This video gives a bit of background information on the cruise – along with lots of pretty pictures. I’m not in the video, but I’m the person who the scientist is looking at when she’s talking, so, you can imagine me in the room. I went up to Woods Hole in January to do this interview and meet the people who will be editing my dispatches from the ship.

Ok, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow. Holy cow. I’ve reached the point where I’m doing triage on my giant to-do list – the rest of the quizzes will get written after I get back. I’ll file for an extension on my taxes. Ok, but I really have to write those stories for National Geographic before I leave. Gack! Back to work!
