We’re back aboard the JOIDES Resolution, or JR. That’s the ocean drilling research vessel in the northeast Pacific that I profiled last episode. But this time the educators and artists onboard who are doing outreach to the public have gone all over the JR, and recorded sounds and interviews. This episode is theirs, and it captures a bit of what it’s like to live aboard a massive research vessel for 2 months straight. Have a listen.

Special thanks to Lisa Crowder, one of the JR’s assistant lab officers, for lending her gift of voice and song to the end of this episode.

    Jackie – That was a fantastic poem! I could almost feel like I was there actually hearing those sounds. Wishing you and your team continued excitement and discovery! I can’t wait to hear all about it upon your return!

    Hey Jackie,

    Fabulous poem!! Your words are very descriptive and easy to connect visual pictures with your experience. Thanks for a peek into your world on the ship. Can’t hardly wait to be more e-mailing with you. First School meeting tomorrow, and I will start teaching in January. “Talk” to you soon.
