Stephanie Keske does computer visualization work, and is
starting a graduate program this fall at Texas A&M University.
She told me, “Just living on a ship, I think … you know, I try
to be outside as much as I can so just being trapped on a
floating hunk of metal is maybe going to be a little difficult.
I don’t know: I’ve never been in one place with an inability to
leave it for 2 months solid.” At the moment, Keske’s in the
northeast Pacific onboard an oceanographic research vessel. She
and six other educators and artists from the US and France are
working with the science team to do unprecedented outreach. Have
a listen. A smaller boat brought supplies for the CORKs to the
JOIDES Resolution on some choppy seas. You just may need a
survival suit one day. But until that day comes, you look silly.
