i heart oceans

It's things like this that make me really question if I did the right thing when I left oceanography:

The link is to a news article in Nature that came out today. Only two works are cited in it: James Lovelock's and mine (actually mine and my lab's--I'm the lead author on the paper). I have read a lot of Lovelock's work and he is one of my role models as far as ecological research goes. He was one of the people who proposed Gaia theory. This particular article is discussing ocean fertilization which is a controversial topic amongst oceanographers and ecologists (among others).

And for those I haven't already emailed this link to, here is the link to the oceanography YouTube video "Cruise, cruise, baby." I was impressed.
