ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT YOUR SPRING WARDROBE YET?? avatar

…BECAUSE I AM!!! Yes, I am yelling this from the mountaintops: I cannot wait to shed my drab winter wardrobe and move on to Spring/Summer 2012 collections. Finally, my fashion obsession is perfectly appropriate for a blog post at #DeepSN. This season the runways were flooded (ha!) with ocean-themed prints and marine-inspired design: Coral Reef . . . → Read More: ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT YOUR SPRING WARDROBE YET??

Jane Lubchenco’s message to scientists avatar

My second week at UC Davis, and I’ve already met Jane Lubchenco. Last night the NOAA administrator gave a public lecture to a packed auditorium here on campus.

While I do not support all those groups personally, I would like to add Oceana and The Coral Reef Alliance as conservation groups who have a high . . . → Read More: TGIF – Our Blue (The Tank Bangers)

Under the Sea at Paris Fashion Week S/S 2012 avatar

I am drooling so much, I am going to have to cover my keyboard in plastic. Winter wardrobes always depress me (too many layers, so much black), but this year I CANNOT WAIT to wear Spring fashion.  Its Paris Fashion Week right now (I am probably the only marine biologist that trawls the Vogue website . . . → Read More: Under the Sea at Paris Fashion Week S/S 2012

In looking over Swimming With Sharks, I came across this video of Sea Shepard ramming a Japanese whaling ship.  Appalled is the best word I can think of to describe my reaction.  I am no whale hugger (Give me invertebrates or give me death!) but of course those big charismatic megafauna are worthy of . . . → Read More: Sea Shepard: Only Making Matters Worse
