August 1, 2017 The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)
Ocean Science
Exhibit Center is extending its hours to include Sundays during
the month of

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times">"We're pleased
to be
able to increase our hours to include another weekend day so
that more visitors
to Woods Hole have the opportunity to discover what's happening
in the world's
ocean and learn more about WHOI science and engineering through
our exhibits
and programs," said Ocean Science Exhibit Center Manager Kathy
Patterson.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times">Visitors to the

Science Exhibit Center—now open Monday through Sunday from 10
a.m. to 4:30
p.m.—can sit inside a full-sized model of the <i
style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Alvin</i> personnel sphere, complete with control
panels containing
equipment and switches used in Alvin over the years. Also on
display is the
REMUS SharkCam that was used to track great white sharks off
Chatham, Mass.,
and Guadalupe, Mexico, which bears the bite marks from an attack
by sharks off Mexico.
Other exhibits include a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Titanic</i>
room, a life-size display of a hydrothermal vent community and
incredible video
footage from vents in the Pacific Ocean, and fun marine mammal
sound
recordings, to name just a few.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times">Throughout the

necessary, but come ready to have fun and to learn about the
ocean that
sustains us all," Patterson said. The Center is also home to the

fun and interesting
marine-related gifts and books. As always, admission to the
