In front of the camera, UO geophysicist Dean Livelybrooks gestures to a screen that shows scientists retrieving a device that measures earthquake activity from the ocean floor.
Behind the camera, community college student Jonás Cervantes beams Livelybrooks’ narrative live to 500 people watching from an aquarium theater in Texas. The broadcast is done from the research vessel Atlantis, rolling in waves of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

The UO's Center for Assessment, Statistics and Evaluation (CASE) is seeking campus input to assess the research support needs of faculty and graduate students.
An online survey allows participants to share their research practices and submit preferences for support.
