@skinnylatte Longtime Osedax fan here and so much of the good work is out of MBARI — a friend/colleague and I met with folks there about possible collaborations (we both did research on bone biology). Also wrote text for a visual essay on Osedax (site now defunct, alas), describing whalefall ecosystems as the ‘dark inverse of coral reefs’ (a carcass in the hadal dark rather than living coral in the sunlit shallows). Excited about making to Monterey to see the new deep sea exhibit!
