It wasn’t an abundance of second homes and big box stores one might expect to come over time to a coastal community. One thing had changed and Forks will never be the same: Twilight.

Intricately linked to life in Forks, now and before, are the Quileute people, who live in the nearby town of LaPush where the Ho River meets the Pacific Ocean. Across from their square kilometer reservation is one of the most scenic views Olympic National Park has to offer.

We’ve replaced the old “walkway through swamp” header with a series of rotating headers highlighting different aspects of our lives and sciences. Since, we’re throwing out the old site and bringing you a bigger, stronger, faster, smarter Southern Fried Science, I’d thought I’d take this opportunity to show off the new headers and give y’all a little insight into our reasons for using these images:

My contribution to Bluegrass Blue Crab’s Ocean Story Slam. Of course, since I’m also a judge, this technically doesn’t count. Some stories are just too fun not to tell, this is not one of them. So consider this my gift to you: ~Southern Fried Scientist

We know you all have good stories from the field, of your crazy colleagues, or simply of what crazy shenanigans happen in otherwise tedious lab time. Not to mention, your actual research should be tell-able in story form, so…

In the honor of narratives in science, I propose an OCEAN STORY SLAM!

Plus, I know you all love competitions.

Curious? Check out my intro at YouTube. Please submit yours in reply.

What is a story slam, you ask?
