The ELA was on the minds of the delegates at the annual meeting of the
Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography in New Orleans yesterday.
A number of delegates showed up wearing t-shirts supporting the ELA.
In his opening address, president of the association, Dr. James Elser suggested that almost every session will use pieces of science either derived or inspired by research at the ELA.
He calls the closure of the ELA a tragedy for the public good and scientific enterprise.
