Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

Although, really, it is hard to beat this one which.... also didn't make it. But should have won. It's even got our state dinosaur!

Disappointed these did not make it to round 2 of our MA state flag competition.

I love my early morning international GOOS (global ocean observing system) meetings, but, my cats like to mock the fact that they're so early by falling asleep extravagantly on the couch next to me.

I’m Jarrett. I run the Coastal Ecology for a Living Planet lab at UMass Boston where a lot of our focus is on kelp forests and urban marine ecosystems.

Also got this casual photo of two icons of #kelp forest ecology in front of the kelp forest tank! #itrs2025

Thanks to the organizers for an absolutely amazing #ITRS2025! It was a highlight to bring my students and watch them connect to the larger temperate reef science world! My heart is full, and I cannot wait for NZ!

Great passel of posters from the lab at #ITRS2025 - from #kelp to #crusts to living Seawalls! @stonelivinglab.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social

Nice work Melba, Daniel, @lexiwilkes.bsky.social, and @crustisrmorris.bsky.social!

Look at that growth! 6 months in and these #LivingSeawalls are rocking it! Who knows what lies beneath that mat of green algae.... @stonelivinglab.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social

I mean, look at these adorable acoels that have cracked open diatoms, sucked out their insides, and then use them to photosynthesize!
