When the locals get too close for comfort! This pelican thought he would say hi as I finished taking a sample. And proceeded to swim around me looking for food. But he wasn't getting any crabs from my samples! #fieldwork

Oh, #fieldwork! How I miss you! Vacuuming seagrass wore me out, but it was so enjoyable! Now, trying to decipher the mysteries hidden within my data give me a headache.

It's amazing how we could miss a group of 1.5 million penguins! Makes me happy I'm working with satellite imagery. Wonder what fun things I could find...

"Thalassophobia is the fear of the sea or of sea travel." Don't think I have that problem. An awesome article on deep sea biology in Antarctica, plus an AMAZING video!

My 4-hour graph! 2.5 hours making attempts and failing. Barely 1 hour to create and make it pretty. Got to love #RStudio!
