charismaticmicrofauna

First, a shameless brag about a project that I worked on as an intern which was featured in the New York Times…

Fighting poisons with microbes

Some recent deep-sea footage of some amazing creatures on our home planet, just in time for my deep-sea research cruise. I hope I get to spot any specimens like these while I displace some giant tube worms from their happy little hydrothermal vent homes for dissection and analysis.

I have been busy preparing for the research trip and have a lot of exciting news to share, but until I have time to catch up I hope you enjoys these beautiful creatures!
