Cool article on the work of Dr Neo Mei Lin. She's also written a book: "A Field Guide to the Giant Clams of the Indo-Pacific".

"“Knowing that I helped these clams to grow in the lab and then return to the reefs is an astonishing experience for me,” says the 36-year-old senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore’s Tropical Marine Science Institute."

@A_Passion_for_Jazz @jazz Buddy Rich knew something about #clams...

A group of #clams is called a flaccidity.
A flaccidity of clams.

For millennia, tribal communities along the Pacific Northwest have crushed the #shells of harvested #clams and mixed the fragments back into the beach. Now, scientists are studying how this practice could protect the clams from #oceanacidification.
