Alligator Waters
i often fail to update this blog regularly or respond to things in a timely manner due to the way i am as a person but! doing it now.
just wanted to express that it was very sweet of everyone to ask about my research when i was complaining about the kelp carbon sequestration "industry". i appreciated that ppl thought it was cool and wanted to hear about it! i just wanted to clarify though that this isn't something that genuinely upsets me, i just enjoy expressing things dramatically and being a little hater because it's fun. the actual reason i don't share my research on this blog is for privacy - phycology is a very small field, and posting the specifics of my research would basically be equivalent to posting my name. this isn't something I'm worried will realistically be an actual problem per say, but i do prefer to keep my social media and my professional life as separate as possible just in case
today, i offer you a little kelp crab. tomorrow? who knows
fumbled and took a slow mo video while trying to get a pic of this crab last time we were out collecting and accidentally created a crab fancam
[video ID: A large dungeness crab in shallow water at night, lit by the flash above. It's just sitting there as the waves wash over it. the video then goes slow mo briefly, before snapping back /end ID]
"this website has been blocked by [university]" well if you didn't want me to use sci hub then maybe you should have thought about getting a subscription to the journal. how about that.
this blog is a safe space for gumboot chitons and their allies

[Video Description:
A purple sea urchin clings to the side of a light blue sea table, just below the surface of the water. It is surrounded by pieces of light brown giant kelp blades, which it is eating. Its tube feet and spines are waving around slightly as bubbles float by on the surface. There is no audio except for the quiet gurgling of the water.
