Over 15 years of ocean science and conservation online
Today marks a very special 365 days of Darwin. William Saleu and Charlie outside the Sigma Xi center at the end of Science Online 2010. This is the final picture from our adventures at Science Online. But, as one adventure ends, another must begin, and today we are proud to announce that Bomai Cruz has … Read More “365 days of Darwin: February 10, 2010” »
A visit to my old stomping grounds of Forks, WA this past summer made me realize how much things had changed since I lived in the area. 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.

Originally published on April 26, 2009 How to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel has been one of our most popular posts. Over the past year, through experimentation and advice from fellow scientists and brewers, I’ve modified the recipe. The biggest criticism was that in order to make good beer, you needed to smuggle hops aboard. “Well, if you can bring hops aboard” they ask, “what’s to stop you from bringing any other brew supplies aboard?” The answer is nothing. So we went back to the brew pot, experimented with new reagents, and bring you now the definitive guide to brewing beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel.
Even though my Steelers weren’t in it this year, I watched the Super Bowl last night. I suppose that we have to let other teams win occasionally. I was disappointed by the ads this year overall (though the milkaholic E-trade baby and the Dorito’s ninja were awesome), but one in particular caught my attention. Is … Read More “Audi’s Green Police Ad” »
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:

We can rebuilt it, we have the technology, we can make it bigger, stronger, faster, harder. Welcome to Southern Fried Science 2.0! Over the weekend, major changes have happened in our humble corner of cyberspace. We made the move from the wordpress.com blog network to our own, self-hosted site on the www.bluehost.com servers. In conjunction … Read More “Fried New World” »

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
