And it provides a great opportunity to support fundamental science." - Jeff Donnelly, Senior Scientist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution "I always bring back something to use in the classroomlessons, videos, ideas, or actual physical artifacts. These workshops have strengthened my teaching and bring excitement to the subject matter." - Middle school teacher, a participant in the WHSG Topics in Oceanography workshops Sea Grant has been a hugely impactful program for guiding my research focus over the past several years.
