Our Marine Biologist is in Moorea

Nick has been in Moorea a week and we have had a chance to Skype and see him via video chat. He has shown us the area where the Lab is and WOW, is it beautiful. He told us that only the professor's are allowed inside the library where the wifi is but, He sits outside and He is able to get on the internet via wireless. The flight is about 9 hours and he had extra luggage to take for the crew. He is using a new piece of equipment that alows him to study the effects of light on coral. He is passionate about his work and is committed to bringing awareness of the effects of climate change. He will be in Moorea for 6 weeks, return home for 1 week and help us celebrate Nana's 75th birthday then off to Taiwan for 9 weeks. He says that the fieldwork is one of his favorite parts of his research, when He returns to the states ,He'll be in the lab processing the data. We're so proud of him and love hearing about his adventures.
