As someone who has been studying worms for over 10 years now, I am not used to jesting comments from other scientists like: “Oh you, and your charismatic megafauna.” For me, charismatic megafauna has always been whales, birds and maybe reptiles — but I … Continued
Exploring the Pescadero Basin has been truly breathtaking. Choosing the highlights of our deep dives (3700 meters down, on average) was difficult, but here they are! We will take you from the epicenter of the hydrothermal fields (thriving with the luscious red of tube worms), to the complex ecosystems that abound as we moved a … Continued

Hace tres días abordamos el RV Falkor en Cabo San Lucas, México, con destino a las chimeneas hidrotermales (volcanes submarinos) en las profundidades del Golfo de California, en un lugar llamado Cuenca de Pescadero. Estamos entusiasmados de unirnos a otros científicos que han estado aquí … Continued
Para una versión Español del este blog, por favor haga clic aquí. Days ago we boarded the RV Falkor in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, bound for hydrothermal vents deep in the Gulf of California, at a place called Pescadero Basin. We are excited to join other scientists that have been on board for two weeks, mapping the seafloor and getting … Continued
I have always had a passion for the ocean and the plethora of marine creatures that call it home. My itching curiosity to explore the biodiversity and evolution of marine invertebrates inspired me to become a proud member of Greg Rouse’s Marine Invertebrates Phylogenetics Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. As the lab manager, my … Continued
