DISL Director Scott Quackenbush Passes

I received an email the other day from Sally Brennan at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. The new director of DISL as of July, Scott Quackenbush, passed away last week from advanced cancer. That's a shocker, I would never have guessed that when I met with him in early August at DISL. I guess the Sea Lab will start a new search sometime soon. The Sea Lab has been expanding and growing over the past several years, so stable leadership would seem to be necessary for that. I hope it works out well, and my condolences to Scott's family.
