As the prestigious Physiology course at Woods Hole’s Marine Biological Laboratory wraps up, I’m filled with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute and collaborate with such an exceptional program.
Over six intense weeks, I watched students dive headfirst into complex biological challenges — navigating unfamiliar systems, mastering advanced equipment, and pushing their research through three demanding project cycles. Their energy, creativity, and commitment were truly inspiring.
I’m especially proud to have supported an imaging system that was in near-constant use — booked almost every night (and more than a few mornings!). This would not have been possible without the generous support of amazing technology partners:
🔷 Confocal NL – NL5+ Four-channel Confocal line scanner
🔷 Inscoper – Real-time acquisition software
🔷 Okolab – Bold stage-top incubator
🔷 Omicron – LightHUB+ laser engine
🔷 Spach Optics – Beautiful Nikon Objectives
🔷 Ultimeyes – UMS microscope
Together, we integrated far more than a microscope — we helped students transform questions into experiments and observations into discovery.
To the Class of 2025: Your curiosity and persistence fuel our work. We can’t wait to see where your science takes you.
Thank you to the MBL and our partners for making this collaboration possible – and special thanks to Chance for capturing this great moment!
