JOIDES Resolution Diary 5/27/23

Dear Diary,

​On this expedition, the only thing for sure is that nothing is for sure. Plans have been changing on a minute by minute basis and I find it difficult to keep up with the moving goal posts on science, operations, and logistics. It’s exhausting.

I leave my office to work out in the gym and when I get back I have to wait for the Scuttlebutt (that means ship gossip) to find out how our plans have changed, what things are sensitive to talk about, or which spaces on the ship to avoid because things just seem tense.

​Good thing I’m really talented at being awkward and trying to break the ice…
