Today, my co-researcher, aquatic-life biologist Hannah Jacobs, and I made a startling discovery. There exists, among the jagged rocks of the Halifax shoreline, a jelly graveyard of sorts. A place where jellies go at the end of their roads....a place where the corpses of jellies float aimlessly and tossed by every slosh of the water into the rocks....
RIP jellies.....

research update
Last weekend, I traveled to the shores of Charlottetown, PEI, accompanied by world renown marine biologist Marsha Lannan and ecologist Malcolm MacDonald. To our delight, we discovered a new species of jellyfish, the purple marble murples. To test the agility of this species, Malcolm and I threw small stones at the jellies. We were unable to successfully aim our stones to land on any of the jellies, but subjective impressions lead us to believe that these jellies are fit to survive vicious attacks from other species. More details to come.

research DAY 1
On Saturday,
my new friend and co-researcher, Hannah, and I traveled a great distance to the shores of Halifax, Nova Scotia. We were on a mission: to witness and study the miracle of jellyfish birth. As aquatic-life biologists, who study micro-organisms, plants, and animals living in water, we felt compelled to lend our expertise to this event. We were joined by world renown marine biologist and ecologist Marsha Lannan and Malcom MacDonald. Details to follow.
