Hey blog readers,

I’ve had a first week jam packed with learning and exploring, both intellectually and geographically! To start with the intellectual; I have been gaining familiarity with the procedures and structures of which the team at WHOI operates Sentry, as well as digging into databases and machine learning pipelines. A lot of hours of research here, so not much else to share but I have learned a lot!

Geographically, I’ve explored a ton of beaches – my favorite being Nobska Beach which features a light house right on the eastward bluff. I also got to tour a few of the robotics facilities and meet them face to face (the deep sea robots, that is). And, last but certainly not least, I’ve been participating in the summer softball league and lets just say that the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering team is eaaaasily the best.

Until next week,

Steph
