Twitter, you have been so helpful & supportive throughout the process of my masters degree. I can now move on to my PhD! @SheUrchinBreck

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

Okay, this is now real.

Finally got to go inside 1 of my favorite buildings. The design was inspired by a snail shell. #parasiteeyeview

@Alex_Parker @mcnees @brianwolven @emilylurice @erinleeryan Actually from my professional opinion, cheaper ice cream = better carmelization

@brianwolven @emilylurice @Alex_Parker @mcnees @erinleeryan Next up for me is a float with this!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

Well, New England diving in January is certainly invigorating! 41F on the bottom = my new record for coldest ocean dive!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@Phycophile Yup! Awesome studies with sketchy sampling methods tend to make the best research talks!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@AlissaJ_Brown I am not allowed to have fun until I finish this damn master's degree. You know how that goes huh? ;)

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

*was once an assistant professor at UMassBoston, that is. Anyone know the story there?

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

I didn't know Bruce Menge was an assistant professor @ UMassBoston! That's the kind of thing you tell incoming marine ecology grad students!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@jebyrnes @AlissaJ_Brown I had a feeling you two would get along!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@mle425 Thank you soooo much! These are awesome. Also, I hope you are doing well :)

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@mle425 Chapman?! That would be awesome!

[Breck McCollum @Mpyrifera]

@mle425 you are the best!
