From my good friend Gary Huntzinger, a photo of the 'Blc Pamela Hetherington' Coronation orchid. I was amazed by the beauty of the flower. Here it is for everyone here to enjoy.

The moon, eternal sentinel of the skies, draws the tides with a gentle pull, whispering to the oceans and steadying Earth in her graceful spin—her presence the quiet architect of seasons, balance, and time. A magnificent moment.

Time to play spot-the-dog (the real dog who was barking enthusiastically as I walked past, not the ornamental dog which is also in the picture).

In the field with @burnsajohn.bsky.social and @andrewilloughb.bsky.social. We found our first photosynthetic Paulinella cell of the day! Only took 4 hours to find 🥴. Now isolating this and the other few we’ve found since! Very very hard, tedious work but we are in good spirits.

Happy to be in Punta Cana, DR to work with our wonderful colleagues here at the Marine Innovation Hub on coral disease and resilience and the Sargassum problem.
