There are a few courses that shaped the trajectory of my career. This is one of them. Take it if you can!
Fun opportunity for early career individuals at Friday Harbor Labs. Everyone I know who has taken or been involved in this course has a great time. Highly recommend.
Early students must take this!!

The Pacific spiny lumpsucker, an inefficient swimmer but a highly efficient suction cup. The pelvic fins have evolved into a strong suction disk on the belly, giving it the ability to anchor itself to substrates. Plate-like structures called "tubercles" provide defense against predators.
