Happy Larvalentine’s Day! Boxes of chocolates? Bouquets of roses? No. Nothing compares to the gift of larvae and their beauty. Here are some of our favorite larval photos taken for our #SALTLarvae project. #ValentinesDay #larvae #marinescience

The last blog post from our #Biofilms4Larvae cruise is finally out! Come learn more about what we found! wp.wwu.edu/arellanolab/categ… @WHOI @DeepSubLab @WWU #NSFfunded

Cruise by Numbers of our #biofilms4larvae cruise aboard the @RVAtlantis. An incredible international effort to study the vents at the EPR was a success! Can’t wait to return next year and do it again! #nsffunded #dsvalvin @WWU @WHOI

New blog post! Come learn about the worms that we encountered at the East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vents! wp.wwu.edu/arellanolab/categ… #nsffunded #Biofilms4Larvae #marinebio

Some more time-lapses of the EPR showing off the work we did and our incredible study sites! Thanks again to Dan Fornari’s MISO camera stills and a python script by Dr. Lauren Dykman! #biofilms4larvae #NSFFunded #wwu #marinebio

Congratulations to 12 new Alvin divers on our #biofilms4larvae cruise, including three members of the Larval Lab: Vanessa, Tanika, and Wyatt! Thank you for your hard work as aquanauts and a successful cruise! #nsffunded @WHOI @DeepSubLab @WWUResearch @WWU

New blog post! Come read about our unique holiday experience at sea! wp.wwu.edu/arellanolab/categ… #biofilms4larvae #nsffunded

Merry Shipmas! Science didn’t stop for the holidays but we made sure to make it festive! Thank you to the scientists and crew aboard @RVAtlantis for great food and events, making this a Christmas to remember! #biofilms4larvae #nsffunded

‘Tis the season! Spawning season! So cool to see Riftia pachyptila releasing gametes at Tica in the EPR! #biofilms4larvae

New blog post! Come learn about inactive vents, how we’re studying them and the life we’re finding! wp.wwu.edu/arellanolab/categ… #Biofilms4Larvae #marinebiology #dsvalvin
