🍠 It’s not everyday you see a #marinebiologist flaunting a sweet potato!

 But the humble camote signifies the importance of our #ocean as Kevin explained to event attendees. [1/3] 🧵

@warrenseismo @hazardgirl09 @GeoscienceNZ I'll definitely be doing that. I tested positive yesterday, despite diligent kn95 wearing (even while I presented), avoiding the poster session and conference dinner, and generally being as careful as I could.

@hazardgirl09 @GeoscienceNZ Encouraging everyone disappointed to communicate their concerns to the organisers directly. Else nothing will change. My feedback is already up to two pages 😭

Measures, what measures? One paragraph in an email and some token hand sanitizer doesn't work. #GSNZ2022 @GeoscienceNZ - We need to step up our covid-19 safety game at conferences to protect each other.

@lcsnz I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life really sucks.

No luck with the Marsden, and shows what I know: I thought this was by far the strongest proposal I've put in, and it was unranked. So it goes.

We currently know more about the surface of the moon than our deep oceans. Our scientists are going to change that in a @seabed2030 collaboration with @niwa_nz & LINZ + @gebcobathymetry and Japan's Nippon Foundation: ow.ly/IUo450hLI7Z

@lcsnz I am sorry to hear about your cat :-(

Went to pick up the cat's ashes and they came with a certificate to prove the cat had been cremated which is...significantly less reassuring than nominally intended

@lcsnz Hope you haven't lost too much time going back to port

Weather in Auckland: still good! Unexpected (temporary) return to port: slightly less good. Still having two weeks of potential cruise time ahead of us: gives me hope!
