@awegalloway … Dr. Beverly Crusher worked hard for that PhD so she could be involved with this project! 🙌🏽😆🤩🤓

My friends, let's get back to what twitter is really here for: the fun, geeky stuff behind the science, the LOLs, the crying laughing cat emogis 😹..... I think y'all need to know the names of the Pycnopodia in our experiment. (from the supplemental files) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@bopolissimus @ErindeLeonSanc1 Same, I position my hands the way I learned in typing class… Because that was a thing in high school in 1989

@ErindeLeonSanc1 wait, I said yes. but then I tested and I don't! my high school typing teacher would be sad. OTOH maybe that's why. I learned in the 1980s on big black manual typewriters. my pinkies weren't (still aren't) strong enough to register on those.

@awegalloway Bro I’m so sorry! I sympathize big time

I think I probably broke my foot or toe on a surfing wipeout yesterday.

@awegalloway @MarineBiol_FHL you & that locker belong together🧜🏽‍♂️🤿🥰 keep coming back!

I’m back at @MarineBiol_FHL! Stoked! Got my old dive locker back too…. Thanks @pemarami for that gesture!

@awegalloway can’t stop don’t stop! 🤩

At some point I'll have to stop tweeting EVERY time I see a Pycnopodia again. 🤣 Just trust me, it's a big deal and worthy of stoke, because they used to be very common and they play an important ecological role.

On a happy note, thankful that today we found another #Pycnopodia sunflower star! ~10 cm, 9 m depth, Port Orford OR. See previous thread. @MaiteCGF (pictured) found it! We've now documented 3 Pycnos in OR this summer during our @OregonSeaGrant funded work. twitter.com/awegalloway/st…

@h2_Lo Not Dee-lite 🥺 Keep it out of the dairy section, pal

I went to the grocery store last weekend after the new CDC mas guidelines. This maskless guy in Safeway was walking down the dairy isle whistling "Groove is in the Heart" and I'm not ready for this

@sarahamilton593 @awegalloway @UO_OIMB @oregonkelp @OregonSeaGrant 🥰

After a year of barely diving, it was so magical to get back under water today. Thanks for @awegalloway and the Kelp 2 Whales project for helping me get back out there! In thanks I present you this fiesty kelp crab climbing a Pterygophora @UO_OIMB @oregonkelp @OregonSeaGrant

Still a few days to apply for this awesome summer course at Friday Harbor Labs! Come snorkel with us (for science!!) @pemarami

@h2_Lo Is this the cover of one of your earlier albums?

I miss this lil Silkie fella.

@ecophyte I recognized it right away!

I’m not attending #WSN2020, this year but check out this blast from the past to compare to presentations, today: a slide that was made by Duggins to support his work on kelps, urchins, pycnopodia, and sea otters in #Alaska.

Happy Stacey Abrams Appreciation Day!!!!

@o_jgraham @MarineBiol_FHL nice October colors!

Sharing some seasonally-appropriate marine #inverts, since it's the start of fall quarter @MarineBiol_FHL! 🟠 Welcome to all the new students! 🟠

@jenni_pro this is legit the first one that comes up for my name

Search your name in the gif finder and show us the one that best sums up your year so far. This one was the best overall!

@soFISHtication Yeah I thought there was something special about you when I saw you yesterday! Hope it was a very happy birthday 🥳

I turned 22 today and my mom sent me this😭💙❤️

@RossWhippo @theRedShrimp @awegalloway @CTELab @jebyrnes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

Our #KEEN site year 2 data is in the books! Thanks to my intrepid diving buddy @theRedShrimp and all the tending help from Julia K! Special shoutout to @awegalloway for relocating the plots. #kelp #fieldwork @CTELab @jebyrnes 📷: Julia K

@RJLilley If it weren’t for Covid, this would be major top first page news, right? So exciting

@soFISHtication @girlyratfish You know I’m not the hugest fish person 😮 But this guy is one of my very favorite animals, and therefore this is one of my favorite of your clips!🙌🏽 thanks for the cool facts

Today’s #animalfacts go out to the chimaera AKA ratfish AKA ghost shark AKA spookfish! So many amazing names for such an adorable fish! BONUS FACT: many have venomous dorsal spines… HOW COOL IS THAT!! Thanks @girlyratfish for this fantastic suggestion👻🦈

@ecophyte They are from warshington

When someone says “hanwarshing” instead of “hand washing”. 🤷‍♀️😂
