Updates coming soon!!!

Hey everyone!

I’ve had a few people ask me when i’m going to update this page and I promise I will do so ASAP. I’m currently working on adding a new section with past and present research projects—just a fun way to communicate our results and an excuse to share fun pictures. I also plan to add a, sort of, central repository where I will write very short (and hopefully entertaining) summaries of the hundreds of papers I read for my work. I’d like to think I can pull out the most important bits, share why I think they are interesting, and of course, link the original authors here.

For now, I have spent so much time in the field that i’ve become kind of obsessed with the functionality, durability, and practicality of my gear, so, I will copy my mentor Drew’s post “What’s in my (field) bag". In the next few days I will give ya’ll some suggestions for gear I find to be useful for rocky intertidal work. Speaking of my mentor, check out his blog! he does a much better job at keeping it up and posting interesting stuff (and was what inspired me to make my own blog). www.fundulus.net

Oh yeah, while you’re at it, peep this, Drew gave ya boy another shoutout on the latest edition of the USD Faculty Newsnotes for the paper we published this past December: http://catcher.sandiego.edu/items/usd/fnn-02-19.pdf (paper reference at the bottom).

Oh yeah, check out this dirt babe’s page! Darbi Berry is a colleague and a good friend of mine. She just recently got her page going and I promised I would make her a fun logo as soon as I finish Drew’s. So stay tuned for some new art! www.dirtbabe.com

Peace!
