The Herald-Palladium WILLIAM F. AST III,January 18, 2009 Deborah Steinberg & 4 assistants including Miram Gleiber of Stevensville of William and Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science are in Antarctica for a 6 week tour aboard the Laurence M. Gould built for year round duty in Arctic waters. The will be pulling nets and collection samples of krill and plankton to try to add to the the record to quantify for the change in the Antarctic the change in those creatures in those waters in the last 50 years that records have been kept.
With all the legislation new and contunuing funds, added research and regulation over climate change no matter your point of view the current mind set is going to make a great deal of money available to do a lot of these studies and projects some good some bad. Lets all try to make the good the good out number the bad and not just use it as an opportunity to burn more tax money.-gc

I am trying to modernize my Microscope Links pages that can be found here Science-info.net hand this is part of the process allowing people to subscribe to new content before it is posted to the next stage that archives it.
I hope allowing comments should give me more feedback an allow me to follow a better path that interests more people.
As Blogs are more or less new to me and I set it so anyone can comment but all comments are moderated until I find out how things go.
I would very much like to keep this blog wide open to the public and not require memberships to post. Memberships to participate are one of the thing I dislike most about forms, mail lists and such even though I am one of the moderators of the Yahoo
Microscope Group. - Gordon
