Blog and Twitter
I used to blog at The Oyster's Garter about the ocean, marine biology, and issues of the day. I also blogged at Double X, a women-focused spinoff of Slate Magazine. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to blog due to the demands of graduate school, but you can still follow me on Twitter at @oystersgarter.
Here are a few examples of my informal writing from each of my blogs:
Why There Are No Pictures of the North Pacific Trash Gyre (October 23, 2007). This is my most popular piece, having garnered over 130,000 hits to date.
A "Novel" Take on the Climate Change Report (June 25, 2009). Five humorous faux-literary vignettes summarizing the main points of the United States Global Research program's 2009 report.
From Walden Pond to the North Pacific Gyre (August 20, 2009). In which I contemplate why people care so much about plastic in the North Pacific Gyre.
