Table of Contents: Rowe Laboratory (photo illustration by T. Kleindinst and P. Oberlander; sea lamprey illustration (dreamstime.com); Whitman Investigator David Piston of Vanderbilt University (E. Armstrong); Microfabricated chambers holding sea urchin embryos (N. Minc, F. Chang and D. Burgess)

Pp. 2–3, clockwise from top: Section of oral biofilm imaged using CLASI FISH. Each color represents a different taxa of bacteria (B. Rossetti); Whitman Investigators Tim Mitchison of Harvard Medical School and Ron Vale of HHMI/University of California-San Francisco (E. Armstrong); First MBL Director Charles Otis Whitman (MBL Archives); Whitman Investigators Amy Gladfelter of Dartmouth College and Christine Field of Harvard Medical School (E. Armstrong); Whitman Investigator Robyn Crook of University of Texas-Houston (E. Armstrong)

Pp. 4-5: Sea lamprey illustration (dreamstime.com); Giant axons (nerve fibers) in the intact lamprey spinal cord are labeled in red by a fluorescent retrograde tracer (O. Bloom); (L to R) Whitman Investigator Ona Bloom of Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, MBL scientist Joel Smith, Whitman Investigator Jennifer Morgan of University of Texas-Austin, and Whitman Investigator Joseph Buxbaum of Mount Sinai School of Medicine (T. Kleindinst)

Pp. 6-7, clockwise from top left: Fluorescence image of a living cell (MDCK) expressing septin molecules linked to green fluorescent protein (GFP). The image was recorded with the Fluorescence LC-PolScope and shows fluorescent septin fibers in color, indicating that the fluorescence is polarized and the septin molecules are aligned in the fibers (R. Oldenbourg); Frog illustration (dreamstime.com); Beta cell (Wikipedia.com); Late-stage midshipman larvae attached to a rocky substrate (M. Marchaterre); Woman with tinnitus illustration (dreamstime.com)

Pp. 8-9, clockwise from top left: Whitman Investigators Jim and Cathy Galbraith of the National Institutes of Health (T. Kleindinst); Eric Betzig of Howard Hughes Medical Institute/Janelia Farm (T. Kleindinst); Cellular structures as seen by Bessel beam plane illumination microscopy. Clockwise from upper left: membrane ruffles in a monkey kidney cell; chromosomes (green) and golgi (magenta) in a dividing pig kidney cell; mitochondria in a living pig kidney cell; and microtubules (green) and nuclei (magneta) in a pair of human osteosarcoma cells (E. Betzig); A cultured neuron expressing homer-GFP, a postsynaptic marker. Bright fluorescent puncta along the dendrites show localization of synapses (P. Selvin); Microtubules labeled with CF633 secondary antibodies in fixed COS-7 cells, gSHRImP image (P. Selvin).

Pp. 10-11: Background: Flower of Life illustration (dreamstime.com); Microfabricated chambers holding sea urchin embryos (N. Minc, F. Chang and D. Burgess); Whitman Investigators David Burgess of Boston College and Fred Chang of Columbia University (T. Kleindinst)

Pp. 12-13: Whitman Investigator Rodolfo Llinás of New York University School of Medicine (T. Kleindinst); Synaptic transmission illustration (NIH/Wikipedia); Loligo pealei illustration (B. Harmon)

P. 14, left to right: MBL course (T. Kleindinst); 3D rendering of cuttlefish skin cells, stained with acid fuchsin (S. Senft); MBL Semester in Environmental Science program graduate Amy Townsend-Small conducting her thesis work in the Andes (courtesy of A. Townsend-Small)

P. 15: Background: Aequorea jellyfish (O. Shimomura); Inset: John Costello (L) tests the SCUVA system off of Friday Harbor in Puget Sound, Washington with fluid-dynamics engineer Kakani Young. Young built the SCUVA system as a Ph.D. candidate in John Dabiri’s lab at CalTech (E. Klos)

P. 16: Whitman Investigator and Whitman Center Director Robert Goldman of Northwestern University (T. Kleindinst)

Page 17: Tubularia, relatives of the jellyfish whose colonies grow profusely on docks in Woods Hole, are one of the historical mainstays of MBL research on regeneration, including by S. Meryl Rose and his student Kenyon Tweedell, who later became an MBL independent investigator.
