Woods Hole - quick walk around on a windy October day.
Very blustery.... the tail end of Tropical Storm Melissa. (12th Oct 2019)
We wanted to visit Martha's Vineyard but most ferries had been cancelled the previous two days.... and were extremely busy on the 12th... so we didn't make it !! infact they were not sailing Woods Hole - Oak Bluffs ... just to Vineyard Haven.

Many scientists return to the MBL summer after summer to teach or do research. When we asked why, their answers included words like recharge, magical, inspire, interact, connections, learn, and life changing. Clearly the MBL, and similar institutions that bring scientists together, impact researchers' lives long after the summer sun has set.

Falmouth (pronunciation: /ˈfælmᵻθ/ FAL-mith) is a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States; Barnstable County is coextensive with Cape Cod. The population was 31,532 at the 2010 census, making Falmouth the second-largest municipality on Cape Cod after Barnstable. The terminal for the Steamship Authority ferries to Martha's Vineyard is located in the village of Woods Hole in Falmouth. Woods Hole also contains several scientific organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), the Woods Hole Research Center, the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, and the scientific institutions' various museums.
For geographic and demographic information on specific parts of the town of Falmouth, please see the articles on East Falmouth, Falmouth Village, North Falmouth, Teaticket, West Falmouth, and Woods Hole. Falmouth also encompasses the villages of Hatchville and Waquoit, which are not census-designated places and fall within the village of East Falmouth based on postal service
Falmouth was first settled by English colonists in 1660 and was officially incorporated in 1686. Bartholomew Gosnold named the settlement for Falmouth, Cornwall, England, his home port. Early principal activities were farming, salt works, shipping, whaling, and sheep husbandry, which was very popular due to the introduction of Merino sheep and the beginnings of water-powered mills that could process the wool. In 1837, Falmouth averaged about 50 sheep per square mile.
Falmouth saw brief action in the War of 1812, when the area around Falmouth Heights, on its southern coast, was bombarded by several British frigates and ships of the line, and Massachusetts militia hastily entrenched themselves on the beaches to repulse a possible British landing which never came. By 1872, the train had come to Falmouth and Woods Hole, and some of the first summer homes were established. By the late 19th century, cranberries were being cultivated and strawberries were being raised for the Boston market. Large-scale dairying was tried in the early 20th century in interior regions. After the improvement in highways, and thanks in part to the heavy use of neighboring Otis Air National Guard Base during World War II, population growth increased significantly. Large homebuilding booms occurred in the 1970s, followed by others in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the late 1800s, after railroad service was established between Boston and Cape Cod, James Madison Beebe bought over 700 acres (280 ha) and built Highfield Hall, which is now a museum, and much of the land is preserved as Beebe Woods.
In 1965, Robert Manry sailed from Falmouth aboard his 13.5-foot (4.1 m) sailboat and reached Falmouth, England, 78 days later

Woods Hole Fourth of July Parade 2014
This is a full video of the Annual Woods Hole, MA, MBL Club 4th of July parade. It was filmed on the 6th of July 2014 due to the Tropical Storm Arthur (downgraded from a Tropical Cyclone) that swept by Cape Cod, Massachusetts on the 4th of July. It features members of the Woods Hole, MA, community including The MBL Club, Marine Biological Laboratories , MBL's Periwinkle and Satellite Clubs, Scientists, Post Docs, students, teachers and enthusiasts parading to show their patriotism and their love of science. You will see lots of beautiful handmade costumes and vehicles, many with an ocean creature theme. Grass Fellows parade proudly in their grass skirts, and other appendages. During this parade I saw an apparent DNA/Chromosomal process in action portrayed with pool noodles and beach balls. Later there seems to be a animal body with it's brain displayed on a lab cart with strange water balloon processes going on around it. (I would love it if someone would clarify my interpretation and post it. It would be great if anyone participating in the parade would post or contact me with detailed descriptions of the groups in the parade so that I can add it.) Members of the Falmouth Classic Car Club displayed another beautiful vintage car during the parade this year. Afterwards, free watermelon is provided by the MBL Club at the Woods Hole Waterfront Park. I always get a tear in my eye when I attend the parade, I still remember the first time I saw it back in 1991. It is also great to get together with family and friends on gorgeous Cape Cod during the holiday.

J. Woodland Hastings (Harvard U): Autoinduction: The Discovery of Quorum Sensing in Bacteria
Talk Overview:
In the late 1960s, Hastings was studying bioluminescence in the marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri. He and his post-doc, Kenneth Nealson, discovered that bacteria could communicate by secreting a small peptide. This allowed V. fischeri to sense the concentration of their fellow bacteria and, when the density reached a critical level, turn on bioluminescence. Hastings named this process autoinduction, also known as quorum sensing. Quorum sensing has since been shown to play a critical role in bacterial behaviors such as toxin production and biofilm formation.
Speaker Biography:
J. Woodland “Woody” Hastings was the Paul C. Mangelsdorf Professor of Natural Sciences Emeritus in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University and a long time affiliate of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Hastings had life-long fascination with bioluminescence. Together with scientist Kenneth Nealson, Hastings discovered that bioluminescent bacteria could communicate and act as a group; a process Hastings called autoinduction. Studies of luminescence in fireflies and dinoflagellates, in turn led to work on the circadian cycle. Hastings was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.
Sadly, Hasting died in August 2014, shortly after this recording. He was 87 years old.

The Co-Evolution of Life and Rocks: Insights from Data-Driven Discovery - Robert Hazen
Robert Hazen, Carnegie Institution for Science; George Mason University
Introducer: Mitch Sogin, Distinguished Scientist, Marine Biological Laboratory
Lecture Abstract:
A fundamental goal of the Earth and life sciences is the deep understanding of planetary evolution through 4.5 billion years of history. Recent research employing large and growing data resources in mineralogy, petrology, paleobiology, paleotectonics, geochemistry, and proteomics underscores the intertwined influences of life and rocks on Earth’s evolution. Data-driven discovery depends on three key developments: (1) enhanced data resources in diverse geo- and bio-related fields; (2) development and implementation of powerful analytical and visualization methods; and (3) creative framing of questions related to the evolving geosphere and biosphere in space and time. In this lecture, Dr. Hazen will explore three rapidly emerging examples of data-driven discovery: (1) Mineral evolution—the exploration of the diversity and distribution of minerals through deep time; (2) mineral ecology, which predicts the existence of rare minerals and deposits that have yet to be discovered and described; and (3) network analysis—a powerful method for visualizing Earth’s co-evolving geosphere and biosphere.
Robert M. Hazen is a Senior Staff Scientist at the Carnegie Institution’s Geophysical Laboratory and Clarence Robinson Professor of Earth Sciences at George Mason University. He received the B.S. and S.M. in geology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Ph.D. at Harvard University in earth science. He is author of 400 scientific articles and 25 books, including Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life’s Origin and The Story of Earth. He was the 2016 Roebling Medalist. A former President of the Mineralogical Society of America, Dr. Hazen’s recent research focuses on the role of minerals in the origin of life, the co-evolution of the geo- and biospheres, and the application of “big data” to understanding mineral diversity and distribution. He is also Executive Director of the Deep Carbon Observatory, a 10-year project to study the chemical and biological roles of carbon in Earth’s interior. Dr. Hazen is active in presenting science to nonscientists through writing, radio, TV, public lectures, and video courses. In 2016 he retired after a 45-year career as a professional symphonic trumpeter.
