Today's lecture for intro to marine bio was on #algae, so I gave the kids a chance to try foods containing kelp (salsa, chili krisp, and shortbread cookies), foods with carrageenan (ice cream and chocolate milk), and agar (boba with tapioca pearls)

The animation of the giant moray in #Nautilus. Was pretty good. They included the tube-shaped nostrils extending off the face. Here's a picture -from the URL below - of the real thing

Fossil #shark tooth hunting might be a little more exciting than normal if you have @carylanneejmaier.bsky.social with you; she's the only person I've ever gone with who pulled up a shark tooth on her first scoop of dirt.

The front of my new scuba logbook has a photo of a Tursiops leaping out of the water. I spent way too much time in grad school staring at Tursiops flipper radiographs, so I decided to take some paint markers and decorate the back of the logbook to match.

Hey! My thesis study species was the bottlenose dolphin! I feel thoroughly justified in moving on. They get far more love than they deserve.

"Following...disappearance of white sharks from False Bay, both seals and sevengill sharks have increased in relative abundance, coinciding with declines in small fish that seals feed on and smaller sharks that sevengills prey upon."

That wall shark placement might work in some homes, but I use the wall real estate near and/or above the door for the dinosaur that I decorate for holidays
