If you are still searching for your passion, don’t give up! Horst had to search high and low, literally, before he found his. From the sky to the sea, and everything in between, there is always something waiting to be discovered!

Like many scientists, Horst’s scientific journey has taken many twists and turns. From thinking he wanted to study the blinking spots in the sky, to finding his place studying color-changing pixels on cephalopod skin, Horst has taken on every opportunity he could to find what felt right.

Science Friday @scifri.bsky.social · 28d

When marine biologist Cherisse Du Preez sent an underwater drone to explore a methane seep on the ocean floor, she expected to find tubeworms. Instead, she stumbled upon an army of octo-moms. 🐙

Indigenous and Western scientists are working together to uncover biodiversity in the icy deep. They're getting some eight-armed help.

We kicked off @scifri.bsky.social #cephalopodweek yesterday with @invertebabe.bsky.social! We will be sharing ceph scientist stories all week, but first: who are our cephalopods, and why study them?

Thank you!!
That is awesome, we love getting local names out there and highlighting art alongside science! We have some projects in the work that are doing exactly that, but we haven't thought about how we could collaborate with musicians (yet). Love that idea

We have a new project: Made in Your Community!

With support from @skypeascientist.bsky.social , we’re creating beautiful double-sided cards that feature local scientists and their work — all placed in local cafes, breweries, and community spaces.

We want to get your thoughts 💭💭💭💭💭

🤔 What art 🎨 and marine science 🌊 topics would you want to learn about from experts ❓❓

🔊Ask yourself: If there were a marine scientist or artist in front of me, what would I want to know?

Thinking about pursuing marine biology? 🌊🐚

Here are a few things I wish I knew earlier — especially as someone who didn’t grow up near the ocean! 🩵

💡Remember: the ocean is for everyone, and you can be the representation you want to see!
