These are great!
It amuses me when people think science is always super formal and “serious”. Field work is at least 50% shenanigans.
Love!

“ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack, a crack in everything
that’s how the light gets in.”

My buddy- Abdopus acculeatus male #7. He loved to socialize and crawl around out of his aquarium. He was my favorite octopus- as you can see. I loved that part of my job. *no octopuses were harmed in the making of this photo. I was returning him to his aquarium after a cunning escape.
People are always so surprised by my relationship to animals, they think I should “love” them a whole lot more than I do. But in 24 years I think the most important thing I’ve learned about caring for animals is that love is not actually a huge part of it. I mean it is, obviously. But it’s so damaging too, it’s like the antithesis to balance. Unchecked it results in dogmatic, self-serving fervor. More important than love to your relationship with animals: respect, understanding, critical thinking, thoughtfulness, kindness, gentleness. Empathy. Perspective. Distance and space when necessary. The ability to let go.

At 27 years old, Shinri Tezuka may be one of the youngest people still practicing the dwindling art of amezaiku, or candy crafting, in Japan. The self-taught Japanese artist carves, sculpts and paints delicate lollipops into intricate edible sculptures. Amezaiku dates back hundreds of years, but today there are only two artists left in Tokyo. Tezuka hopes his elaborate goldfish, frog and octopus designs will inspire the next generation of candy crafters to keep the tradition alive.
