"Art is a way that I process information, relax & communicate science to others. In trying to draw a scene, habitat, plant, or animal, I have to look closely at the details. This is a great way to engage students too." - educator Beverly Owens, NBCT #ExplorerMindset 🎨 Beverly Owens

Despite a global IT outage, Category 4 typhoon, and several false starts, I was thankful to get back to Iriomote-jima, Japan, working with colleagues MISE-Lab Lab Naruse to deploy National Geographic Society supported deep sea cameras and Jim Wilder supported #eDNA on #mesophotic coral reefs.

While our primary focus of the mission was to audit biodiversity across the marine “Tree of Life” in these rarely surveyed mesophotic ecosystems, we were not expecting to see such extensive coral bleaching due to elevated water temperatures well below 50 metres depth!!! 😟
