Transforming the stories we tell about climate change: from 'issue' to 'action'
By some counts, up to 98% of environmental news stories are negative in nature. Implicit in this number is the conventional wisdom among many communicators that increasing people's understanding, awareness, concern or even fear of climate change are necessary precursors for action and behavior change. In this article we review scientific theories of mind and brain that explain why this conventional view is flawed.

Dinosaur Week 2017
In 2017 Dinosaur Week got bigger. Sunday: We went boating at Loch Lomond where we read excerpts from Jurassic Park. (The section where the sauropods peek over the treetops, make trumpeting sounds welcome the humans to the island.) Monday: My neighbor brought us fish bones that she found at the beach. We boiled them clean and fit them onto a chalk fish outline. We learned about neural spines on the top of fish vertebrae.
Filmmakers Collaborative | Rhythm and Glue
Back to all films We are building a coalition to produce an effective media platform for climate change mitigation by applying entertainment-education protocols for the first time with sustainability topics to mainstream American audiences. To provide an example of what a narrative approach to climate communication could look like, we’ve drafted an example, Rhythm and Glue.

Here’s the original sketch that I drew from a live, swimming chambered nautilus at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. My family loved the swimming nautilus’s, but there were no nautilus toys anywhere in the aquarium. If you print the fabric that I designed at (http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/4370985), then sew the sides in reverse with ~1/2 inch margin, then stuff and seal it, you end-up with a cuddly chambered nautilus. Each pattern creates one (~9in.

They are using a kind of next generation sequencing technology called targeted sequencing to sequence up to 100 genes in several individuals simultaneously. This project is ongoing, and they’re still figuring out the limits of how many individuals they can run at once, but it’s probably around 25-30. They plan to use the data to determine the genetic differences that exist between susceptible and resistant individuals and aren’t due to other factors.
Lichens |
So, are you Lichen our nature walk? Hehe… Yes, that Is funny. There's a bizzillion types of lichen in this forest here as you can see here (http://bio.research.ucsc.edu/people/goff/Lichens%20of%20the%20UCSC%20Campus/index.htm). So I'm going to describe what I see, as generally useful distinctions between catagories of lichens, instead of individual species.

Saltwater Crocodile modeling for Tiktaalik
Russell and I spent part of our meeting this week discussing whether or not Tiktaalik would have had a nictitating membrane on its eyes.
Water Testing |
I have three tanks right now for the fish and newts. The tanks have been named Hogwarts (up high on a shelf), Winterfell (has a chiller in the tank), and Atlantis (furthest tank from my computer). It's important to make sure the creatures are healthy and happy so I've started keeping data on the water quality in the tanks. This means each week I test for: Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, Hardness, Chlorine, Alkalinity, and pH. I chart the data in a spreadsheet.
