Take a deep breath and come see what spectacular animals can be found in the south coast fjords of Newfoundland! We finished up a week of biodiversity surveys with guidance from Miawpukek First Nation’s marine guardians and documented some fantastic species!

Five months after two surgeries totalling 22 hours, here I am back at one of my favourite activities: studying whales in Newfoundland! (drone use - thanks for flying Greg! - and imagery collected with permits to DFO)

turns out when you're a bit of hard substrate in the middle of a large stretch of soft sediment you become extremely popular: @ROPOS_ROV #CroCHeTcruise

Guys, I started working at the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. Today is my first day. Eight hours ago, I pushed major code to production. I am so proud of myself. I am going now home. I feel something really good is coming my way tomorrow morning at work 🥰🧑🏻💻

It was a really nice treat to find a king ragworm (Alitta sp.) on our Friday survey! Usually buried under sediment, these magnificent worms are rarely seen in the water unless they’re spawning… pictured 😅 still envious of my job??

Happy Deep-sea Day. This is my new favourite coral. We found it during our last expedition in Costa Rican waters. Thanks to National Geographic @SchmidtOcean and @4DOceansLab for the support. It took a massive effort and preparation, but it was worth it. https://t.co/IM1JtriJvA

I got to witness something truly spectacular last night. The annual elver migration, where baby eel (elver) leave the ocean and enter the river they’ll grow up in. It was pretty special to watch.

International scientists may have discovered more than 100 new species living on seamounts off the coast of Chile. The recent expedition resulted in identifying deep-sea corals, glass sponges, sea urchins, amphipods & other species likely new to science. https://t.co/hrZt67MX73

Overpublishing puts enormous stress on students and PIs. And brings tons of money to publishers in STEM. A new study shows that the number of papers is increasing FASTER than the number of #PhD graduates. It’s an amazing work with very useful statistics. Huge kudos to the
