We got blown out of diving the middle two days of my trip. I went out a few times to run errands with Jim and Pat, but spent the vast majority of my time editing video… which was a necessary evil I suppose. But I do not have much to report from it unfortunately… It was very informative learning to use final cut pro 7 (especially on an 8-core mac pro), but it definitely was a littttle bit less fun than diving.
I flew in from England on Thursday night before the weekend of the Sea Rovers Conference. I got up early for the COMS (Career Opportunities in Marine Science) day. I really enjoyed the broad variety of speakers at this event. I was always interested in marine biology as a child, and the school groups that…
Today was my first day at the New England Aquarium. I was wicked excited, because I have been going to the NEAq since I was very little, so it was cool to see the Aquarium from a different perspective. When I arrived, I meet up with Paul Leonard, Senior Aquarist for the Penguins. He showed…
This Sunday, I met Lee Livingston bright and early (5 am) at the Guilford commuter lot for what would be an exciting day. Our destination was Dutch Springs Pennsylvania, playing host for the weekend to the DUI DOG Rally and Demo Days. We arrived just before 8 am and I quickly realized that Dutch Springs…

Brownstone also doubles as a huge water park type attraction, with zip-lining, bouncy bounces (in the water) kayaking, and a whole ton of other fun stuff. But, set off to the…
I have attended Rover Clinics for most of my life, but I arrived at the Boston Copley Hotel to begin the weekend activities not knowing what to expect. I could only imagine what the weekend would be like. Friday began with COMS or Career Opportunities in Marine Sciences, hosted by George Buckley for high school…
