"Love after Love" by Derek Walcott. A beautiful depiction, & yet also a reflection of how we treat the natural world 🪸 is in direct proportion to how we think about ourselves. And on the subject of authenticity, keep an eye out for updates on the upcoming research expedition to Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 🔬

🪸Yesterday I had the honor of visiting marine biologist & deep-sea diver Sonia Rowley, PhD, in her lab at UH Mānoa. Her research on deep-sea corals, marine biodiversity & evolution, and the extreme diving she does to study them, greatly inspires me!! What an experience! @soniajrowley.bsky.social
