Report of the Director and Chief Executive Officer The Marine Biological Laboratory had another exciting and successful year in 1997. We set our sights high and achieved a number of major goals for the Laboratory. We launched the first Semester in Environmental Sciences program for undergraduates from liberal arts colleges; recruited new investigators for our resident research programs; planned for and established new advanced summer courses; and found new and expanded ways to capitalize on the flexibility and sophistication
. The Biological bulletin. Biology; Zoology; Biology; Marine Biology. Report of the Director and Chief Executive Officer The Marine Biological Laboratory had another exciting and successful year in 1997. We set our sights high and achieved a number of major goals for the Laboratory. We launched the first Semester in Environmental Sciences program for undergraduates from liberal arts colleges; recruited new investigators for our resident research programs; planned for and established new advanced summer courses; and found new and expanded ways to capitalize on the flexibility and sophistication of the Marine Resources Center. These endeavors were supported by the tangible and intangible resources and energies generated by the laboratory's new fundraising campaign. Discovery: The Campaign for Science at the Marine Biological Laboratorv, which was launched with a public celebration and street fair on August 8. 1997. In my report last year. I discussed the concerted planning process that set the stage for this campaign. By focusing our research and educational directions and priorities, we were able to announce last August a campaign goal of $25 million to be raised by December 31, 2000. I am pleased to say that, as of the spring of 1998, we have already raised $ million towards that goal. I have every reason to believe that we will meet, if not exceed our goal within the timeframe of the campaign. Research at the MBL We made great strides in the MBL's resident research centers and programs during 1997. The avenues for independent research broadened and diversified in each of MBL's programmatic areas, while our investigators found new ways to work together in various interdisciplinary pursuits. The Josephine Bay Paul Center Dr. Mitchell Sogin and his colleagues in the Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution continued their important studies on the evolution of eukaryotes, most recently focusing on those found in extreme environments
