The summer in north Spain

Go and listen to John!!!

I'm giving a public talk next Wednesday, August 5, on approaches to studying mid-water animals in situ. It will be light on technical details, and more conceptual and a journey to the deep than a regular science talk. Please join if you are interested! #marinelife www.bigelow.org/news/cafe-sc...

I work for BIOS/ASU, but I've been part of @uconn.bsky.social DMS since 2008, first as postdoc, then res. faculty and, once at BIOS, as Adjunct Faculty while collaborating with the now dismantled Bucklin Lab. After 18 years I decided to end my affiliation, ending today. So long, UConn, and thank you

🦞 New (our) paper! 🌊🛰️ A simple trophic transfer index predicts spiny lobster fishery dynamics is now online in Comms Earth & Environment. It started with a practical management question: Why has Bermuda's spiny lobster fishery declined so dramatically over the last decade? doi.org/10.1038/s432...

If you know me (personally, I mean), you know I really like cycling. Now that kiddos are old enough, cycling is getting ever better. SO.MUCH.FUN I think I still have a few years being the stronger rider (I am the boost in long climbs for the youngest)... But not many.

Today during our bike ride the youngest one did a sudden stop since we were close to running over a... Mole cricket!!! Difficult to see in daylight, I am not sure how this guy got to surface! We relocated it into the tall grass... Good luck out there!

Morning walk in the Huergas Formation region, enjoying some cave exploration, fossils from past oceans, interesting plants (pinecone thistle, a new one for me) and the always impressive wolf spider Hogna radiata.

Working from Spain, but taking time to cycle around. A heat wave here is more gentle than the regular summer in Bermuda

Don't let them take it away from you. Happy Fourth of July

Am surprised the SpudCell topic has not blasted here yet. A synthetic cell with a complete cell cycle? And with selection and competition... Pretty interesting. biotic.org/research/spu...
