Returning to plug a new paper by me and Anela Choy in which we review life in the ocean's deep water-column. annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.114…
The editor kindly let us go over-length, but we still couldn't fit all the great research done by the deep-sea community.

Any recommendations for Spanish-language “fundamentals of data viz” using #rstats ?

Welcome home to Monterey Western Flyer!!

If you are in the SF Bay area, tonight (Friday) at 7pm I’ll be giving a family friendly talk about marine bioluminescence and fluorescence at the Chabot Space & Science Center.

Your style is great, but almost every #dragonfish pictured online has been net-caught, with head and jaw nearly ripped off. In life, they look more like you'd expect. #SundayFishSketch

Recent PhD interested in deep-sea ecology, genomics, biochemistry, or bioluminescence? Apply for a postdoctoral fellowship at MBARI. Check out the sponsor list & e-mail me to discuss projects hosted by my lab. Grad student position opening soon too.

This was weird to notice: two accomplished Ell* Mackays in my network. Elly MacKay Ellie Mackay

Sorry for my frustrated tone, but this has to be one of the worst science books of all time. 🌊 I took myself off as content advisor when they insisted on mixing pictures of bioluminescent, fluorescent, and iridescent animals next to one caption. Tiny author note at end… 😢

Congratulations Manabu. I have always wondered about springtail #bioluminescence relative to other insects. It’s great you and the team are working on it. I’ve only seen them on snow by the hundreds, looking like sprinkled pepper. Wonder what it is used for?

Susan Casey (Susan Casey) traversed all my emotions about the Titan sub failure in this deep dive for Vanity Fair. Great writing!

“Kids these days” don’t know how good they have it with presentations. Found some old slides where I cut colored transparencies and sandwich them behind high-contrast negatives to make colored projections. Now I’m usually fiddling with Keynote late the night before my talk!

I’m afraid this is nothing so intentional — just a deep-sea animal that has not experienced so many photons. We called Marrus claudanielis the Exploding Red Siph before describing it. Isolated pieces of stem will contract violently under bright light. marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=so…

I'm excited to see other companies finally update their tacky logos...

Thanks! Beautiful work :^)
Here are some #cephalopods for you as well.

But... they assured us 'The team also carefully monitored for any impact on the surrounding environment, prior, during, and following the excavation of the crust to rule out any serious environmental impact.'
*Such* a surprise...! jogmec.go.jp/english/news/r…

Another great project and a group of folks I have been so fortunate with which to work. It may just be that sexual selection has played a role in the diversity of dragonfishes…. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

This is Nebaliopsis, a leptostracan... They're their 'own thing' among crustaceans. Very speedy.
