[Biocomplexity] Last Call for Registrations for "Extreme 2004: Exploring the Deep Frontier"

[Tracey Bryant]

The deadline for registering for "Extreme 2004: Exploring the Deep 
Frontier" is Friday, September 10. So far, more than 500 middle- and 
high-school classrooms around the world have signed up for this on-line 
expedition to hydrothermal vents in the Pacific Ocean, which will run 
from November 30 to December 20.
 
Join marine scientists as they work in one of the most extreme 
environments on the planet in their quest to learn more about the 
Pompeii worm and the "fleece" of bacteria that live right on its back. 
The worm is able to withstand temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). The 
award-winning program is hosted by the University of Delaware College of 
Marine Studies with support from the National Science Foundation, NOAA 
Sea Grant, and WHYY-TV (PBS).
