This Saturday July 19, 2008 from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. is the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's Open House. If you are in central California come on out and see our shiny oceanographic toys. Yours truly will be delivering a couple of talks during the day on seamounts. If my big shiny head doesn't draw you in thing come for the giant inflatable squid. You can get more information here.
Damn! I'm going to miss giant inflatable squid! MBARI has all the really cool toys.
craig...
i too will sadly miss this event as i'll be on the "other coast" this weekend...
though, i would happily cancel if the open house was instead featuring a "big shiny squid head" and a "giant inflatable craig mcclain"...
