When we started our “dry theory to juicy reality” project, our goal was to bring ocean and atmosphere dynamics to life and get students excited about investigating them in a rotating tank. Judging from all the feedback we got, this seems to have worked really well! Read Johanna Knauf’s comic for a student’s perception of our pre-social distancing class:

Johanna, thank you SO MUCH for this comic, it does make us happy every time we look at it. It is great to see that you enjoyed the class and that it wasn’t only us who thought that this was fun (and really useful). It is motivating us to keep working hard on bringing similar experiences to even more students. The last picture in your comic perfectly captures it! This was a success — now what’s next? 🙂
