Tried and true tradition and cure for jet lag when arriving in the UK - the SUNDAY ROAST. Energized for tomorrow’s ICES ASC meeting

Six for six receivers popped up on our mid Chesapeake array including several Ocean Tracking Network loaners

Day on the Bay tending our Mid-Chesapeake telemetry array. Hot and breezy in front of TS Debbie

Best souvenir ever! Big supply of “Kyoto University President’s Special Curry” thanks to my sister in law. Very thoughtful.

Mid Chesapeake backbone array deployment. CHECK!

congrats to Tailwinds Evan Kostolecky on his presentation at the AFS Tidewater meeting in Newport News on Black Sea bass seasonal changes in condition ramping up for offshore wind impact evaluation.

First encounter with giant mottled eels on Amami Island Japan. Remarkably tenacious colonizers of both pristine conserved rivers and highly channelized ones.
