Summer Student Fellows Maya Becker and Jacob Forsyth and instructor Hovey Clifford consult a field guide to identify sediment animals collected during a short cruise on Buzzards Bay aboard the R/V Tioga. Clifford is one of four WHOI retirees who join the cruise each summer “to give the students a flavor of what is involved in planning, preparing, and eventually going to sea to obtain samples for research.” (Photo by Jayne Doucette, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
