I really enjoy what I do and feel privileged to see the sights I have seen in my tenure as a marine biologist. A lot of the information we, as scientists, have is not known to the general public, (of which fund our research through their taxes). Nor will it ever be! So much of science is locked away in journals that most of the public either cannot access or don't understand the basic vocabulary that scientists use. I hate the word blog, its an ugly word. I feel what DSN does is report the latest happenings in the science of the deep, whether it is reporting on the latest research developments, highlighting the fantastic and unusual fauna, debunking myths or unfounded claims or relaying information about current events (such as research expeditions). Also, people that know me know I can't shut up and fervently engage in the ancient art of speculation. For me, it is to convey the vast diversity of life in the deep sea to the public.
