A beautiful end to an amazing day. We did long lines and drum lines and caught so many sharks! Couldn't ask for more.

Long day catching sharks! We got four nurse sharks on our first day on our shark research field trip! Hopefully I won't hit my head too many times on my bunk tonight.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

I usually like to put pictures of the lizards I'm working on in my presentations, but I think I might get a code of conduct violation for showing Monopeltis.

Getting ready to start the journey back home after 3 weeks away, half for fun, half for work (which was also very fun). I’ll miss being in a place as biodiverse as Okinawa.
Not looking forward to what I’m returning to federally, but on the bright side I should have some positive news to share soon…

I think science communicators really need to get away from the "survival of the fittest slogan" when realistically it is the survival of the good enough and lucky. Some really niche and interesting adaptations have come from the million years of tweaking happening but so much of life is eh it works.
