Google Cardboard

Marc just finished another round of his rotations, and is now enjoying his days off playing with Google cardboard. Very fun watching 3D movies and tv shows in :)

Leif

Really rough time at the aquarium...our youngest seal passed away unexpectedly yesterday. We are concerned that there is a contagious infection the animals picked up, most likely from other wild animals as they share pool water right on the ocean. We are so very sad for his loss, and worried about our remaining two seals, Nellie and Togo. At the moment they are alright, but we are keeping a close eye on them.

Marc's B-day :)

Yesterday we celebrated Marc's 30th birthday. It has been a great year to celebrate all of his achievements. And after that hard work, he is now enjoying some play :)  Marc is having lots of fun playing with Sphero, a little app controlled robotic sphere (our cats approve as well!) and some video games. The South Park game is unbelievably complex, I am very impressed any may try it out myself!

Pinger Cartoon

Fun cartoon that someone put together from our research for public outreach of the sciences :)

New semester, new students

This past week we welcomed our new group of students into the training program at the aquarium. They are a very bright bunch, I think we are in for a very good semester!!!

Laurel

I am very sad to say that today Laurel passed away. I am extremely grateful for the time I had working with her, she was an amazing animal.

New Years

To celebrate the New Year Marc and I took a trip through the Highlands. We staying in Fort Williams, and had planned to ski. However the Scottish winds were to strong, so we ended up just hiking and visiting a small zoo we came across. But that turned out to be a highlight as we got to feed a baby coo :)
