Craig is temporarily a post-doctoral fellow at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute who is looking for a permanent position. He spends most of his time balancing his overwhelming geekdom with normalcy so he can function in the real world. Luckily his wife likes his geekiness.
Peter Etnoyer is a Graduate Research Associate at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He studies deep corals and ocean fronts, and he loves to be on the water.
Kevin Zelnio is a Graduate Student Researcher at Penn State studying the ecology of hydrothermal vent and methane seep communities. He raises awareness of the plight of the spineless through folk music.
Unfortunately, Kevin has some stiff competition. A one man band, Pagan Wanderer Lu, is leading a project to "highlight the plight of the Giant Isopod". In 2008, there will be a tribute CD released. You can hear 4 of the songs at the Bathynomuslove Records Myspace page. The tracks so far are predominately from British bands. More about the biology of Bathynomus here, here, and video here.

Hi there
as one of Plurals, could you change the link so that it goes to our myspace - www.myspace.com/pluralsplurals rather than that other band's?
thanks
Chris

Hi there,
i'm Ziggy of Ziggy Bollus and The Thomas Ferguson Band. We haven't got a website but you can contact us via www.guiltmirrors.com yeah. Thank you for covering this, the profits are likely to go to a charitable cause as yet undecided.

Ziggy,
Link added. Tell the other bands I can add their links in to or change them if needed. Keep me updated and will continue to plug it at DSN. You should donate the profits to Oceana Europe that is working to protect deep environments like those of the Giant Isopod.

My myspace address is actually www.myspace.com/deathtomelesmeles, thanks.

www.myspace.com/hellohellohelloworld for me. Also, some of your linking has gone a bit awry (it has scienceblogs.com at the beginning of each address).

Hi,
Just thought we'd point out that the link to The Jaynes should be www.myspace.com/thjaynes (thejaynes.com is the website of a different band who share our name!)
Thanks!
The Jaynes x
