“Pip loved watching undergrads picking their way through buckets of clams, cockles and pipis, trying to classify each species by the size and hue of the shell, counting basal threads dangling like silk, or holding a limpet up to the light and running their fingers over tiny yellow ridges skirting the shell, marveling at the perfect grey and white logarithmic spiral of the elephant snail.”

“I worked in the background for most of my career as a scientist, but I have absolutely no resentments. I thought I was lucky to have a job that was so interesting. Establishing the rift valley and the mid-ocean ridge that went all the way around the world for 40,000 miles—that was something important. You could only do that once. You can’t find anything bigger than that, at least on this planet.”
