In a remarkable collaboration, Enrico Ser-Giacomi, a physicist specializing in fluid dynamics and marine ecology, has teamed up with Alberto Riva, an elite yacht designer and skipper, to turn a private yacht into an unconventional marine science laboratory. Continue reading A Physicist, a Skipper, and an Idea
A warm welcome to Konstantin Weber, who will be visiting the Darwin Group for the next several weeks.
