Grab a pint and settle in as WHOI researchers Malcolm Scully and Irina Rypina steer us through the science of water quality in Cape Cod Bay. Come learn about what drove recent low-oxygen dead zones and how radioactive wastewater from Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station’s decommissioning could make its way through the Bay.
The conversation will start at 5:30pm and last about an hour. Come curious for a Q&A and a chance to chat with the researchers and fellow science enthusiasts after the event!
