That is the advertising campaign of the National Aquarium in Baltimore. I LOVE their new ads. You can even make your own aqua faces!

Here is one I made using the aquafaces creator.

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.

I usually see the aquarium when I'm in Baltimore; it really is pretty neat. The way the dolphins are kept there does make me sad, though, and I wish more facilities took better care of their cetaceans.

That is cool.
But here at the New England Aquarium, we're cool too!

Thanks! It's been turning some heads up here.
The agency that did it also tried to start a viral video. 11,000 hits isn't too bad! We're just hoping it translates into visitors.
