Last year we published the longest post in the more than 17 year history of our science blog.

It contains a panel of experts (including me) responding to nearly 50 common questions that people have about marine biology career advice.

I have to tell you something! I joined an Acadian women’s chorale at UdeM. Some have been singing under Monique Richard's direction for decades & it’s SO FUN. Many chic, eccentric eyeglasses frames! Plus, I'm learning French storytelling tricks like yelling “QUOAA?!” when something is wild!

Today I feel like going with deep-sea textures. How about bumpy (bumpy snailfish) + gelatinous (sea slug) + spiny (spiny king crab) + fuzzy (yeti crab) #marinelife

Some folks say deep-sea fish aren’t cute. I dare you to look at this bumpy snailfish and not say “aww.” Try it. I dare you.

Pals, nearly everytime that I'm at the airport I see my friend's ex husband, I've known her since grade 8 and I even went to their wedding. He works here, they just announced his name and that it's his birthday. I can't believe that somehow I'm still bumping into him and his life!

On Truth and Reconciliation Day, the Houston government prepares to criminalize Indigenous land protectors

reported by me
On Truth and Reconciliation Day, the Houston government prepares to criminalize Indigenous land protectors - Halifax Examiner

I avoid walking under trees or power lines where I see guano on the ground. I yell "no pooping" at flocks overhead. Working at sea - let's just say I have taken a few disgusting hits....
Getting out of the car at the gym, it happened, gulls, a wet wack to the side of my head.
