🧪A fun bluesci-y throwback: deep-sea research off the CA coast w/ MBARI, R/V Western Flyer, and ROV Doc Ricketts. Benthic ecology, deep-sea coral transplantation, observations of particle flow using fluorescent dye, & more! Photos mostly from ~850m, but the ROV hit 3,000+ m during this expedition!🪸

Another day, another Anna’s hummingbird shot! I’m so going to miss evenings on my balcony in the PNW watching/photographing these beauties.

🧪A lil crab photographed while exploring the tidepools of Point Lobos SNR in California a while back! Possibly Pachygrapsus crassipes, but carcinology folks please tap in (my tidepooling ID skills need work). Love the abalone-y vibes of that colorful underside 🎨🦀

A purple/res crab sits hidden in a crevice between rocks. Its underside has vibrant greens, blues, and purples.

🧪Bluesci friends, I finish the day with some very serious and scientific business: three cheetahs taking a synchronized poop in Maasai Mara, Kenya. Friends that 💩 together, stay together ❤️

Three cheetahs stand together on top of a grassy hill. All three are in a deep squat as if taking a bathroom break.

🧪🧵Throwing it back to more science from my past with a quick thread on some of the questions being examined in a cool field... phocid bioacoustics aka the science of seal sounds! 🦭🔊 What are some of the questions researchers are asking about how seals communicate vocally? ⤵️ 1/6
