The Node Time Machine – August 2010

Posted by Joyce Yu, on 27 August 2025

At the end of each month, I pick the same month from a random year from the past 15 years of the Node, and take a look at what people were talking about back then.

Previously, I’ve been busy travelling back to February 2011, March 2013, April 2014, May 2016, June 2013 and July 2013.

After so much travelling, my time machine is getting a bit unpredictable… in case I accidentally get stuck in the past, I’m afraid this post will be the very last time I’ll be time travelling. What a journey it’s been! If you’d like to do some time travelling yourself, you can do so using the Node’s search and filter function.

Of whales and lice

Many students of the course have written about their experiences, and I’m always very jealous because the course looks so much fun! Read the posts: https://thenode.biologists.com/tag/woods-hole/
