; Nereus: A full ocean depth robotic vehicle offering new opportunities in ocean exploration; Red Sea Oceanography: A U.S.-Saudi Collaboration; and Observations beneath coastal sea ice using an AUV; to name a few. The Ethics in Science Workshop continues to contribute to the depth of the program. Discussions of ethical scenarios are conducted both in small groups and with the group as a whole. Facilitators include volunteers from the WHOI scientific staff, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. The Q&A Session with current MIT/WHOI Joint Program Students promotes the discussion of graduate school and career goals. Annually, the program includes three hands-on, one-day, at-sea practicum cruises onboard the R/V Tioga focusing on data collection and sampling methods with an assortment of oceanographic technology and instruments. The cruise not only provides practical training but also brings the group together socially through a shared field experience.
