One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing squid swimming in the wild in Belize, showing a friendly color pattern to his mate on one side of his body while showing an aggressive color pattern to a competitor on the other side of his body. So cool!

Terrestrially, seeing Yosemite was pretty cool.

Also there was this coral in Okinawa that was purple and it was SO AMAZING!

What I Can Share with Hosts

SO many squid facts, a view into the life of a scientist, tales of exploring the ocean, and general friendly conversation.
