Getting ready to go: An Interview with scientist Ludovic Bariteau Before departing for Chile on Feb. 21st, Ludovic said, "I'm feeling great. I'm trying to finish my tax forms before I go because they're going to be due while I'm on the ship. I'm also trying to remember everything I'm going to need: my computer and hard drive, my sunscreen, my survival suit...a lot of different things. I'm definitely going to miss some people here, but overall I'm very excited to be on the ship again."
