I made this little video about nudibranchs, one of the coolest marine invertebrates in the ocean!  ;-)

today my deep sea bio class got to rummage through old books from the scripps library…

this one was my fav, from the year 1900, a book on cephalopods! the pages were filled with drawings of species found during early scientific expeditions that laid the foundation for modern oceanography!
