Here are a few more creature profiles! I've been updating my Webtoon with them regularly (new ones every Monday) but I also FINALLY got around to uploading the past few months of them on my website. You can find links to both places in my bio. Sulfur is everywhere. "In you, in me, in cyanobacteria, in dolphins... it doesn't matter, they've all got sulfur." - @thegeojesse My first ever fanart! Smudgy is a North Pacific right whale living in... well, the North Pacific. North Pacific right whales off the American coast are critically endangered, with only 30 left in their population. Smudgy is one of those 30, and she was spotted playing with a log at the surface of the water in 2009. This month marks a year since I finally admitted to myself that Go Forth and Science was actually happening. I ironed out podcast logistics, uploaded it to streaming services, and started thinking ahead about what guests I wanted on board. And I'm so glad I did. I've had amazing conversations with rad people over the past year, and I've gotten to share those conversations with you. Well, parts of those conversations. Each interview normally lasts around an hour, but then I have to cut it down to fit into a 20 minute episode. Bloopers get cut, tangents get shortened, and unfortunately not every fun fact makes the final draft. But in celebration of this first anniversary, I'm going back to some of those outtakes. Hopefully they make you smile, laugh, and get stoked about our world. A couple months ago I was interviewed for @mainewomenmagazine! I drew a comic for the article about how salt marshes need room to move inland as sea levels rise and change their ecosystem. Salt marshes provide great habitat for all sorts of animals and help calm waves and storm surges, so they're pretty dang important. When I'm not wandering outside, I'm usually on the computer. And while I've accumulated a gross number of screen-time hours over the last year, I try to mix up what I'm doing each day. Switching from podcasting to art to work keeps things interesting, even if my world stays the same small screen. In other shenanigans, I'm working on a project to help protect the North Pacific right whale! There are only 30 whales left in the population off the western North American coast, making them pretty mysterious and critically endangered. Between 1979 and 2020, Sasquatch has been sighted 671 times along the west coast... North Pacific right whales have only been seen 36 times over those years. “I woke up in the morning, opened the tent… and just to see the valley surrounded by these really tall gorgeous mountains… that was amazing.” -@heathercliffo I've got a bunch of new character profiles up on Webtoon! The link to that is in my bio.
