FSML FHL Research Infrastructure

在丹尼斯·威洛斯博士的指导下，华盛顿大学获得了一笔拨款，用于更换实验室调查用的显微镜，以及星期五港实验室（FHL）用于近岸和潮间带实地考察的舷外动力小艇。这些显微镜是维持基础研究和教学基础设施所必需的，而这艘船将取代一艘年久失修、无法使用的显微镜。FHL位于Juan de Fuca、Georgia海峡和Puget海湾的交界处，这里有着不同寻常的生物多样性和沿海海洋研究的机会。FHL支持从分子和细胞生物学到动物行为和群落生态学的研究。传统上，它鼓励著名学者、研究人员和学生在包括动物学、海洋学、植物学和基础生物医学在内的广泛领域进行创新和跨领域的原创研究。在这一请求的帮助下，他们希望为来自不同文化背景的国家和国际海洋科学机构的学生和调查人员建立并维持至少30年的研究和培训机会。

A grant has been awarded to the University of Washington, under the direction of Dr. Dennis WIllows to provide funds to replace microscopes for laboratory investigations, and an outboard powered skiff for nearshore and intertidal fieldwork at the Friday Harbor Laboratory (FHL). The microscopes are needed to maintain the basic research and teaching infrastructure, and the boat will replace one that is decrepit and unusable. FHL is located at the junction of Juan de Fuca and Georgia Straits and Puget Sound, at a site of unusual biological diversity and opportunities for coastal ocean studies. FHL supports research from molecular and cell biology along a scale of increasing spatial dimensions to animal behavior and community ecology. It has traditionally encouraged innovative and cross-cutting original research by eminent scholars, researchers, and students in a wide range of fields including zoology, oceanography, botany, and basic biomedical sciences. With help from this request, they hope to establish and sustain for at least 3 decades, opportunities for research and training for students and investigators from culturally diverse, national and international institutions in the marine sciences.
