As we gear up for a new year of splashy Moss Landing graduate student adventures, check out some Drop-In highlights from our first 10 months of kicking around in 2008:<\/p>\n

We flocked from pole to pole, from Nate Jones’ surveys of seabirds in Alaska’s Bering Sea<\/a>, to Kristen Green still rubbing elbows with penguins down in Antarctica<\/a>.\u00a0 Kyle Reyonlds warmed things up with a trip to the hot vents of Fiji’s deep sea<\/a>, and Jeremiah Brower brought us <\/a>up close and personal with some very old rocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amanda Kahn regaled us with the multifaceted lives of sponges<\/a>, even writing about them for the popular Deep Sea News blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Danielle Frechette showed us why balloons can spell bad news for wildlife<\/a>, while Erin Loury waxed poetic about scurvy<\/a> and poked around in kelp holdfasts<\/a>.\u00a0 To round things off, we hosted a successful Science Cafe at the labs,<\/a> drummed up some coverage in the local press, and responded to some exciting questions from you! <\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks for reading The Drop-In and getting curious about our research and experiences!\u00a0 We look forward to bringing you along for the ride in 2009.<\/p>\n
