And when you choose a life partner, you’re choosing a lot of things, including your parenting partner and someone who will deeply influence your children, your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 100 vacations, your primary leisure time and retirement friend, your career therapist, and someone whose day you’ll hear about 18,000 times.

octo-love

Whats my favorite animal? Octopus.

Like holy tentacles. This majestic beast is amazing.

An octopus brain as a single discrete organ is somewhat misleading. The bulk of their neurons actually cluster in their arms, which possess a form of short-term memory and can clutch and grasp even after being surgically removed. This distributed neural intelligence is highly unusual, and it blurs the standard boundaries between mind and body. The arms of an octopus are not only appendages controlled by a central command center; they are also semi-autonomous units that can explore, move, perceive and remember.

Fellowship

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your fins.

I am currently holding the Education Fellowship position hear at the SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska. We are strong leaders in this community and are pointing the way for future generations. Conservation is our mission, and we eat, drink, and breath this mission every morning. Not only are we teaching kids, we are giving them hands on experience like dissecting squid, forming clay tufted puffins, discussing how these animals communicate to one another (no they do not bark), and even scavenging through (clean!) Steller sea lion feces. These are a few of our core Programs here that we give to groups that come in, and on some occasions the groups stay overnight in the facility and we give another program in the morning before they leave. These are called Nocturnes, and I think they are so special because they remind me of when I had sleepovers with my school at various locations and how exciting it all was!

My team consists of 5 members, and we are the Education Department! We are fabulous, if I do say so myself.. We come from all around the country, none of us actually being from Seward. 

The SeaLife Center is a non-profit organization built on conservation and research, and one of the biggest projects this facility focuses on are the after effects of the Exxon Oil spill that happened in Valdez, Alaska in 1989. A long term research plan was put in place called the Gulf Watch, where monitoring and sampling are a huge part of ensuring the coastal ecosystem stays viable and continues supporting sea life in those areas.
