Time to Glow Up
It has taken a few months, and a conversation with the head of the HR department at the University, but I am finally recovering from the most toxic, unprofessional, and discriminatory workplace that I have ever had to endure for longer than 1 month.

Photos from my sea expedition (part 1)
I started my trip in Oregon and saw sea lions for the first time! They were so noisy! One would start barking and then they would all chime in. I wanted to post a video, but I need to upgrade my blog account to support video files, so here is a youtube link instead. The Continue reading

So long and thanks for all the worms!
The weather at 9°N has been atypical since we arrived. All of the crew and scientists agree that this spot has always been warm, serene, and sunny.
