“SCIENCE MADE PUBLIC” LECTURE SERIES: On Tuesday, August 19, at 2:30 p.m., the WHOI “Science Made Public” series will host a presentation by Alvin Group Manager Bruce Strickrott, titled “ Humans in the Deep Ocean, From Imagination to Reality. ” 

In 1870, Jules Verne penned his famous novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea , putting on paper as fiction what many had dreamed about, the ability to visit and explore the unknown depths of the ocean. From that time moving forward, the dream of deep-ocean exploration has become a reality and has uncovered profound discoveries about the planet and the ocean environment. 

Learn about the history of human-occupied submersibles, starting from the early primitive designs and working toward how we operate Alvin today and the plan to take Alvin even deeper over the next few years. During this presentation, Bruce will moderate a live phone call to the research vessel Atlantis to hear first hand about Alvin’s latest adventures. The “Science Made Public” talks are free and open to the public. 

Redfield Auditorium is located at 45 Water Street in Woods Hole. If you are unable to make it to the talk, it will be webcast at http://www.whoi.edu/main/public-webcast . For more information, call (508) 289-2700 or visit http://www.whoi.edu/ScienceMadePublic/ .
