Fishing for scientific specimens
Specimen collection. Researcher hauling in a net used to collect specimens for biological research at the Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL), in Massachusetts, USA. The MBL studies marine organisms to further understanding of human biology. Creatures such as squid, horseshoe crabs, toadfish and rays are studied, with the research encompassing fields as diverse as immunology, neurology, haematology and ophthalmology. The MBL is the largest biology laboratory in the world. Established in 1888, it is a privately run, grant- maintained laboratory not affiliated with any other laboratory or university. Many specimens are caught locally, as the waters are rich in life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dedicated researcher engaged in the vital task of fishing for scientific specimens at the renowned Woods Hole Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) in Massachusetts, USA. The MBL, established in 1888, stands as the largest biology laboratory globally and operates independently from any other institution or university. In this image, a male scientist can be seen hauling in a net used to collect specimens for biological research. The waters surrounding Cape Cod are teeming with diverse marine life, making it an ideal location for such field research. The MBL's mission is to deepen our understanding of human biology through studying creatures like squid, horseshoe crabs, toadfish, and rays. The scope of their research extends across various fields including immunology, neurology, haematology, and ophthalmology. By meticulously collecting these specimens from the ocean depths and subjecting them to rigorous analysis within state-of-the-art laboratories at MBL, scientists strive to unlock valuable insights into human physiology. This awe-inspiring photograph not only showcases the dedication and passion of researchers but also highlights the immense beauty that lies beneath the surface of our oceans. It serves as a reminder that by exploring and studying nature's wonders with unwavering curiosity and scientific rigor at institutions like MBL; we continue to unravel mysteries crucial for advancing our knowledge of both marine organisms and ourselves.
