If people want a bit more info on the voyage that I'm posting pix from its here (the regular narrative updates are listed down the bottom) #Oceanography #TAN2502 - I expect the narrative will slowly build unless things get too busy. I've started doing this over the last few voyages and expeditions as it is useful for us and a wider subset of people seem to enjoy the looser writing style.
As we have around 7 days steaming just to get to the Ross Sea I started up regular talks for the team. Hugh Carter from the UK Natural History Museum gave a great talk on starfish with some lovely drawings he whipped up on an iPad. #Taxonomy is taxonomy! and Hugh presented it well. 😃 A whole bunch of disciplines on board and we lapped it up (even the physicists)! The talk is being given in the small library on the ship (photo Alina Madita Wieczorek). #ocean #science #TAN2502
