Today marks the one year anniversary of the first Beach Chair Scientist post! Thank you all so much for all of your amazing contributions. Without your insightful inquiries the forum would not be nearly as entertaining. To mark this occasion I thought we would simply count down the top ten most visited posts over the […]

In college I built some eels ladders for a stream in southern New Jersey so these little critters do have a special place in my professional heart. Moray eels have the ability to tie their bodies in knots and use this to […]
