“A dead trout towed behind a stick also flaps its tail to the beat of the current like a live fish surfing on swirling eddies, recapturing the energy in its environment. A dead fish does live fish things.”

@AnaVLongo @garethjfraser @UF That’s awesome! Other journals need to follow suit!

@DryTortugasNPS I've been trying to contact someone about bringing my UF class out to camp, but I haven't heard back from Curtis since May. Please tell me who to email. :) Thanks so much!!!

[Dr. Melissa Meadows @melissa_meadows]

@hanvanzan I’d love to hear more about it! I’m not sure right now which course I might incorporate it in (marine biology? But they tend to do very well on exams.), but it’s a great idea to store for later. :)

[Dr. Melissa Meadows @melissa_meadows]

@hanvanzan Oh dear! At least you got to wait this long! I think Ansel was about 6 months old our first (of many!) time. He was in respiratory distress from aspirating due to GERD.
