#EyesOnThePrize

[mbari-blog]

We’ve got our eyes on you 👀

Using 3D imaging and computational modeling, researchers from The University of Western Australia, the UWA Oceans Institute, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, and MBARI compared the structure and function of the eyes of hyperiid amphipods, shrimp-like crustaceans that dwell in the dim waters of the ocean’s twilight zone. 

Hyperia has evolved eyes that keep watch on a wide field of view but can only visualize objects nearby. Phronima—commonly known as the barrel amphipod—can see well into the distance, but at the cost of a very narrow field of view. Phronima has solved this problem by evolving a second pair of eyes for wide, but poor, peripheral vision. 

Learn more about the barrel amphipod in our Animals of the Deep gallery.

"Black American Freedom Fighters" By Gregory V. Boulware WordPress, 2013

"What is a man who does not try and make the World better?" 'Black American Freedom Fighters' “And wo, wo, will be to you if we have to obtain our freedom by fighting… I declare to you, while you keep us and our children in bondage, and treat us like brutes, to make us support you and your families, we cannot be your friends!" https://www.academia.edu/113880204/Black_American_Freedom_Fighters

The 1619 Project Further information: Slavery in the colonial history of the United States The 1619 Project was launched in August 2019 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in the British colony of Virginia. In 1619, a group of "twenty and odd" captive Africans arrived in the Virginia Colony. An English privateer operating under a Dutch letter of marque, White Lion, carried 20–30 Africans who had been captured in joint African-Portuguese raids against the Kingdom of Ndongo in modern-day Angola, making its landing at Point Comfort in the English colony of Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1619_Project

I’ll prove to everyone that I’m worth it and that I’m going to work hard for my future until I’m satisfied with the results. I predict a lonely road to success, but I can make it.

focus on the goal, not the distraction.....🎯🏆🚀

[chaplaincate]

#DontYouDare let regret keep you from progressing. Not even for a moment; but look ahead with determination and go forward. The enemy wants to distract you with trivial things that have no Kingdom (or Spiritual) worth. Your complete attention, a steadfast spirit, a clean heart and single focus is needed in order for you to do your supreme best. People who have no vision will never understand yours. So keep your #EyesOnThePrize and #StayFocused. #YouGotThis and #GodsGotYou. Remember Philippians 3:13 and Make it a great day. #ChaplainCate💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkkKUUuiafBO94bLS5heGaa4u-Xg8oOv8Xsek0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Keeping all eyes on the prize 👀

Many of the animals that live in the dim waters of the ocean’s twilight zone have evolved powerful eyes that allow them to detect prey, mates, and predators in the dark. New research by scientists at The University of Western Australia, UWA Oceans Institute, and Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History—including MBARI Adjunct Karen Osborn—explores the unique visual system of shrimp-like hyperiid amphipods.

Hyperiid amphipods have evolved remarkably diverse eyes, each with different functional capabilities. While these amphipods are a relatively small group of crustaceans, the diversity of their eyes rivals that of terrestrial insects. Understanding their eye structures may one day help us develop new technologies for seeing in dark environments like caves, outer space, and the deep sea.

Spooky month ship tournament announcement!

This poll tournament has been inspired by @itsnotmourn spooky month shipchart, most of the ship names come from there so go check it out.

It has also been inspired by other blogs like @confessions-sm and @smpolls

What is this tournament about?

Well, its about a ton of ships fighting in polls to determine which is the supreme ship. I realized that there were several ship tournaments on Twitter but none on Tumblr, so here it is!

This has been done for pure fun so don't be rude with each other please.

This also has been done by someone who had the idea at 4 am in the morning so sorry if its messy.

How many ships are here?
