A cross section of science on the cyberscreen
Graduate school in biosciences is tough. We know that. Four, six, even (heaven forbid!) eight years of your life dedicated to diving deeply into a research project can leave one, well, a bit “loopy” sometimes and you just need to blow off steam...
In episode 3 of my ‘Adventures in Biology’ series, I travel to the Moorea Dolphin Center located at the Intercontinental Moorea Resort and Spa.
Ok folks. Sometimes in life, the timing of events cannot be controlled. Last year I created an entire short-film dedicated to the top ‘would-be’ science stories of 2012, because let’s face it, sometimes a really big thing happens that grabs everyone’s attention, and stories that happen to come out at the same time are eclipsed...

Most everyone who follows me on social media is aware I have a weakness for two animals: otters and sloths. I’m happy to promote efforts that encourage conservation and well being of these animals...
With only 3% of NASA employees currently at work during the government shutdown, the status of continuing work for the upcoming MAVEN orbiter launching to Mars to analyze the Martian atmosphere mid-November has been uncertain...
