A Note About Unionization Efforts for WHOI JP Students
The Through the Porthole team acknowledges and supports the efforts of the WHOI Graduate Student Union to form a union that protects all graduate workers.

Graduate student fellows contributed equally to this issue, and all issues, of Through the Porthole, and deserve the same protections as graduate research assistants and graduate teaching assistants.
