1965 in the FSU Biological Science History project
In 1965, Dr. Robert B. Short and graduate student Ed Powell participated in an oceanographic cruise to New Zealand and Antarctic waters to study dicyemid mesozoan parasites of octopods, hitherto unreported from that region. The two examined 40 octopuses captured over a two-week period, and found several new and undescribed dicyemid species. After this project, Dr. Short's research turned away from dicyemids for many years, focusing instead on parasites of humans, but after his retirement from the department in 1990, Dr. Short returned to the dicyemids and published a 1991 monograph on the subject (see "1991, Publications").
The Conradi Building greenhouse was put into service in 1965.
