Last week, I had the honour of being one of thirty National Geographic Explorers invited to Ottawa for the NGS Leadership Workshop and Spotlight. A powerful and moving experience where we shared our journeys on stage at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Very thankful 💙🪸🌊 #NationalGeographic

It was wonderful to present at the 17DSBS. I love to talk about this project as I hope it helps to raise awareness about the threat that climate change represents to the deep sea of MPA like the Galapagos and Isla del Coco @dsbsoc.bsky.social. it was a happy birthday 🎂 🪸😊

Flying from Chengdu to Hong Kong to present at the 17thDSBS after seeing pandas 🐼🐙🐙 🤩, can this get better? @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Life brings cool surprises, like this curious skate who DECIDED to turn around and explore ROV SuBastian 😊. Have a new year full of good surprises🍾 🌊!
This happened while we explored hydrothermal vents in the Pacific on my second expedition aboard R/V Falkor (too).
