To stay warm I’ve been burning, well, everything.
This bowl of peanuts is to feed our ever-hungry teenage boys. The shells go straight into the fireplace. I hover over the tiny burning pile and -like Gollum & the ring- proclaim the orange flames and accompanying ounce of warmth to be my precious.

If anyone wants to listen to my artist talk on plankton painting moderated by @pgirguis.bsky.social it’s up here :) youtu.be/66F5FQskmW0?... #sciart #microscopy

I’ll keep looking around and let you know if I see anything.

Hey there,

I “think” I used to buy it from Cambridge Isotope labs but I don’t see it in their inventory anymore.

That price you’re being quoted is bananas but I haven’t bought labeled chitin since pre pandemic days (the salad days, as they say). :-)

I am not on social media much these days (too many fires at work), but showing up and seeing Dr. Parcak’s take-no-prisoners posts reminds me that the stars are still burning, the Earth is still spinning, and Sarah is still dropping mics on BlueSky. 😂

Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words. They still do produce a variety of programmes including documentaries and podcasts.

If all goes as planned I should be back on again in February telling more tales from the deep sea but with a twist. 😉

Interview: Extremophiles, the Deep Sea, and Alien Life with Peter Girguis Dive into how Earth’s weirdest microbes could help us spot extraterrestrial life with marine biologist Peter Girguis.

I had a fantastic time chatting with Hakeem Oluseyi on PBS NOVA’s “Particles of Thought” podcast. Check
It out if you’re interested in hearing us talk about our backgrounds, science, and society.

Thanks @pbs.org !

A new museum exhibit that highlights creatures in the deep sea - The World from PRX The "Sea Monsters: Wonders of Nature and Imagination" exhibit at Harvard University's Museum of Natural History looks at creatures deep beneath the sea.

I had the pleasure of talking with Carolyn Beeler from @theworld.org about our "Sea Monsters" exhibit at @harvardmuseums.bsky.social

If you all want to hear about sea monsters -real and imaginary- click below.

Thanks again, Carolyn and Hannah, for having me on your show! Stay monstrous y'all.

In the 18th century Francisco Goya produced a series of etchings called Los Caprichos, which satirized the political, social, and religious abuses of his era. One of my faves is this: "El sueño de la razón produce monstruos" (The sleep of reason produces monsters).

Nowhere close to coming to fruition. I think one of the biggest structural impediment is that most nations will not allow their funds to be used to support for national investigators. In other words, I cannot use US research dollars to support colleagues in Tonga or in Ghana. Vice versa is also true

Hi there

If I could magically bring one thing to fruition, it would be creating a genuinely collaborative international research fleet that could generate the much needed baseline data that would allow all nations to make informed decisions about their policies. Without that, we are flying blind.

Thank you for reaching out to me. It’s always a pleasure to talk about the amazing creatures of the deep!

Thanks to Hao Wang for telling me more about his team’s new paper and to Peter Girguis (@pgirguis.bsky.social) for providing some helpful context!

It was also great working with @michaelroston.bsky.social again

Assuming it still fits, which…well…

So I literally just found my favorite shirt, which I wore only for special occasions

😂😂😂

What happened to your vintage 1980s phone skills, good sir?

They are a more elegant means of communication for a more civilized time.

I absolutely CHERISH those moments, Katy!

Listen up, younguns, the telephone was designed with a ringer that you can set to high or low. This was, wait for it, by design so you could decide if you wanted to hear an incoming call or not. I’m not sure of this “violation “ of which you speak. 😂

Well done.👍🏼

Thank you, Derek!

Thank you very much, Dr. Bik.

Humanity depends on the ocean — Here is what we need to prioritize for immediate ocean science research Global ocean research needs to shift priorities to ensure the health and well-being of our oceans, and by extension, humanity.

I'm pleased to share this article written by co-authors & me.

Riffing off our recent decadal survey, we discuss humanity's relationship with the ocean & why immediate action is needed to protect us all. Enjoy! @whoi.edu @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social

It’s nice enough, but the elementary school isn’t so hot.

Maybe I’ll have my boys home schooled in the jungle room.;-)

This is easily one of my FAVE paintings, especially when paired with Chagall's "Adam and Eve expelled from Paradise"
