I do not enjoy having dinner alone that much but... I do need to have dinner! Quiet restaurant, nice food, and walking distance!

The #OSM is done, but we had time to have a lab dinner together - we missed a few members though, but it was great to be all there!

I would not be able to follow a single talk there. I could be days looking at the paintings and the details of the room.

One of the things that I have noticed in this trip to NYC compared to last time I visited (13 years ago) is the proliferation of GOOD coffee shops. Like, really GOOD coffee. I have the cortados (that is a Spanish cafe con leche, not a Spanish cortado) and many are excellent.

The Unicorn.

Finally we had the time to come to see these... Have been wanting to come for many years.

There is a little frog somewhere there, hiding!

Centropages Krøyer, 1849 The genus Centropages is a member of the family Centropagidae within the order Calanoida. This planktonic copepod family is common and widespread globally, inhabiting all oceans, in coastal, neritic and offshore waters. They are predominantly found in the epipelagic zone, spanning a wide latitudinal range in both hemispheres, but they can also be found in the mesopelagic zone. The genus Centropages is characterized by medium sized individuals, with females typically averaging 1.5 mm in length and males slightly smaller. Of the 35 species identified worldwide, 17 species of Centropages have been documented in the ICES area, the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Their geographical distributions are detailed accordingly.This Leaflet is an update of Plankton Identification Leaflet 11 (G.P. Farran, 1948) in which 5 species were included. This new leaflet includes 17 species and is based on the Vervoort (1964) classification and the key taxonomic diagnosis based in Bradford-Grieve et al. (1999), Vives and Shmeleva (2007), Gubanova et al. (2014) and the website on marine planktonic copepods by Razouls et al. (2002–2025).

Another amazing @icesmarine.bsky.social plankton leaflet, this time on Centropages, a copepod genus that I keep in a special corner of my heart. Interesting group for many reasons both in the US and Europe shelf ecosystems!

Europa ICONS inspiring Clipper: Opportunities for Next-Generation Scientists A STEM Internship for Undergraduate Students The Europa ICONS program will pair Europa Clipper science team members with undergraduate students for a 10-week research experience during which the students will perform original scientific research. Internships may be in person at a Europa Clipper science team member's institution, virtual, or hybrid, depending on the research project and individual needs of the intern and mentor. Mentors and interns will convene July 28-30, 2026 for a mini conference at the University of Colorado, Boulder, to build relationships and to present the work completed over the summer. Interns will get a $12,000 stipend; travel costs to CU will be paid for by NASA. For in-person interns, NASA will pay up to $1,000 for relocation and provide a housing stipend. Apply via stemgateway.nasa.gov. Search for "Europa ICONS" to see projects available. Applications are due February 27, 2026. Questions? Contact Jeff Moore, Europa ICONS Program Science Coordinator HQ-EuropaICONS@mail.nasa.gov.

Amazing internship opportunity for young scientists!
