style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Alice Alpert, a graduate
student in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program, studies what the chemistry
of coral
skeletons can tell us about the ocean in the past. Before coming
to WHOI, she
worked in Antarctica as a lab technician. There she met poet
Katharine Coles,
whose visit was sponsored by the National Science Foundation as
part of a
program to bring artists and writers to the forbidding continent.
Coles’ book
of poems based on that experience, <i>The Earth Is Not Flat</i>,
was just
published by Red Hen Press. Sponsored by the WHOI Information
Office. Coffee,
tea, and cookies served. Donations accepted.</span>
