Biologist Richard "Dick" Backus examines swordfish specimens in his WHOI laboratory, circa 1956. More than five decades later, Backus is still identifying the ocean's bounty of life as a scientist emeritus at WHOI and the curator emeritus of the herbarium at the Marine Biological Laboratory/WHOI Library.
