MEET OUR GUEST
Jeff Day (@jeffday) is a familiar face in the online deep-sea community. In our latest episode, we ask him all about deep-sea cephalopods (and doom metal), and how he uses social media to further science.

Sometimes, we don’t realize what discoveries we’ve made until many years later! That’s the story of this remarkable #GoblinShark (Mitsukurina owstoni) sighting by the #CorpsofExploration using #ROVHercules in 2019.

At OET, we're passionate about open-access data. One of the initiatives our data supports is the NOAA ‘Omics Strategy, designed to dramatically expand the application of ‘omics—a suite of leading-edge
methods to analyze DNA, RNA, or proteins. Learn more: bit.ly/4e6hOWu

Due to a mechanical issue on #Okeanos, we paused ROV operations. The team’s still working hard to prep the other systems for the season. We hope to be back in the water next week for more engineering dives.
We'll post updates here and on our website: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov

The #CorpsofExploration aboard #EVNautilus are officially in shakedown! This is a pre-season period during which we test all the technology and equipment on the ship to prepare it for the fieldwork ahead.
Stay tuned as we gear up for the 2026 season!

I recently searched "goblin shark" on Instagram and was disgusted by the ubiquity of generative AI slop masquerading as actual footage of living goblin sharks. So here's a thread on how to spot the bullshit (examples below)

Prey handling efficiency is at a premium in environments that are energy limited. The deepsea habitats qualify. Following suit, some deepsea predators have evolved impressive teeth that improve prey capture and handling efficiency.
