Looking forward to seeing you soon, Friend!

  • The Spring Joint Meeting May 14 & 15 is just around the corner.  To stay up to date on all things WHOI; RSVP  today to save your place!
  • We heard your interest in joining a research cruise—and we’re so glad we were able to offer a few volunteer leaders spots aboard the Office of Naval Research’s R/V Neil Armstrong this May out of Woods Hole. Keep an eye out for future opportunities like this.
  • Thrilled to be home, the Office of Naval Research’s R/V Atlantis made a triumphant return to Woods Hole on Tuesday—its first visit in four years—welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd. To get a glimpse firsthand, reach out to your development contact about arranging a tour in the coming months, when either R/V Atlantis or R/V Armstrong is scheduled to be in Woods Hole.
  • Heads up: WHOI is gearing up for The WBUR Festival May 29 & 30 in Boston, more information to come.
