Tara is coming to New York City for a week, starting February 5. Tara is in her third year of sailing around the world's oceans to sample plankton (from the visible macro-organisms down to the nano-sized viruses).

The expedition originates in France - and is in its final leg, heading back - but is an international research collaboration.

During her visit, Tara will be docking at Battery Park, North Cove Marina. Planned events include school visits, lectures and a reception at the French Consulate. If you're into that stuff, it's a friendly crew -- stop by and say 'hello'. (or 'bon jour!')

Becky I didn't realize you were at the U. My son is a sophomore there in Computer Science.
