My 5yr old daughter just told me, I’m the best dad in the whole world, including space, and all the other planets. So sorry guys and aliens. I guess the best you can hope for his number two.

I really enjoyed this book. Anxious Generation amzn.to/4dmbffn Anyone with children, youth or even who work with you should read it. And the small irony of posting this on social media from a smartphone is not lost on me.

Check out this AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) Mesobot. I was able to help capture the footage of Mesobot. I think the twilight zone is such a fascinating area to study and thanks to the great scientists at WHOI we are learning more and more about it.
#Mesobot is specifically designed to study life in the #OceanTwilightZone. It can maneuver under its own power for 24+ hours, filming animals, measuring ocean properties, and even sampling the water for traces of animal DNA. 📲 Get to know Mesobot: go.whoi.edu/otz-mesobot

Excited to see the premier of the @novapbs PBS series ‘Sea Change’ on July 24th. I was privileged to participate in the filming and loved learning about the Gulf of Maine. Mark your calendars. The Gulf of Maine: Canary in a Coal Mine wgbh.org/foundation/highligh…

Some of my @AZMusic employees were working from home today so on our zoom call I made sure to eat @CrumblCookies in front of them that another employee brought in. I didn’t want them to feel left out.
