Edith Widder comes to Lawrence

Edith Widder, Senior Scientist at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution and co-founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association (ORCA) in Fort Pierce, FL, will deliver a convocation address entitled “Eye in the Sea: What Does Deep Sea Exploration Tell Us About Marine Conservation.” Widder’s expertise in oceanographic research and technological innovation was recognized in 2006 with a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship.

As usual, the librarians at the Mudd have created a physical display in one of the display cases on the first floor of the Mudd, and a webpage linking to resources about Dr. Widder and her work. Enjoy!
