TOUR LOCATION: Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove. Directions and map located in extended entry. (Note: This is a walking tour.)
Hopkins Marine Station
Hopkins Marine Station is a marine biology research and educational facility that operates as a branch of Stanford University's Department of Biological Sciences. Founded in 1892, Hopkins was the first marine laboratory to be established on the American Pacific coast. Since that time, many notable scientists, as well as a continuous population of undergraduate and graduate students have come to the Station to study and work towards a better understanding of the marine world. The Station is located in Pacific Grove, on the Monterey Peninsula. Telephone: 707-433-3772; Fax 707-433-7946. Our host will be Joseph Wible, Head Librarian and Bibliographer, and Assistant to the Station Director.
Joseph Wible, PhD
Joe Wible received his Masters in Library Science from Emory University and his Ph.D. in biology from University of Southern California. Currently he participates in the Channel Islands Research Program's long-term monitoring of subtidal communities off southern California. In addition to running the library, Dr. Wible is the Station's webmaster. He also helps with fundraising, publicity, and provides computer and networking support for the Station.

I'd prefer to organize a "caravan" of vehicles rather than renting a Charter Bus. This would save the Chapter a tremendous outlay as well as reduce individual registration costs.
- Please contact me ASAP if you are willing to drive your own vehicle, or to use your vehicle for a carpool, or are willing to drive a rental van (underwritten by the Chapter) for this event. Registration for drivers will be reduced.
