Meet the garden eel – a shy creature who almost never leaves its burrow, even to feed. Now, the OIST Marine Biophysics Unit has conducted the first lab study on garden eels, revealing how their lifestyle pays off when feeding in strong currents @J_Exp_Biol bit.ly/3PFRSSy

We hope to find similar ones in Okinawa... As pumice stone rafts float across the ocean, they pick up and drop off life along the way abc.net.au/news/science/2020… via @ABCaustralia

30 minutes until @ngela_ares gives an @OISTFoundation Webinar titled "Microbes on the storm." Read that to the tune of the Doors' "Rangers on the storm" and then try to get it out of your head. Watch here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi… and learn about microbial responses to typhoons!
