Thanks @flamholz.bsky.social !!! It was amazing and enriching to visit, and learn about the amazing science @rockefeller.edu.

Was great to host @deepakkrish.bsky.social at @rockefeller.edu this week. Thanks for the conversation and phenomenal talk.

This was a great talk, so interesting !

Super excited to be speaking at ASCB tomorrow at the "Cell Biology at the Extremes" session on our work on loricate choanoflagellates. In this talk I will explore "How can a single cell build complex extracellular structures in a noisy environment?" Saturday, December 6 from 11 AM Room 120.

Liking this Oceanography feed and getting five others to like it will bring you good luck. 🍀

This story highlights the ever-present tension between the way of "observation" (you can learn a lot by just watching) and "measurement" (which invokes in some sense a perturbation of what is measured)... But, why should one choose? To me as a scientist, there is joy and power in both approaches!

This video (linked in the above blog as well) from Mary Silver is also fascinating

This is a great read on the history of "marine snow": the ubiquitous underwater phenomenon, which Rachel Carson called "the most stupendous snow fall on earth". This constant rain of biological debris is critical in the ocean's ability to sequester carbon. www.nature.com/scitable/blo...

Thanks to @schmidtfellows.bsky.social for this amazing opportunity to share my science and my sense of wonder about our oceans. This ended up being a fantastic learning experience.
