I have started swimming out to the end out the reef--the other day I saw a turtle!  There is a red windsock out there, but I don't think you can see it in this picture. It's about a 250m swim each way. 

Some friends of mine just got published in Nature, a very prestigious scientific journal.  It's pretty interesting, but also super depressing... Also, what was this seminar and how did I not know about it? Poop! I want to get into Nature...

This month I am working in my life history chapter which requires a lot of data entry and measuring terribly smelly dead octopuses... Back to work!
