WHOI Hosts Governor Baker for June Technology Showcase
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and U.S. Representative Bill Keating recently visited WHOI for a blue economy briefing and technology showcase. Two WHOI Tech Transfer Translational Research Fund awardees took part in the showcase: Ben Vay Mooy, Paul Fucile, and Glenn McDonald's AutoBOD Real-Time Biological Oxygen Demand Sensor and Jim Partan and Keenan Ball's Ropeless Fishing Technology.
Both groups had the opportunity to discuss their technologies with Governor Baker and Representative Keating.
