⚠️ CALLING ALL HANDS FOR A BAD MARINE SCIENCE MOVIE NIGHT⚠️ MARCH 23 @ 6PM

Have you ever wondered:

1) what would happen if we could genetically modify white shark brain tissue to cure Alzeheimer's?
2) wouldn’t it be amazing to see Samuel L. Jackson the leading scientist of said research? And even better what if LL Cool J and Stellan Skarsgård were there with him?
3) and most importantly, what would these celebrities do when these genetically modified white sharks become TOO smart??

If you answered any of these questions than JOIN US MARCH 23 @ 6PM in W1 for a special screening of Deep Blue Sea!

No RSVP required!! All majors are welcomed and we cannot wait to see you there!
It’s gonna be jaw-esome 🦈🦈🦈

We're excited to invite you to this month's MOPportunities on Thursday (3/9) at 6pm in the MOP office. This time, we'll be doing tie dyeing and screen printing your own MOP gear! 👕

This was a favorite from last semester, and we're excited to bring it back! Bring a shirt (or other article of clothing) that you'd like to add the MOP logo to and tie dye, so you can make your own custom MOP merch! We will have white and blue for the logos, and lots of colors for tie dyeing, so you can be creative! ☀

Pictured above is an example (a few examples) of what a screen printed logo looks like on a white t shirt. Feel free to bring whatever color shirt/ pants/ hat ect. You would like!

As always, no need to RSVP, but if you have any questions feel free to email [email protected]🐙🦐🦞🦀🐳🐟🐠🐡
