The Bioinformatics Program held the 2013 Annual Retreat on October 4-5 at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole. The MBL is an international center for research, education and training in biology, biomedicine and ecology. The agenda included an improvscience workshop, a chartered Woods Hole Discovery Cruise, presentation of the first Bioinformatics Student Service Award, a student feedback forum and a performance by local band, Brother’s Rye.
