Central Coast Science After Dark

I enjoyed giving a science cartoon talk at the Central Coast Science After Dark meeting this week.  Part of the talk involved crowd-sourcing a cartoon.  The group chose the following criteria:

  • Setting: Undergraduate Field Trip
  • Dominant Emotion: Confusion
  • Timing: Something has just happened
  • Variable: Cephalopod (octopus or squid)
Here's the result...ready for your caption suggestions! (click to see a larger image.)

I pictured a Cal Poly Marine Science class at the tide pools.  I think I might have been channeling my inner Charles Addams a little bit for this cartoon.  Please use the Comment area at the bottom of this page to suggest a caption.

Here's a short clip from the Science After Dark talk (the audio cuts out for a few seconds).  The talk covered life in the lab, grant writing, the Human Genome Project, Next-Generation sequencing, and teaching genetics...all in cartoon form.

  2. I started to break the stories up into groupings around general themes-it helps when I organize things into groups, so I can apply some sort of selection criteria for seemingly unrelated data points (who says that thirty years in business doesn't have its rewards)?best bearded dragon substrate

  7. However, there's a huge inequality of the number of placed bets among gamblers. We therefore wonder if these 소울카지노 distributions we get hold of result from the inequality of number of bets among individuals. To take away the results of this inequality, we randomly pattern in every dataset the same number of bets from heavy gamblers.

  8. I'm just beginning my journey toward divorce https://floridaonlinedivorce.com/grounds-for-divorce-in-florida/, gathering information and trying to validate my feelings. The only thing holding me back is that I really don't want to share our four dogs. I already had one, P, before I met my husband, so it's easy, but the other three, M, T and N, are what I'm worried about. We live in Texas, and the law treats animals as property that is split 50/50 in a divorce. I really hope that if the divorce does go through, it goes easily and without a custody battle over the dogs, which I understand is a big dream.
