"Attention all W.H.O.I. marine biologists here in Oregon, the next ferry to the shore leaves at 4:15 p.m., signups for the group outing to Yellowstone are in the main lobby, congratulations to Steven De LaVegga on the birth of his new son Anthony Michael De LaVegga, and the volcano is erupting now so WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!"</b>
Ummm, I can't tell you the attribution of the quote, but I <b>can</b> tell you after three years of working in W.H. (that's Woods Hole) that WHOI has very few marine biologists. WHOI folks are oceanographers by and large - if you want marine biologists you go three miles down the road to the Marine Biological Laboratory. It's the original science facility in the area, and it's the parent organization to WHOI, which was a spin off shortly before WWI....
