Album covers are totally a thing on the Falkor. 🤣 #emofish @BioinspirLab @MBARI_News @SchmidtOcean 📷: @jovellephoto
W.477 / North Atlantic Ocean During their morning break the crew on board R/V Falkor (too) take a leisurely stroll sixteen times around the helideck (1 km total). If they were to ever release an album, I think this would need to be the cover...

From shark fly-bys and googly-eyed squid to toothy-grinned fishes and corals the size of trees, MBARI’s ROVs encountered many spellbinding scenes in the deep this year. Enjoy MBARI’s #Bestof2022! 🌊🎉💙

Professors are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD--and this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities nature.com/articles/s41562-0… A third of faculty at top-ranked universities report that their parent has a PhD 30% versus 19% at lower-ranked institutions.
