Awesome! And Ben N. T., is that you? Apologies if I’ve mistaken you for someone else . . . if it is, call me sometime! Or better yet, bring your brood to Colorado! : )

The future fishstick is one of the critters my wife is doing her postdoc on. I know, it’s a pesky vertebrate, but it’s a beautiful example of convergent evolution. Like their avian cousins the auks and penguins, the bottom-dwelling fish of the two polar oceans look similar, but are not closely related.

Sorry Amy! I know it’s not for everyone, but you get a gold star for trying. I guess the 8 different dissections I did between high school and college has helped me deal. On the other hand, I still can’t watch my own self get a shot. : )

Yeah, I couldn’t make it through the seal video. Ick. I did try, you know, as a scientist and everything. Maybe that’s why I ended up in engineering.
