@tabbysiegfried: I told you there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for all the bruises… 😂🐢 Turns out when your coworkers are fiesty, ungrateful loggerheads with very strong opinions about being handled, you occasionally take a flipper (or five) to the thigh. Occupational hazard. Still the best coworkers I’ve ever had. 💙🐢 And yes… they hit MUCH harder than you’d think. 😂 As always wearing my @Crocs for my marine biologist shoe of choice! #womeninmarinescience #womeninoceanscience #seaturtlerelease #seaturtles #marinebiologist
