Lab and Lunch: Facial Recognition for Plankton

Bring your lunch and learn more about the high-tech microscope robot at the Exploratorium that continuously generates images of plant-like phytoplankton off Pier 17. Scientist Alexis Fischer from University of California at Santa Cruz will discuss what scientists can learn with this powerful new technology, and how it could be used to track blooms of harmful algal species in San Francisco Bay.
