I wrapped up my previous day/started a new day by assisting with the successful launch of an XBT (expendable bathythermograph) at 0145 this morning for research being conducted by Dr. Magdalena Andres. We also received our souvenir shrunken cups from the CTD that went down to 2575 m. Overall, it was a fun day structured around group activities that were designed to help us get to know one another better, punctuated with an impactful discussion about equity led by Dr. Shondricka Burrell. I am looking forward to the events for tomorrow and will close out with a stern view of the moon.
