Scores of scientists over the past century have considered Woods Hole their second home, and some chose it as their final place of rest.

Last summer, students from the��Hydra Lab��in the��MBL Whitman Center�������𲹳ٱ������in Woods Hole. It's a fascinating tribute to an extraordinary scientific village.

Some of the gravestones (with brief bios) included are:

* Hans Albert Einstein, son of Albert Einstein

* Biologist Herman Eisen, whose gravestone reads “Supposing is good, but finding out is better"

* Ethel Browne Harvey, embryologist and regenerative biologist

* J. Woodland “Woody” Hastings, leader in the fields of bioluminescence and circadian rhythms

* Stephen Kuffler, “Father of Modern Neuroscience” and founder of the ǧ����Ƶ Neurobiology course in 1970

* Frank R. Lillie of University of Chicago, second director of the ǧ����Ƶ (1908-1925)

* Jacques Loeb, founder of the ǧ����Ƶ Physiology course in 1892

* Nobel Laureates Otto Loewi, Albert Szent-Györgyi, and Selman Waksman

* Byron H. Waksman, scientist and science communicator, founder of the hands-on research course for science journalists at the ǧ����Ƶ (1990)

* E.B. Wilson, author of the classic textbook, “The Cell in Development and Inheritance" (1900)

The interdisciplinary Hydra Lab, directed by����of Columbia University, included 14 scientists from 9 institutions over the course of the summer at MBL. The lab is working toward cracking the neural code of Hydra, a small freshwater organism. Yuste and����of University of California, Irvine, guided students Jordan Bolling (University of Alabama), Emma Paulini (Pomona College), and John Wang (Columbia University) in creating the tombstone map.
