It is the 100th anniversary of the Pacific Biological Station, where Mom works. As a celebration the research station held an Open House and we all headed over to see the displays. Thousands of people from Nanaimo look forward to this event. The staff did a great job, and some of the displays included a live cooking demonstration of fish and seafood (with samples); a large 'reef' inhabited by dogfish, rockfish, lingcod and big skate; tanks and tanks of invertebrates;
tours of the research vessels; and many posters and booths outlining the research conducted at the station. Jake got a chance to see the posters (made by Maria) about Mom's research programs: lingcod and sharks and skates.
And possibly there may be a future shark researcher in the family.
