So, I find that my students get a lot of their "news" and certainly their "entertainment" from YouTube, for better or worse. Today one student pointed me to this video from Russia Today: http://youtu.be/r-0gtkRB90w. While it is pretty interesting- what a weird creature!- I was of course sceptical and wanted some more information. I also would rather read my information than get it from a video, but that might be a function of my age. So I found the "print" article: http://www.rt.com/news/abyss-alien-creature-jellyfish-004/. I was thinking it looked like a jellyfish myself, and MSNBC dug up a few experts who say it is: http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/11/11665712-the-verdict-is-.... Pretty cool! This reminds me that I can't wait to see more data from James Cameron's recent dive to the Mariana Trench. So much neat science going on these days!
