They pay their white expats more, provide them with very low rent housing. They are treated far better than ANY Bermudian. Bermudians would stay if they were treated any where near as well as some of their (white) upper management.

I think you missed the turning buddy, its the one with the sign that says BIOS, not the green place with all the prison officers.

closed? gated? and well-guarded? i’ve been down there a few times for free wednesday tours and never seen any such thing. its actually pretty open, inviting, and welcoming. there is also a diverse community employed there. open your eyes, knucklehead.

Amazing how many people give the Biostation a hard time. We should be so proud of that place and what it has down for BDA and the world over 110 years. It seems to me that most of the Bermudian scientists leave very quickly simply because they can get paid twice as much in the BDA Govt and not have the pressure of having to publish peer reviewed papers or compete for grant money. I know lots of people who have worked there and it is one of the most progressive and inclusive places in Bermuda. It is also one of the largest employers in St. Davids and St. Georges. The Biostation educates almost every Bermudian child about science and our environment in high powered programs that make others look like play school. they even teach our teachers how to teach science. They also monitor Belco, the dumps, incinerator, sewage outfalls, reefs, sea grass, mangroves. And I have it on good authority that the Govt pays for a fraction of the cost!

Dr. Earle made an excellent speech including references to the commercial opportunities for Bermuda with respect to ocean sciences, unfortunately Premier Cox had dozed off during that part of the speech.

“Actually and sadly the photos are a true reflection of the diversity (OR LACK THEREOF) at this institution”.

Are you talking about the PLP Annual Dinner last weekend?

Actually and sadly the photos are a true reflection of the diversity (OR LACK THEREOF) at this institution. There are many people of colour who are interested in ocean sciences but became very discouraged at the closed,gated and well-guarded community at Biostation. These guys are taking full advantage of the location, and duty exemptions.

It might be worth noting that not of those that attended (some 300?) were captured – and only a handful of the photographs that were taken are actually on display here.

e.g.

Did you even READ the article or did you just scan through for faces just so you could make that stupid comment?

How many people that look like Phil that you know are heavily interested and invested in Ocean Sciences?

Think before you make assinine comments.
