Walking the Pier: Women in Scripps Plankton Research

The Birch Aquarium celebrates the incredible contributions of women in the rich history of marine plankton research at Scripps. Judit Hersko performs part of her innovative series of visual narratives, "Pages from the Book of the Unknown Explorer," transporting you to Scripps’ early days through a cleverly imagined correspondence between Dr. Easter Cupp, Scripps' first female Ph.D. graduate, and a fictitious female explorer inspired by Hersko's research and field experience in Antarctica. Melissa Carter takes us on a journey through nearly a century of observations from Scripps Pier, bringing us to the present day. She provides an insider’s look at emerging research and observational technologies used on the pier and explores how these innovations drive new, groundbreaking discoveries in marine plankton research.
