Behold the Amber Brachiopod!

It had to happened one day. My colleague and Antarctic explorer David Honig sends this photograph of the infamous post “How to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel” proudly displayed aboard the oceanographic research vessel RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer. In recognition of his discovery, Honig has been awarded the Amber Brachiopod – in recognition of explorers who find that post on board oceanographic research vessels of modest size.
