@skinnylatte Sometimes it's really funny how the world works. Also, Antje Boetius, the German scientist who is coming to the aquarium as the MBARI president and CEO (https://www.mbari.org/news/mbari-names-antje-boetius-as-next-president-and-ceo/) used to live & work near here and I once almost bumped into here in a narrow hallway on the way to a lecture, so if you narrowly miss bumping into here some day think of that

@lipow oh wow! Everyone is very excited she’s coming here for sure.

More jelly

@skinnylatte Took some young people to the Vancouver Aquarium last summer, and this two year old was utterly entranced by the jellies.

@Plumbert love how magical it is for so many people

Can’t believe I get to see penguins while I’m at work

@skinnylatte That is the most beautiful aquarium I visited so far. I am sure you will enjoy your new work so much! I have so good memories from Monterrey, when attending the International Semantic Web Conference there in 2018 (http://iswc2018.semanticweb.org/). We visited the Sequoya parks and some other beautiful places with my wife, and met very nice people around. Your pictures made my day!

@daniel i'm glad you have such great memories here!

[apbblue@thepit.social]

@skinnylatte It's so heartening to see someone having a whale of a time at their job

[skinnylatte@hachyderm.io]

View from an office window (and I work in one of the ‘boring’ office buildings, not at the main aquarium). They all have pretty good views I think

[zackstern@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte byo squids.

[zackstern@hachyderm.io]

@skinnylatte this one has a handle, you can take animals from the main tanks on loan for the day.

@zackstern heh
