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.
You may remember Peter's sobering post on the Plastic Expanding Inevitable, a wonderful part of the Pacific where plastic particles outnumber plankton. According to a post at the Oyster's Garter, a great joint blog between a journalist and a marine biologist, the ORV Alguita has set off on a new journey to the North Pacific Gyre to examine marine debris. Algalita Marine Research Foundation has a blog for the trip and school-themed blog to boot. Miriam comments about the size of the A-frame. Hey, it's not the size that matters it's how you trawl. Maybe I'm spoiled but I can't imagine spending time in the mid-Pacific on a ship that size (left)
