Craig McClain is the Executive Director of the Lousiana University Marine Consortium. He has conducted deep-sea research for 20 years and published over 50 papers in the area. He has participated in and led dozens of oceanographic expeditions taken him to the Antarctic and the most remote regions of the Pacific and Atlantic. Craig’s research focuses on how energy drives the biology of marine invertebrates from individuals to ecosystems, specifically, seeking to uncover how organisms are adapted to different levels of carbon availability, i.e. food, and how this determines the kinds and number of species in different parts of the oceans. Additionally, Craig is obsessed with the size of things. Sometimes this translated into actually scientific research. Craig’s research has been featured on National Public Radio, Discovery Channel, Fox News, National Geographic and ABC News. In addition to his scientific research, Craig also advocates the need for scientists to connect with the public and is the founder and chief editor of the acclaimed Deep-Sea News (http://deepseanews.com/), a popular ocean-themed blog that has won numerous awards. His writing has been featured in Cosmos, Science Illustrated, American Scientist, Wired, Mental Floss, and the Open Lab: The Best Science Writing on the Web.
Is it ok if I do something else while waiting for it?
Yeah me too?
Pfft.
I am going to sit right here and wait patiently, like I’ve been told.
*drums fingers on desk*
I’m getting bored. What if I look at pictures of squid or something while I’m waiting?
I’ll just read this copy of People from April 2007.
I’m getting a permanent marker pen & fill in the missing bits on the faces whilst listening to White Stripes….oh yeah…..
If it’s more than one editor, shouldn’t it be “From The Editors’ Desk”?
Aeolius,
Great question and open for debate. Each post from our new series will be authored by either Kevin or I. From a single editor’s desk. We will probably never coauthor these posts nor do Kevin and I share a single desk. So the question is it more accurate to state editor’s desk, editors’ desk, or editors’ desks?
So you’re saying there are two editors and two desks? Sounds like Editors’ Desks, though I guess you could say “From an Editor’s Desk”
