Please RT! I'm looking to get short statements from queer marine scientists & biologists (& related fields) about their experiences being queer in their fields. Any level of experience or career is okay, anonymous statements are possible. DM me here on Twitter or email me!

Baby bull kelp, puppiubg ip in front of the circle window. It’s what keeps me going these days. #phycologyfriday #nereonerd

[Kelsey Barker @KelpseyofKFT]

Who doesn’t want to hear me nerd out about kelp and the kelp forest exhibit?

Kelp looking fresh, GSB in view and feeling good. Happy #phycologyfriday.

I spy, with my little eye, something that glamazons would wear for #phycologyfriday. Newly placed #featherboakelp in the kelp forest exhibit, we’ll see if the holdfasts take!

[Kelsey Barker @KelpseyofKFT]

Why hello there, baby bull kelp. I’ve missed you. Welcome to the new wall! #phycologyfriday #nereonerd

@MontBaySeaweeds Wednesday 1/25, so just a couple of days

Finally was able to plant the first phyllospadix box on the new back wall! Here’s hoping the roots take, and my mad scientist ideas turn out #phycologyfriday #kelpforest #surfgrass #yepgrass

So great to see this forest bouncing back! One year ago this magestic forest was growing 2T Ha/day before collapsing to 0 over summer. Now a new cohort is coming through. @GSR_Australia @IMASUTAS

Such a sweet thread… that bear was likely important to somebody, and now has a new life!

[Lego Lost At Sea @LegoLostAtSea]

This is quite remarkable. After winter storms in January last year, we found the remains of an old teddy bear washed up. When we shared a picture online, Anglican priest @CassWoollibold asked if she could restore him.

A thread.

[Matt Hess @MatthewHHess]

Okay WaPo. The world has heard of the Monterey Peninsula. There’s only one and it’s darn famous.

I wanted to start the year with a masterpiece but this took me way longer than I thought.
P.S. - Of course, I named it “Sharks and Recreation”.
