THIS TIME TOMORROW by @emmastraub made staff writer @vanderhoofy cry on the subway, and SPINELESS by @juliberwald makes ocean science "approachable and digestible," and both happen to be two books @VanityFair couldn't stop thinking about this month! vanityfair.com/style/photos/…

"Half the world's coral reefs have died, largely from bleaching, and by some predictions, that number will rise to 99 percent by mid-century," writes @juliberwald. Click for this and more from Nautilus. bit.ly/3jsDFxT

Lots of lumberjacking with the cleanup from the ice storm, though thankfully our house was spared and we'll slowly clear the broken limbs. In warmer news, my latest story of the coral reefs--this one kind of personal--now out in @NautilusMag nautil.us/the-algae-that-mig…

Taking a page from the #jellyfish translucency playbook - love looking at the gorgeous forms of these larval eels.
Did you know that there are well over 150 species of eels that spend their larval period in the Gulf of Mexico? Fantastic biodiversity, hidden biodiversity, amazing larval stages!

An incredible honor to be able to tell this hopeful 🪸story - thanks @9brandon for wonderful editing & @NautilusMag for the opportunity & @telamarine @opwall #superreefs for all you do for the 🪸reef!! #coral
Just over a decade ago, two newly-trained divers discovered that the "rocas" along the Honduran coastline were alive. Everywhere they looked, they saw growing, thriving coral. How was this possible? Click for @juliberwald's work and more from Nautilus. bit.ly/3WuFmbK
