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).

The Undercurrent
I want to share my experiences as an undergrad, talk about subjects I find fascinating, and make important topics in marine science more accessible. By doing this I hope not only expand my understanding of the ocean and the many creatures living both beneath the waves and on the coasts but be able break down complicated ideas into a more digestible discussion. So feel free to sit down, drink some warm tea (or any beverage of your choice), and join me in exploring the wonderful system that is the ocean.
