The joy of being a scientist and explorer is you do what children do. You ask questions like: Who? What? Why? When? Where? How? And you never stop, and you never cease being surprised. It’s just impossible to be bored.

Q1: They say “teamwork makes the dream work!” How do you define "community" in the work that you do and how has it allowed you to do your job better? #EDUMeetsExploration

Use your classroom to create a more just society, & provide students with tools, language, & opportunities they need to become upstanders, civic actors, & socially just citizens. Don’t just teach pain: Teach resilience, resistance, & radical hope.

This moment demands that we, as a nation, radically reimagine the interconnected systems of education, voting, labor and justice to eradicate deeply rooted oppression and anti-Black racism.

Finding a nudibranch on a dive always makes me happy! Goniobranchus fidelis (?) Can you spot its rhinophores?
There are thousands of species of nudibranchs. Their two ‘horns’ (rhinophores) are chemical receptors… instagram.com/p/B-UcTHzh2C2/…
