In the summer of 1925, the MBL community gathered to dedicate a flagship laboratory for its Woods Hole campus. One hundred years later, we celebrate the enduring legacy of this laboratory—and the generations of science it has inspired.
How did rotifers get their name? They have a crown of cilia that look like rotating wheels, which they use to swim and feed. Learn more: bit.ly/4g0Tt3X
Join us for the first Falmouth Forum of the season! MBL Director Nipam H. Patel will share The Amazing Life of Butterflies. Attend in person in Woods Hole or virtually. 🦋 If you join us on-site, stay after the talk to see butterflies on display! 👉 mbl.edu/events

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! The Nikon Small World Exhibit showcases life's beauty and complexity as seen through the light microscope. This year, 6th place went to Henri Koskinen, who photographed a slime mold (Cribraria cancellata). Can you guess the magnification of the lens?
Need help focusing your research? 🔬 Explore education programs and advanced research training courses at the MBL, and join us in beautiful Woods Hole next summer 🌼 Learn more: mbl.edu/education
To inspire development of robotics as cleverly dexterous as the octopus, the MBL’s Roger Hanlon lab publishes the first full ethogram, or detailed catalog, of octopus arm behaviors in the wild. 📷: Roger Hanlon mbl.edu/news/how-many-…
