I don't know about others, but for me: it's rare that I can focus on one creative or academic project at the same time.

Everything always seems to happen at once.

Several firefly squids (Watasenia scintillans) swimming in the dark. It is too dark to see their bodies except for their glowing blue photophores which cover their whole body.

Firefly squids (Watasenia scintillans) have an absolutely stunning display of bioluminescence. Their bodies are covered in blue and green photophores.

They are also the only squid species known to have colour vision.

Once in a while, I go into a meeting with an instructor I haven't met before, and I notice they have a fancy pen, and they notice I have a fancy pen, and when the meeting is over we both go, "So, I noticed your pen—" and it's the best every time.
