I love every part of being a chef on the ship, but if I had to pick a favourite one, that would be making desserts of different types every day!
Dexter: Callie, my favourite part of being a chef is making the crew and the science party happy with the meals we prepare!

Why did you chose to work on the ocean?

If we consider a human and a fish; both have fairly similar eyes, but a good eye for use under water is a little different than a good eye for use in air. Think about how well your eyes work when you open them underwater in a swimming pool. The difference is primarily in how the cornea and lens help to focus an image. Squid and octopus eyes are also similar in overall structure to humans, but when you look at the details they are really very different. The copepods I am studying on this cruise have far fewer cells to capture light than does a human eye. But, the cells they do have appear to be very sensitive to light. So, a “good eye” really is one that provides the sensory information an animal needs.

I agree, the food onboard the AE is awesome! Compliments to the chefs!
Also, nice Mahi Mahi catch by Jake!

Do marine organisms eyes work the same as our eyes?

How does the ocean effect climate change?
I didn’t know it could.
