Travel log
San Diego
Before embarking on the Line Islands cruise I made a stop at San Diego State University to visit Forest Rohwer’s lab for a check out dive and to pick up some necessary gear for the cruise. It was a great opportunity to meet with many like minded scientists sharing my interest in marine microbes, and get a fresh perspective on doing science.
And of course the food and beer, oh!
