This is me emailing mycologists to ask if they want to sequence any of the unusual mushrooms I found.

Animals are so much more chill when there are no predators. I took a vacation in Galapagos a few years back and most of the wildlife is like this, they just kind of stare at you for a second and go about their day.

Penguins do have predators in the leopard seals in the antarctic, but because they're the only bipedal animals down there they seem to view people as kinda just big penguins. They seem more than happy to jump into boats with people if they think there's a seal around or something.

And for their part, the seals also seem to view us as a curiosity or small seal. I know of at least one case where a seal tried to teach somebody how to hunt by bringing them fish and injured penguins like they would for a baby seal.

Sure, submit a research proposal by the end of this week.

Submits request to inquire/study how the higher salinity in the water will effect the health of local organisms.

Proposal includes a test control group where you feed/water half our waddle with krill, fish, and the occasional squid sourced from closer to the equator and the other half with the same locally sourced. You can do tests every so often to verify the impacts upon our bodily systems and see if our glands can filter out the increased salt.

*Hopefully we get free food out of this
