Did you happen to see in the news that AI was used to create 16 new viruses? I did. And unfortunately I saw very little stories report that these viruses cannot harm humans, because they are bacteriophages, which only infect and kill bacteria.

So I decided to cover the story myself, so at least one source will educate you instead of make you scared and angry.

All it takes is one scientist saying octopuses are the closest thing we have to aliens and then the media shortens it to octopuses are aliens and runs with it 🥴

Of course a few years later a non-peer reviewed paper came onto the scene that made all of this a whole lot worse…

Kinda chic to be online sharing your journey into science, showing up as yourself, and teaching others along the way 🙂‍↕️

All photos taken by me except the first one! That photo was taken by Tino Frogfish Lovers Dive Center when I went diving in Okinawa, Japan 🇯🇵

How big is the world’s biggest octopus and is it 600lbs?

Unfortunately no. Let’s talk about giant pacific octopuses and how the world’s biggest octopus starts out as a teeny tiny baby that looks much different from its adult form.

Could octopuses hypothetically survive global warming? It’s complicated! There’s a lot of different factors at play that could go a variety of different ways. But here’s my thoughts!

I have a bunch of new faces here and thought it was a good time to update my little about me post!

This is probably far more words than anyone wants to read. But it’s my story into science and why I’m here on the internet being my weird self. It’s been quite a journey. I’m extremely grateful for those of you that have been here since the start. 🥹

Thanks so much for being here 🫶 I hope I get to teach you something new!
