need to be a scientist to volunteer, but must have a keen
interest in what we do and a willingness to work hard
alongside our scientists. The information below explains
how to sign up for a cruise. Please be aware that we work
twelve-hour shifts, which means that you may be standing
on your feet for twelve hours. Therefore, please only sign
up for a cruise if you are serious about making the
commitment. If there is an emergency, or you anticipate
that you will not be able to participate on a cruise that
you are scheduled for, please contact me immediately. </font></div>
