On a good day you will find me with my dog, reading a book, working in my yard or trying a new recipe. Preferably ending the day with a glass of red wine/ Very blue in the deep red/ South Florida 📚🌱🌊

Still my favourite strand line discovery to date - a female Phronima sedentaria (‘monster in a barrel’) - Isles of Scilly, October 2023!

An amphipod crustacean, she parasitises salps, devouring them from the inside, forming a vessel to raise her young 👽

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!

Happy Thanksgiving.
On this day of thanks, we applaud all who work to protect and sustain the land and nature. Here’s a short clip from THE AMERICAN BUFFALO that celebrates the land we inhabit.

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

All kinds of serenity at sunset after a passing thunderstorm. I love the stillness after a storm and the natural smell of the air. Like the planet's paused - just for a second.

A heart cockle shell has been found to let in light through a design that resembles fiber optic cables. This could inspire everything from helping coral survive to designing new camera lenses.

One Pam Bondi story that stuck with me was the time she convinced the governor to reschedule an execution so she could attend a campaign fundraiser

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

Good news for once!

We’ve found a 300-year-old coral that’s so big it’s visible from space. It’s now considered the world’s largest. Best of all: it’s not yet harmed by climate change & global warming.

It’s being called a beacon of hope. Let it also be a call to action! #DoSomething 🧵
