For Cod and Country @bartonseaver

I do love vegetables and sizzling hot shots when they come wrapped up in great ideas. Barton Seaver wants to restore our relationship with the ocean, the land, and with each other through dinner. In his first book, For Cod and Country, Seaver introduces an entirely new kind of casual cooking featuring seafood that hasn’t been overfished or harvested using destructive methods. I became aware of this guy through the TED network a while ago:
Watch and get inspired!
Been a while!

It’s been a while since my last post now. I’ve been quite busy at work trying to squeeze out a PhD… Man, its hard! Got some nasty feedback from a moody editor that put me off a bit, but now I’m back in the saddle and ready to go at it again. Feeling quite confident… at least some of the time… :)
Aside from my attempts(!) to write manuscripts for scientific papers, I’ve been engaged in blogging at marinbiobloggen (in Norwegian). Lots of exciting material. I’ve come to worry a great deal about the Norwegian management of marine resources. Therefore, my next posts will deal with some of these issues. Hopefully, I’ll be able to present them in a more global perspective than is done at marinbiobloggen.
First Census of Marine Life!
Tuesday, October 5th, 2010 Marine biology, Science biodiversity, census of marine life None
Yesterday a historical event of great importance not only to marine scientists, but to the global community, took place in London. 2700 scientists from 80 countries met to discuss knowledge that has accumulated through a decade of marine research. The project was initiated 10 years ago and is called Census of Marine Life. This is probably one of the most extensive projects undertaken in the history of science. Check it out on http://www.coml.org/

This footage is just amazing.
Check out John Delaneys’ talk about building an underwater network of high-def cameras and sensors that will turn our ocean into a global interactive lab — at TED.com. I get goose bumps thinking about the vast possibilities in monitoring the world below the ocean surface.
Guri & Hoptimist Leaving Copenhagen

Currently on-board a ship heading for Oslo leaving Copenhagen and Roskilde for a while.
I do feel kind of sad leaving Roskilde this time. Everything hasn’t exactly turned out as planned, but we got some quite interesting results I think. I’ll feed some of these into the Roskilde Science page in due time. Right now I’m just enjoying sailing home spending time with my new friend Hoptimist. Morten got him for me as a farewell present. I suspect he knows that I’m going to need some cheering up while processing all our data and trying to get together something resembling a PhD-thesis ;) Morten has been tremendous!!! What a supervisor!!! :)
