Every night, some crustaceans migrate upwards, up to 1000m from the twilight zone, to feed. They poop on the way down, transferring nutrients to deeper waters. Other species or larval stages maintain depth in the water column by riding gelatinous zooplankton! #Crustmas 🧪🦑

Do you have a PhD but work outside of academia? Has it been several years since you finished? A friend and I are working on a book chapter about career transitions (what makes them easy, what makes them difficult) and we're capturing info. If you're interested, consider filling this out and boost!
