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.
Probably, in response to all the trash talk I've been dishing out, pontificating on the superiority of Molluks to echinoderms, Dr. Echinoderm himself started a blog. DSN has featured Chris Mah at least a few times in the past. Chris's new venture, Echinoblog, will be "an ongoing venue for collecting and presenting perspectives, popular news, and articles on the Echinodermata!" I guess Chris has brought it!
Second up is Erin's new blog She Tells Fish Tales. It is all about the adventures of the poor in America, namely graduate students in Marine Biology. Head over and post a comment welcoming her. Also tell her she needs to blog more. I ensure the writing will be better than DSN and definitely better than 75% of the stuff at Sb.
To finish up the link love, a new blog, Stichin' Fish, arises that documents the Ecology Action Centre project "to celebrate the beauty, diversity and fragility of our Northwest Atlantic seafloor." They are seeking submissions for their North Atlantic seafloor display and "want to borrow your crocheted, knitted, quilted, sculpted or otherwise crafted marine creatures for World Ocean Day on June 8th." So someone needs to hop to it and crouchet, knit, or quilt (a giant isopod quilt!, yeah baby) a Bathynomus so I can donate to the project.
NOTICE: Apologies go out the Bleiman Twins at Zooillogix. I only read 5 blogs at a time. So I have to let you go Zooillogix. Really it's not you, it's me. I hope we can still be friends. On the other hand I have been worried about our relationship for awhile. You never open up your thoughts to me. All the romance is gone. The honeymoon is over. Besides, you blog looks fat in those jeans.

Contains links to where you can buy complete creatures and/or patterns.
