The Great Darwin Beard Challenge: Week 5
2009 March 24
For this edition of the Great Darwin Beard Challenge, participants were asked to pose in “the Colbert” with their research organism or with a piece of lab equipment that they regularly use.
For an excellent summary of the Great Darwin Beard Challenge so fara, including links to past posts, please click here.
We are down to four participants, which didn’t take very long…
This is Kevin of Deep Sea News with his Deep Sea Anemone friend
Our very own Andrew with his deep sea snail friend
Irradiatus with his microscope friend
And last but not least, to one one’s surprise, I am with my sandbar shark friend
That’s all for this edition of the Great Darwin Beard Challenge! We are moving to bi-weekly updates at this point.

Nice!
By the way – here is a picture of “The Colbert” pose (the above link doesn’t show the pose)
O NOES! Is David2 swimming with the fishes?
i guess, as a marine scientist, he’s doing the opposite of swimming with the fishes… walking with the tetrapods… got some styrofoam shoes… sent to Jesse Jame’s closet…
Damn, Dave! You’re one hairy mofo!
I’m Russian. We’re a hirsute people. It helps keeps us warm in Siberian winters.
Yeah David, your beard is by far the bushiest.
Seconded – man, that’s one hell of a beard.
Niiiiiiice….
When and where is the next installment of The Great Darwin Beard Challenge being held?
monday, right here
Can’t wait!
I’m looking a little scruffy. I could find some lab gear. Maybe next year.
