I still love giant isopods so much. This is the first short-form video I ever made doing scicomm. THEY’RE JUST SO CUTE!! And now, whenever I see a roly poly, I think “dang, you got a big bro at the bottom of the ocean, and you don’t even know it”😂

I recently had the opportunity to present my research on native bee host interactions at Santa Rosa Junior College’s Advanzando conference with funding from the NSF!! The poster is linked below, but if you love bees (or at least the ecosystem services they provide), here’s the summary ⬇️

Welcome

onboarded @newtp on saturday!!!

how we met? a random linkedin dm turned 3 hours convo re/ cornell, environment & sustainability, ai usage, furry conventions, bees, death, and overly sweet coffee.

At @ted’s request, here’s a video I made on a “mystery mollusc” discovered by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (that is doing some AMAZING deep sea research)!!! I wanna work there fr. If anyone’s interested in the full study, I can link it below :P

Idk if anyone knew, but clownfish are SHRINKING during marine heat waves!!! That way, they can save energy and eat less :0 do you know how they do it? They absorb their own BONE MATTER!! CRAZY!!!

So you’re telling me this ginormous roly poly just lives at the bottom of the sea chowing on whale carcasses with FOUR mouths in sub-freezing temperatures?!?!?! GIANT ISOPODS ARE SO COOL!!!!

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉
Nature is my tripod :)
