L.A. Cicero Adults and children will be able to tour six research laboratories, and a special classroom will be set up with live animals for viewing. Throughout the day, beginning at 10 a.m., scientists will present half-hour talks describing their research on migrating tuna, squid communication, tide pools, sea urchins, algae, global warming and much more. Faculty speakers will include Hopkins Director George Somero, David Epel, Bill Gilly, Barbara Block, Stuart Thompson, Mark Denny and Paul Levine. The Miller Library will feature a small display about Steinbeck's novel, Cannery Row, based on Ricketts' life. Hopkins Marine Station is located next to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Oceanview Boulevard in Pacific Grove, about 90 miles south of Stanford's main campus.
All events are free and open to the public.
Please note that parking will be limited to vehicles with handicap permits. Everyone else will need to park off campus and walk onto the Hopkins grounds.
