Discover America visits SIO

Thanks to Jesse and Natalia for their help yesterday with the Discover America program run by the US State Department; SIO successfully hosted 35 foreign ambassadors and their spouses for an educational tour of the Scripps Pier. It was quite an experience. Jesse and I successfully dodged the photographers, but here’s a photo of Natalia talking science (presumably) with the ambassador of Cabo Verde and his wife. Downside: not a single diplomat or spouse wanted to go swimming, despite dolphins and balmy water temps!

Natalia talks science with his Excellency Carlos Alberto Wahnon De Carvalho Veiga and Ms. Maria Epifania Cruz Almeida of Cabo Verde. I presume they’re discussing biogeochemical cycling in mangrove forests. Credit: Scripps Communications
