Wow, what a stretch – despite Greece being a new work locale for me, the start of the ‘Return to Antikythera‘ expedition set in as old hat. As these things go, challenges are defined, solutions are identified, and then it comes down to putting together all the pieces with a degree of flexibility to meet…

While one mission has been triaged for a short time, mission…

The site, www.spiritscience.net recently released a piece describing 5 beautiful underwater cities – and these do indeed exist, or at least what remains of these cities that were once swallowed…

6 months of decompression

With the blink of an eye, it had been six months since I had last been in the water. The last time I had been dry for that long was over a decade ago, but under very similar circumstances – that is taking the necessary time to incubate a new idea and take steps towards…

a perspective on privatized science

After stumbling on a recent and timely New York Times article about the privatization of science, I thought it would make for a compelling Blog post to discuss the matter from ‘the bottom up’. The article describes several science and exploration initiatives underway that have been financed by private companies or individuals in more recent…
