A dump of photos from this evening's sunset at Big Beach in Ucluelet. Lately I've been trying to limit my photo posts to 1 or 2 shots but I just couldn't cull that many... There was light, waves, birds and I brought out my "good" gear. Hope you like some of them.

A few moments from a new, 16 minute long, widescreen video I just shared. It features storm watching moments from #Tofino, #Ucluelet and Long Beach earlier this month.

It's all shot from the ground with just the camera audio so you can imagine you're standing in a #VancouverIsland storm!

Scientists should graduate ready to share what they know, effectively. Even the top science programs in our country do not require science communication and public engagement for their graduates. This is dangerous. Let's change the future. Sign the petition to make a difference: bit.ly/3LbnfHB
