This summer I will be transitioning from Hawaii to Maine to start a new position at Bowdoin College. At Bowdoin, I have been appointed Director of the Marine Laboratory at the Coastal Marine Center on Orr’s Island, and Associate Professor in the Biology Department. My graduate students will all stay at the University of Hawaii, and I will continue to play an active role in their research as a cooperating member of the Graduate Faculty. My family and I are excited about this new chapter in Maine, but at the same time we will all miss our friends, colleagues, and unique natural environments here in the Hawaiian Islands.
