From writing about dive trips to discussing scientific articles, in this blog I will share my thoughts and interests relating to the ocean and my experience as a first generation Mexican-American student.

The Pulsing of the Water
During my stay at the Bodega Marine Lab, I took a few time-lapses of the ocean waves at Horseshoe Cove, Schoolhouse Beach, and Dillon Beach. My goal was to capture the wave motion and sunset over time. It is easy to let these slow processes go unnoticed but a time-lapse can provide a broader perspective on the changing environment and the progression of the day.

Bryazoans!
Of all the animals we have discovered a whopping 98% of them are invertebrates yet, throughout human history, we have given an unfair amount of attention to vertebrates which only make up 2% of all animal life. While every animal is important, I believe that it is time that everyone recognizes the incredible diversity and beauty of living invertebrates (such as Bryozoans).
