The Science Comedian-Brian Malow

This last December I was lucky enough to go to a workshop put on by the AGU and meet with Brian Malow, the Science Comedian. He was hilarious and if you haven't heard of him, check out his website!

Some notes from my time in San Fran

While I was in San Francisco I got to go to the best thing in the world. Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences. It was all I could have ever hoped for as a kid, and everything I wanted as an adult. The museum was turned into a club for all intents and purposes where you could get all these amazing cocktails and then go see an I-max movie. Here are just a few of the things I got to see 

Here is Claude an albino alligator. Apparently he doesn't normally move, so the fact that we got to see him swim all of 6 feet was pretty impressive.

A bit more fast pace were the sting rays and sharks. Always a lot of fun to watch, but they never seem to want to stay still enough for a photo...

This alligator gar was my favourite, mostly because I had just watched River Monsters where they fished for a whole bunch of them.

Solar wind from Gizmodo

If you don't already know, I work in the field of space physics/ space weather. It's not every day that this field makes the news, but today I found this great video from Gizmodo but I couldn't get the embedded form there, so I went to the creators project.
