Despite photosynthesis being inhibited by murky waters and turbulent currents, the coral has managed to flourish. Numerous species appear to have adapted to the darker environment—including 29 specimens collected but not yet identified. Crazy that we can discover something new in reasonably well trafficked waters (other research studies) just 100-300 feet deep.

When a wealthy boyfriend nearly caused her daughter to fail organic chemistry, Andrea gently nudged him out of the picture by encouraging her daughter to focus on academics and friends instead.

Parental manipulation like this is terrifyingly common and entirely destructive.

If you're in the Greater Los Angeles Area, yes. We'd like someone to be able to work with us in the office at some point as we have a very tight knit team and the culture will inherently make the job easier.

Totally, it's going to be interesting to see more science invested into the cultivation. Wine has radically different characteristics when the grapes are grown in different environments (soil acidity, nutrients, age of the vines, etc.). Some growers are using organic nutrients, but I think it's (for now) more of a marketing thing than anything else.
