Besides lacking a hyphen between deep and sea (can you tell that I've been nailed a few times for doing this myself), Deep Sea News is quickly becoming one of my favorite science blogs. It is probably no surprise given a nearly life-long fascination with strange marine life including that at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and a sincere appreciation for the mission and driving forces of the blog.
... I have always wanted DSN [Deep Sea News] to do that for our readers, that sense of awe, passion, novelty, and most of all participation in exploration.On the rollercoaster that is being a burgeoning professional academic, DSN is my daily reminder of why I do this. I enjoy the part of the day I set down at my computers and share with the readers the wonderment that is the environment that I have dedicated my life to. The readers reaffirm how blessed we are to be in this field–Craig McClain, Deep Sea News, editor-in-chief full excerpt
This makes me reconsider my motivation and goals for this blog... and, more importantly for you, to share one of my favorite videos posted by Deep Sea News - a National Geographic clip Bioluminescence on Camera. The exceptional images remind me of the amazing things that life can do and of late nights in high school spent at the beach with good friends watching breaking waves fluoresce.
