7 Questions with a Census Scientist
For 4 years, the U.S. CoML Quarterly Newsletter kept the community informed of the latest and greatest CoML news, highlights, and personalities throughout the 10 year Census of Marine Life Program. Below is an archive interviews we conducted where each issue we asked a different member of the CoML Community seven (or so) questions. Each provided personal moments and new insights, serving as a snapshot in time to this complex program through its final phases. Enjoy!
