n<li>The Bill Watson scholarship was a one-time award, but there are plenty of opportunities to support MLML students at <a href=\"https:\/\/giving.mlml.calstate.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/giving.mlml.calstate.edu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/physoce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2017\/08\/BillWatson1.jpg\" alt=\"billwatson1\" width=\"526\" height=\"394\" \/><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-269 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/physoce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2017\/08\/BillWatson2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"billwatson2\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLML will be awarding a one-time scholarship this year in memory of Bill Watson.
