It’s the first day of classes here at University of Washington! Instead, I’m having an awesome time out on the R/V Rachel Carson working on a project studying the effects of low oxygen zones on zooplankton in Puget Sound which inspired today’s comic. I encourage you to get to know your local zooplankton too…join the club!

For more information on zooplankton check out the Plankton Chronicles and use this handy guide to identify some Puget Sound zooplankton for yourself!
