Savannah, Ga. – The University of Georgia UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography will present an “Open Lab Night” as part of its Evening @ Skidaway series on Tuesday, July 11. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit informally with scientists in their laboratories.

The program will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by lab visits until 8 p.m. at 10 Ocean Science Circle, Savannah, Georgia, 31411.

Scientists participating in the program will include marine biologist Adam Greer, who will display his cutting-edge imaging system that provides a dramatic new insight into marine life.
