Wallace J. Nichols visits Earthwatch

J Nichols loves turtles. And that's an understatement - he's so passionate about turtles that he even has one tattooed on his arm!

J has been working with with Earthwatch since he first got funding from us for his doctoral research on sea turtles in Baja, and we always love to have him stop by and talk with us about his work and tell field stories.

J spoke at the kickoff to our Beat the Heat Campaign last night at the Museum of Science in Boston: view link

and today he came to the Earthwatch office for lunch. I guarantee that you only have to listen to him talk about working with the Baja fishermen and sea turtles for 5 minutes, and you'll want to get out there yourself!

He's currently a research on our Black Sea Turtles project: view link

Have any of you been on one of his teams? Anyone signed up for one?
