BioBlitz 2010
A few times a year the planets align and someone pays me to write something. This time around it was for BioBlitz 2010 at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, organized by the San Diego Natural History Museum. You can see photos from this year’s BioBlitz with my Del Mar Times article.
Will’s Video on Animal Planet’s WTF Tonight at 9:30!
You can all watch my video on Animal Planet’s Weird True and Freaky tonight at 9:30. The clip has been on Youtube for a couple years and amassed 20,000 views, which is how a few production companies have found it and contacted me. The version above is silent, but if you watch it on Youtube, you will be treated to some pretty awful royalty-free background music.
Back in the Lab
Under the guise of taking some stock photos of university-themed subjects, I recently hung out with a friend of mine in a lab at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The time I spent crouched in his cramped corner of the lab reminded me of my own short laboratory career when I was a biology student.
A Science Project
A few long years ago I was a student of evolutionary biology, humbly studying little deer mouse skeletons. Who would have known that from a simple project preparing and measuring mouse vertebrae I would be left with not just a lasting fondness for evolutionary genetics, but also an appreciation for the graphic visuals of basic research.
