Aquarium SATURDAY! 🦑🌙
NEAq had its inaugural adults-only Aquarium After Dark event tonight. It was some of the most fun I’ve had there! Tons of great conversations and active animals.

Aquarium Friday! 🦑 Lots of visitors for Tako the giant Pacific octopus today.
DYK: Tako has three hearts and nine brains, and changing colors is exceptionally energetically expensive!

This weekend I got to attend TEDxBoston Planet Action. Very inspiring to hear from so many people trying to fix things.

It’s Aquarium Friday and our sweet girl Pancake (unofficial name) is back on exhibit in the touch tank! 🦑
Unfortunately, in these photos, she’s 100% hidden and completely invisible…

For those curious about our shutdown kitten, who we found in the street days before getting furloughed — he’s back in Boston and doing great!
Someday he’ll learn that I’m not normally home 24/7, but not yet. He might actually be furlough’s biggest fan.

In addition to #GarWeek, it’s also my first week writing to my penpal for this school year through Letters to a Pre-Scientist!
Gar lovers, if you also happen to be a scientist (which I bet many of you are), check out the program at prescientist.org! 🧪

It’s #GarWeek! To kick things off, here are a couple recent photos of me with Yorick, the skull that started it all.
One of my favorite facts to share on the floor is that every alligator gar has a different number of teeth! “How many does that skull have?” I don’t know — start counting 😉

Hurricane #Melissa hit Jamaica's southwest coast yesterday with 185 mph winds. The Category 5 storm is the most powerful to hit #Jamaica since record-keeping began, undergoing rapid intensification fueled by warmer waters before landfall.
Watch it make landfall in the GOES-19 animation below. ⚒️⛈️🌎🛰️🧪

Aquarium Friday! Questions of the week: How many species of shark are there? How well can turtles see? If that fish could talk, what would it say? 🦑
