Note from Rick Schulting: BAP members Rick Schulting and Corrie Hyland participated in a recent Animals Make Identities (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/animals-make-identities) project meeting 15-18 November, led by Dr. Kristiina Mannermaa and held at the University of Helsinki’s marine research station (every university should have one) at Tvärminne.

Highlight (other than the excellent research papers) was the proper Finnish sauna – no snakes allowed!

Great looking crew on a short boat trip! Corrie Hyland is there in spirit only, as she attended online along with some other participants. That’s one way to avoid getting sea-sick!

At the marine research centre! Thank you to Dr. Kristiina Mannermaa for the trip photos.
