August 2004: Hali Kilbourne, Terry Quinn, and Fred Taylor went to Puerto Rico on a coral sampling trip. Aided by Dr Peter Swart, who took a day from his family vacation to help core, and the Herculean efforts of Milton Carlo of the University of Puerto Rico, the trip was enormously successful.

March 26, 2004: The paper by Hali Kilbourne, Terry Quinn and Fred Taylor published in Paleoceanography has been highlighted in the Editor's Choice section of Science (v. 303, p. 1947).

March 8, 2004: Junhua Liu is visiting the lab over spring break to run samples for her dissertation. She comes to us from Duke University and is the student of Dr. Tom Crowley. Junhua has a very long coral to collect elemental ratio and isotope data for, but she will make time to participate in Terry's weekly paper discussion with his students, and hopefully get to the beach at the end of her trip.
