Aquarius and UNCW in The New York Times! “SINCE the early 1990s, Aquarius has been stationed on a coral reef a few miles south of Key Largo, Fla., in water about 60 feet deep. There, it has carried on the legacy of Sealab by serving as a valuable undersea vantage point for scientists. Dozens of scientist-aquanauts have published 300 research papers over the course of about 120 missions, ranging in duration from a few days to a couple of weeks. Examples of the work made possible by these underwater stays include ocean acidification studies and examinations of how herbivore diversity may be manipulated to conserve and restore degrading reefs — knowledge critical to life on earth. “

UNCW nursing students Andrew Newsome and Katherine Brawley (standing, left to right) train for critical emergency care with a SimMan 3G mannequin. The mannequins can emulate the ways that a human body responds to treatment, responding to student questions and simulating the human pulse, heartbeat, respiration and even convulsions and perspiration. - UNCW/Jamie Moncrief
