Rose aroma

We've been busy working these days. Nate is now waiter master of the universe at the Macaroni Grill and Kris is finally getting papers published. Two papers so far, see the links below if you are interested.

Nate has a species named after him in the first paper! Leucothoe nathani White and Reimer, 2012a (photo below)

Here are a few photos of the last dive we did at Maeda. It has been a bit chilly and the seas are pretty rough in winter, so we haven't gotten in the water much.





In other news, we've accidentally bought Rosa Aroma toilet paper. If we would have read the name of it, we might have been smarter, but alas, the bathroom is now rose scented.
