Smooth Sailing and the Craving for Cuddle Time (Marine Biology Journal 2010)

April 2nd – Day 1My mother and I journeyed to East Hills Library in the pitch black of the early morning. Erica was there to say goodbye to me and talk to Maddie and Corvette. I held her for a bit, clinging on to her for the last time I would have my arms around her until we returned. I hopped in Corvette’s mom’s car and we listened to music as we ventured to KCI. Once all the baggage was out of the way, we sat around in the airport, bored to death. My books held no interest at that time. We…See More

Looe Key Sanctuary

This is a collaborative group of three students working to create a set of content documents and teaching "conversations" for a ~15 minute on-boat lesson during the week long field study in the Florida Keys.

The Enraptured Weaving

I don’t want you to think that all I’m going to do is complain, but one thing I have to say is that as I read this, I couldn’t help but space off. It was full of thousands of facts that just bore me out of my mind at points. To me, this seemed strange, because I’m the kind of person who loves to learn things. The more I learn, the more intrigued I get, or at least that’s how it normally is.



Maybe, it’s that I really have no connection to this book yet, other than the fact that I am… Continue

Slideshow

I just recently finished up my slideshow on my computer and it's pretty beastly . . . no lie, but I just realized upon uploading it to slideshare.net that Slideshare doesn't do any of the click for the next group or timing effects. This is bothering me, because one of the reasons my slide is so beastly is because of a huge timing related thing that took me forever to do. Warning: It's also kind of nerdy, but I like it, thereby making me a nerd.

Loving the Bahamas!

I have known that I wanted to this program for a long time now. My brother did it back in 2003. I saw how much fun he was having learning the fish and then going out on the sail boats and seeing them in person. I saw what he brought back from the trip and it all sounded like so much fun i just had to try and go. So here I am! I took the class and went on the trip.Day 1 I couldn't sleep, I had to be up at 4:30 in the morning so we could meet at the library and and be at the air port around 6:20…See More

Time of my life!

Plane ride to Andros     My group got here 2nd and right once we got to Forefar we ate lunch and then got in the water.  I was ready to get right in and I saw so many fish.  Shelby Mills and I went snorkeling together.  The first fish we saw was a Beaugregory Juvenile.   Then we saw a sea slug.  It had orange and blue stripes going down its back.  Then we also saw an adult Beaugregory.  The next fish was a cocoa Damselfish.  This fish has a blue color on top ends and a dark spot on the upper…See More

Aye, Mon! (a.k.a. My Bahamian Experience/Greatest Week of 2013)

Where do I even begin? Or better rephrased, how do I start telling the tale of the most intriguing adventure I've ever gone on in my short 17 years of life? The most obvious answer would be to start with Day 1, which is only logical, but once you've started reading my account, I think you'll understand why I didn't know where to begin. Day 1- Friday, March 21st, Saint Joseph to Ft. Lauderdale Boy, I definitely wished I was a morning person that day. We met at a parking lot at East Hill's mall…See More

The Bahamian Experience

Everything about the Bahamas was pretty much perfect. The weather, the people, the lifestyle, the water, the air, the night sky, and the people. Did I say people twice? Heck yes I did because the people truly were some of the coolest people ever.They were some of the most down to earth and friendly people I have ever met. There was even a statue of a pair of hands shaking to really reinforce the fact that they were very friendly people.The first day that we spent on the island I played some…See More

Under the Sun-2013

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013Yesterday we arrived at Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to begin our adventure miles from home. Around 12:30 PM, 7 of us loaded a small plane with a pilot named Eddie (I got to be co-pilot!) and we set flight over the ocean. The ocean is simply breathtaking and magnificent. Looking the 5,000 feet down to the shades of blue wasn't full of much to look at but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I was looking for something to strike my eye, to jump out of the water...SOMETHING!…See More

Social thoughts from an ecologist

In the past, I would have categorized myself pretty much as a hard-core-Darwin-loving-Greenpeace ecologist...let's save the environment by creating marine reserves, no-take zones, and sanctuaries. We'll limit fishing in most areas and give the living marine resources a chance to recover even if it takes decades. Why can't people see what they are doing to the environment and do something to stop it? A lot of my views have gotten a rude awakening recently...I think it's hard for many of us to…See More

Why we need to put the fish back into fisheries

Overfishing has reduced fish populations and biodiversity across much of the world’s oceans. In response, fisheries are increasingly reliant on a handful of highly valuable shellfish. However, new research shows this approach to be extremely risky. 

New era of fisheries policy needed to secure nutrition for millions

A new study argues that for fisheries policies to be effective they must take in to account not just fish stock conservation and environmental issues, but also research data on the patterns and dynamics of fish trade, markets and user consumption.

Coral reef fishes prove invaluable in the study of evolutionary ecology

Coral reef fish species have proven invaluable for experimental testing of key concepts in social evolution and already have yielded insights about the ultimate reasons for female reproductive suppression, group living, and bidirectional sex change.

Paleontology: The eloquence of otoliths seen in a 23-million-year-old fish fossil

Fish fossils that are about 23 million years old give unprecedented insight into the evolutionary history of the gobioid order, one of the most species-rich groups among the modern bony fishes.

Actor Johnny Depp immortalized in name of fossilized creature with 'scissor hand' claws

A scientist has discovered an ancient extinct creature with 'scissor hand-like' claws in fossil records and has named it in honor of his favourite movie star. The 505-million-year-old fossil called Kooteninchela deppi, which is a distant ancestor of lobsters and scorpions, was named after the actor Johnny Depp for his starring role as Edward Scissorhands -- a movie about an artificial man named Edward, an unfinished creation, who has scissors for hands.
