Episode Summary This month on the Deep-Sea Podcast we are joined by The Unseen Ocean Collective, this art and science collective comprised of Meghan Jones, Lara Beckmann, Nilanjana Das and Kierstin Keller are bringing the beauty and wonder of the deep-sea to the public through international art and science events.    Check out our lovely new website where you can find more detailed notes, images and links to the wider reading. In this episode… Welcome back to the Deep-Sea Podcast, your punk take on all things deep sea!    This month Thom is freshly back from a 5 week expedition to  Antarctica with Aurora Expeditions, managed 4 ESCA deployments in 24 hours and watched in amazement while Kat fended off a large iceberg with her bare hands and a boat hook. Alan had a great time with old friends, may have played hookey on a podcast record, and spent 2 weeks in Antigua listening to ‘80’s hair metal. We get an update from Monty on Chimaera mating, and get to hear about the forever home for the “I am your tongue now” mug from @fibreandmud.    In the news, get ready for updates on: Redefining our understanding of sinking carbon Cancer-fighting sponges New branch of life discovered New film on bioluminescence Mystery whale revealed through skin fragment Discord update Tongue-eating louse asked for autograph, shyly declines The “I Am Your Tongue Now” mug finds new forever home Lost Alan- reward $100 Baby Paddlefish, deep-sea dreams, Alvin maintenance Squid hunts, deep-sea accessories, shark cartoons and more!
