ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2011 14 OF OUR FEMALE STUDENTS ATTENDED THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM’S “WOMEN IN SCIENCE DAY”, WHERE THEY TOURED THE AQUARIUM WITH OUR EDUCATION STAFF AND MET MANY OF MY FEMALE COLLEAGUES IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND ROLES AS SCIENTISTS AT THE AQUARIUM ALONG THE WAY.  WE EVEN MET A LYNN CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNA, BELINDA BRACKETT, WHO IS ONE OF OUR MARINE MAMMAL TRAINERS, AND WAS THERE TO TALK TO OUR STUDENTS ABOUT HER JOB AFTER WE ALL EXPERIENCED ONE OF THEIR LIVE FUR SEAL TRAINING SESSIONS.  HERE ARE SOME IMAGES OF OUR DAY.

It would take over 10 Giant Ocean Tanks at the New England Aquarium to equal

one North End Molasses tank that failed in 1919…

MY MOLASSES WALK…

So, I have visited, studied, and worked in Boston for over 40 years, and never actually looked for the site of the great molasses flood of my second home town’s history…this past saturday while working at the Aquarium, I decided to walk the North End neighborhood that surrounds the site during my lunch hour, and I was determined to find that sign…

Here’s some stuff I found….
