SeagrassLI: New York's "Fragile Waterways" Premieres

http://seagrassli.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-yorks-fragile-waterways-premieres.html

Thursday, April 22, 2010. New York's "Fragile Waterways" Premieres. The PBS Channel 13 documentary entitled "Fragile Waterways" premiered today. At 45minutes the segment begins featuring my father (the oyster farmer) and I. Part of this includes a brief discussion about our eelgrass restoration efforts in Long Island Sound. Not much on detail but there is only so much you can get into on one of these shows. You can view the show online. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am currently the Eelgrass Prog...

THE SPINELESS LIFE: Snail survey (and a horseshoe crab)

http://thespinelesslife.blogspot.com/2014/08/snail-survey-and-horseshoe-crab.html

Invertebrates are pretty awesome. Here's why. Monday, August 11, 2014. Snail survey (and a horseshoe crab). Well, obviously it's been a while. This is mostly because I've been writing a lot and that's not really good inspiration for a) writing more for fun or b) writing about things that you (presumably not a member of my committee, given the odds) want to read. Babies for a last-ditch attempt at an experiment. There were lots of birds out today, and this horseshoe crab. I also found all of the common in...

Life in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Monthly Archives: October 2011. October 30, 2011. I am writing this while watching Hocus Pocus! Which is literally my second favorite holiday movie (1st place is obviously Love Actually at Christmastime). I love Hocus Pocus, especially when Sarah Jessica Parker jumps up and down screaming, “Amuck, amuck, amuck! Happy Halloween (or Happy Nevada Day for my peeps back in the Silver State)! October 26, 2011. That’s beca...

Life in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Monthly Archives: November 2011. November 29, 2011. Tom Petty knows what’s up. Although he may be singing about life and love, and not his experiment, he still knows a little something about the Breakdown. I am thankful I didn’t die while hiking Volcán Barú. November 24, 2011. Volcan Baru and Boquete town from a distance. Funny. It doesn't look that impressive from a distance. So here’s how the whole thing goes down...

THE SPINELESS LIFE: A little delayed

http://thespinelesslife.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-little-delayed.html

Invertebrates are pretty awesome. Here's why. Friday, June 13, 2014. Larvae. Lots of larvae. The yellow masses are eggs and young embryos. The brown masses in the foreground are larvae that are ready to hatch, and the little dots in the water are larvae that are hatching. Except I took it on May 26th. Cold weather = late snails.

THE SPINELESS LIFE: Science reading 2: Spillover

http://thespinelesslife.blogspot.com/2014/06/science-reading-2-spillover.html

Invertebrates are pretty awesome. Here's why. Friday, June 6, 2014. Science reading 2: Spillover. I first encountered David Quammen. His talk was about Darwin’s formulation of the theory of natural selection. Afterwards there was a book signing and I remember sort of wanting to buy one but it seemed like an absurd, expensive frivolity. I continue to regret that decision. For Christmas that year I got the Darwin biography. And a copy of The Song of the Dodo. Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic.

THE SPINELESS LIFE: July 2014

http://thespinelesslife.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Invertebrates are pretty awesome. Here's why. Saturday, July 19, 2014. A tale of three snails. This entry is a week overdue. Last Sunday we had a ' supermoon. Around here. Basically all that means. For me is an exceptionally low tide, and boy was it ever. As it turned out, I had to go look for more Crepidula. Egg masses to get more larvae, so off I went on an early Sunday morning. Just about at the lowest point of the tide. But trust me, this is very low for around here. First, here are some C. plana.

Turtle Crap: It’s What’s for Dinner (if you’re a batfish). | FishiLeaks

Dispatches from the Undersea Realm. I know hybridization is bad and everything, but is it really too much to ask one walrus and one orca to get it on? It’s Raining Fish. Hallelujah? Turtle Crap: It’s What’s for Dinner (if you’re a batfish). January 3, 2011. According to most guidebooks, “batfish” is synonymous with “spadefish.” But in reality the spadefish make up an entire family,. Of which batfish (genus. Are merely the largest component. All batfishes are spadefishes; all spadefishes are. Thanks to th...

THE SPINELESS LIFE: Science reading 1: Lazy Point

http://thespinelesslife.blogspot.com/2014/05/science-reading-1-lazy-point.html

Invertebrates are pretty awesome. Here's why. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Science reading 1: Lazy Point. And now for something completely different. No new pictures this week, but I thought I would honor a request: the lovely Carolyn, a high school acquaintance of mine and the literary blogger at Rosemary and Reading Glasses. Would like recommendations and reviews of science books. Or newer authors like Carl Zimmer and David Quammen? Or Stephen Jay Gould? Hopefully I'll get to all of these and more. Is suppos...
