I saw your name in a news site on CNN, about the “great trash whirlwind” in the middle of the ocean and I read in your bio,”how a coccolithophore changes…” is pretty cool stuff you are involved in! From your picture I would say you are just starting and so I hope you live long and prosper! Good luck!

Thanks, Karen! I have been enjoying the Atlantic coccoliths blog, but unfortunately the last voice mail I received from Alone ended in "MY GOD WHAT IS THAT HELLLP MEAIEEEEEE!" Do you think that's bad? curious visitor: The plates are fused to the coccolithophore's cell membrane.

Here’s hoping for many more “Dear Oyster’s Garter” letters in the future. Good stuff.

Miriam: *applause* I have just nominated this post for the Science Blogging anthology Alone: you might also be interested in the Atlantic coccoliths blog, where you are likely to meet other likeminded coccolithphores and learn even more about your special biology. But watch out for Jeremy and Martine's sampling apparatus!
