Went last night to see the preview of @sofiaatsea.bsky.social show about oceans, and it was brilliant - honest, wity, moving, thought-provoking, with some unexpected twists and so cleverly put together. Congratulations, Sofia!

I keep seeing the same questions asked in marine biology career advice groups. So along with some colleagues, I'm trying to compile a bunch of common questions and answer them all at once. Please share widely with anyone who might have questions! Submit ?s here: forms.gle/LEd4egJgvfGf... 🦑🧪🌎🐟

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Big eel news! Recently uncovered frescoes at Pompeii contain eels. Because of course they do. Eels are everywhere in European history. You just have to look. This is a pair of lovely morays. To paraphrase Garth Brooks, sometimes folks wonder what happens if two morays never come. But here they are.

A colored picture of part of a fresco, showing a woman and man on the bottom, and a pair of yellow and black morays on the top. The background is red of different shades. The woman -- we'll call her Gloriatica -- is wearing a green robe, gold earrings, and a gold band in her hair. She's looking at you with a *very* long-suffering expression.

This is probably because of the man next. You can't see all of him because of damage to the fresco, but what you can see looks sleazy. He has receding hairline, wispy white hair, and no shirt. He looks like he's only wearing a towel, and he's looking up at Gloriatica in a way that will look familiar to anyone who's spent time in bars. We'll call him Slorigen, and avoid him.

The two eels -- probably named Estebox and Vestebox -- are facing different directions. The one on the right -- Esterbox -- is curling up over some sort of skate. They are pointedly ignoring the drama that's playing out below them. Can't people just behave themselves in public frescoes?

We’re making a new marine conservation science and policy textbook. What do you want to be in it?

The leading textbook in Marine Conservation Biology (Norse and Crowder) is 20 years old. It’s great and it shaped the field for a generation, but a lot has happened since it came out. There are new…

I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. Plus why would I give them what they want, as premature surrender? Thanks Senator Schatz.
