In this episode… Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea! Thom and Alan discuss Christmas from opposite ends of the planet, where Alan gets ‘proper’ Christmas in Scotland with snow and everything. At the opposite end, Thom insists on using his new BBQ, despite a rainstorm turning the air to liquid. The exhibit that Thom was curating, Breathe | Mauri Ora at Te Papa, is an examination of the intersection of science and art by Marshmallow Lazer Feast. It is open now if you find yourself in Wellington, New Zealand. This month, we are talking giant testate protists, the coolest things you have probably never heard of. Giant cells on the deep seabed that can reach 20 cm or more. They build elaborate shells, and despite having known about them for hundreds of years, there are still loads we don't understand about them. In the news, get ready for updates on: Squids hiding under the sea floor, pretending to be plantsA rare seven-armed octopus sightingDeep-sea art that highlights the effects of coral dredgingMissing zombie worms and expanding oxygen minimum zonesNew Whale Tags helping with deep-sea data recoveryA massive white skate nursery and Canada’s first hydrothermal site Discord update The Deep-Sea Pets Channel continues to give back with excellent photos of our fav friendsOur Holiday party was a total success, with many episodes of Octonauts watched and ‘enjoyed’ by allWe assessed some of the ‘animal saving’ videos, as discussed by Tyler on the Mythbusting AI episode. Excellent Dragon-based book recommendations. We all wished we could visit Thom’s New show opening at Te Papa.Thom shared a beautiful video about Antarctica from his Falkor Too trip last year. Planning a Time Machine to scuba dive ancient seas, study the squid therein, and then hop on a boat trip with Darwin. TBOS and KBOS brushes of science versus various squid photos.
