Outed in Blue

I knew it would happen sooner or later, and truth to tell I wasn’t hiding it, I just wasn’t advertising it. Yet, they have found me out!

My first clue was when a certain picture showed up on the staff and students page for a lab, for which I am doing a summer internship that is turning into a longer term project. Hopefully, I can do some research at the lab as well. I would love to do a bit of research on survivability and development of larvae under severe conditions.

The professor is also my adviser, so when I saw him on Monday, I was a little bit nervous that the web site, or certain components of it, might be an issue. Fortunately, it isn’t an issue and he’s even linking it under my bio on the web page.

At the same time, Rick MacPherson, the Director of Conservation Programs for the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL), has included The Other 95% in a salute to great ocean blogs. I have some serious respect for CORAL and the work they have done all over the world, genuinely making it happen, and Rick’s Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice and Sunset is one of my regular reads, especially the awesome That’s A Moray Monday series.

His list had some new sites for me, especially the international ones. If you’re at all interested in ocean science an conservation it is a highly recommended starting point for your cyber classroom and adventures.

    BTW tell Tammy how impressed I am at the speed of knitting on those two sweaters. She has finished twice as many items in the last three months as I have started (and none of those finished!)

    I’ve been “out” at school for a while – people seem puzzled at worst and become regular readers at best. I’m glad that your adviser thinks it’s neat!
