I'm a novelist, essayist, and a writing consultant. I work in the writing centers at Columbia and Baruch University and explore research into the overlap of maker cultures and writing. My work with the Foldscope tends to focus on finding wild creatures in urban spaces and looking at how human works are shaped by the movements of the biosphere.

Such a lucky evening, I had to post twice. While doing a flashlight run of the critters in the seaweed, I found this crawling around on the surface.
Without question, it’s a barnacle cyprid looking for a place to settle down and call home. Back into the water it goes to continue its search, but I say again, I should never utter the phrase “not much is living in there.”
Tom, enjoy!
