The Darwin Project goes to the Museum
When San Francisco’s Exploratorium moves into its new building on the waterfront next year, it promises to use technologies in ways never before seen in a museum. One of those experiences will be an interactive ocean, the product of a collaboration between scientists at UC Davis and MIT’s Darwin Project. Read more
The Perfect Gift for Marine Microbiologists: Freedom to Try the Untested
Among three from MIT, Mick Follows named Marine Microbiology Initiative investigator: Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation awards given to pursue high-risk research in marine microbial ecology. Read more at MIT News.
Power in Modeling Virtual Marine Microbes
In this article, featured in the July issue of Microbe magazine, Darwin Project researcher Stephanie Dutkiewicz explains how, when used properly, models provide valuable insights into complex systems and sometimes yield surprising, even counterintuitive outcomes.
