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.

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: https://t.co/SbNpuMNSOx

[NOAA Ocean Exploration @oceanexplorer]

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: https://t.co/SHcVwExTRc

[E/V Nautilus @EVNautilus]

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!

@paleobyliam yeah guys real goblin sharks look like this

[(福) Jeff Day @jeffday]

@paleobyliam thank you for doing this. i need to do the same for squid, there are some pretty egregious AI magnapinna and colossal squid out there right now

[Liam Elward Paleoart 🇵🇸 @paleobyliam]

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)
