Lionfish at the Birch Aquarium of our Scripps Institution of Oceanography, here at the University of California, San Diego. Very beautiful and very venomous.

Always a treat to visit Birch, a special place that exemplifies SIO/UCSD's public educational outreach.

A visit to the University of Lausanne (UNIL) allowed me to drop in on my close colleague and former sabbatical professor Jan-Willem Veening's lab in the Department of Fundamental Microbiology, Biophore Building.

The view is not too bad!

Great Egret (Ardea alba) in same spot that I saw blue heron last week. These guys are 3 feet tall with 5 foot wingspan but only weigh 2.5 to 3 pounds. Pure biological efficiency. #birds 🪶

Celebratory lab luncheon for Hervé Besançon, who completed his SNSF 🇨🇭 postdoc with us here in La Jolla. In addition to his good cheer and Swiss panache, he made fantastic contributions to our nanovaccine studies

Expert by birthright, Hervé taught proper fondue technique at the chocolate fountain

like the (often unfair) stereotype of southern californians, these quail on our backyard planter seem pretty superficial and focused on their appearance—just preening and chirping, preening and chirping

The most abundant birds in our backyard are beautiful mourning doves (Zenaida macroura), which are monogamous and mate for life.

Fun fact: Both male and female mourning doves produce a nutritious, high-protein secretion known as "crop milk," to feed their young for the first few days of life.
