Great Questions Lead To Great Understandings!

    It’s wonderful to remember how much you can learn when you listen to the questions young people ask. Today I was able to finally meet Anvil City Science Academy teacher Heather Jameson in person, along with her principal Lisa Leeper, Superintendent of the Nome School District Shawn Arnold as well as students in several science classes at the school.

    I connected with Heather a few weeks ago and she was excited from the start to connect her students with authentic, present-day Arctic research! After a flurry of e-mails it was great to finally meet in person. I presented information to several of her classes with a focus on our upcoming research onboard the R/V Sikuliaq. Heather wants her students to follow our expedition so we thought it made sense to meet before we left port. That way they could all have a better base of knowledge before virtually joining us through our PolarTREC journals.

    The students had a lot of great question concerning the research, however the best question of the day, and what turned into an unexpected learning experience for me, came during the 7th/8th grade class, when one of the students asked me if I knew about the immortal jellyfish? I responded no, but it sure sounded interesting. Then a few students jumped in excitedly, talking about this amazing jellyfish that lives forever. Intrigued I told them I’d do some research and here’s what I found.

    "The good news is that you can be immortal. The bad news is that you have to become a floating blob of jelly to do so."

    I loved that quote from an article I read last night, so much that I had to include it. Quote credit: Immortal Jellyfish-The Creature That Defies Death. (n.d.). Retrieved August 23, 2017, from http://immortal-jellyfish.com/

    So the students had correctly identified quite an amazing organism! Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jelly fish, does have an ever lasting life. It’s able to reverse it’s aging process! If the Turritopsis dohrnii undergo a stress these jellies have the ability to transform all of their cells to a younger state. They actually revert to their juvenile phase and sink back to the ocean floor as a blob-like cyst or polyp, before beginning their life cycle all over again.

    Scientists are very interested in these jellyfish for use in medicine due to the ability of the organisms cells to transform from one type of cell, like a muscle cell, to any other cell in the organism, such as a nerve cell. Unfortunately while all this sounds great, there is a downside to the immortal jellyfish. They are considered an invasive species, in part probably because of their ability to rejuvenate themselves. Plus their size (4.5mm) allows them to hitch an easy ride in the ballast of ships and cross oceans. While believed to have originated in the Pacific, they are now found throughout most tropical and temperate oceans.

    Grandes preguntas llevan a grandes entendimientos!

    Es maravilloso acordarse cuanto puedes aprender cuando escuchas las preguntas que hacen las personas jóvenes. Hoy por fin pude conocer a Heather Jameson en persona, maestra del Anvil City Science Academy, junto a su directora Lisa Leeper, el superintendente del distrito escolar de Nome Shawn Arnold, al igual que a estudiantes en varias clases de ciencia del colegio.

    Me conecté con Heather hace algunas semanas y ella estuve emocionada desde el principio en conectar a sus estudiantes con investigaciones auténticas y actuales del Ártico. Después de miles de emails fue bueno por fin conocerla en persona. Presente información a muchas de sus clases enfocada hacia nuestra próxima investigación a bordo de la embarcación R/V Sikuliag. Heather quiere que sus estudiantes sigan nuestra expedición así que pensamos que tenía sentido que nos conozcamos primero antes de zarpar. De esa manera todos podrían tener una mejor base de conocimiento antes de juntarse virtualmente a través de nuestros diarios PolaTREC.

    Los estudiantes tenían muchas buenas preguntas sobre la investigación, pero la mejor pregunta del día, y que se convirtió en una experiencia inesperada para mí para aprender, fue durante la clase del 7/8 grado, cuando uno de los estudiantes me pregunto si sabía sobre la medusa inmortal? Le dije que no y que parecía algo interesante. Es ahí cuando algunos estudiantes se metieron a la conversación excitadamente, hablando sobre esta medusa increíble que vive para siempre. Intrigada, les dije que lo iba a investigar y esto es lo que descubrí.

    "Las buenas noticias es que puedes ser inmortal. Las malas noticias es que para serlo tienes que convertirte en una masa gelatinosa flotante."

    Me gusto esta cita del artículo que leí anoche tanto, que tenía que incluirla. Crédito de cita:Immortal Jellyfish-The Creature That Defies Death. (n.d.). Retrieved August 23, 2017, from http://immortal-jellyfish.com/

    Así que los estudiantes correctamente identificaron a un organismo increíble. Turritopsis dohmii, también conocida como la medusa inmortal, vive por siempre, tiene la habilidad de retroceder el proceso de envejecimiento! Cuando Turritopsis dohmii está bajo estrés tiene la habilidad de transformar sus células a un estado más joven. Regresan a su estado juvenil y se hunden al fondo del océano como una masa en forma de quiste o pólipo antes de empezar nuevamente su ciclo de vida.

    Científicos están interesados en esta medusa para uso médico gracias a la habilidad de las células del organismo de transformarse de un tipo de célula a orto, como de una célula de musculo a cualquier otra célula en el organismo, como una célula de nervio. Desafortunadamente, a pesar de que esto suene bien, hay un lado negativo de la medusa inmortal. Es considerada una especie invasora, en parte probablemente por su habilidad de rejuvenecerse. Además, su tamaño (4.5 mm) les permite obtener fácil acceso de transporte en el lastre de los barcos y cruzar océanos. Se cree que sus orígenes son del Pacífico, pero ahora se encuentran en los océanos tropicales y templados.

    Anvil City Sci…

    Captain: Have you guys crashed before?
    Steve or researcher: How much data can the technology on your ship hold? Example: Gigabytes/ terabytes

    Chief Scientist or researcher: Are you allowed to eat the fish you catch?

    Lisa: Do you guys have a medic or doctor onboard? If someone does get seriously injured what do you do to handle the situation?

    Mark D

    If the Immortal Jellyfish can make their cells go to a younger state, can scientist figure out a way to make humans immortal based on the information from the immortal jellyfish?

    Lisa Seff

    Question #1 to the Captain of the R/V Sikuliaq: Have you guys crashed before?
    Captain Forrest McMullen was happy to answer your question! The answer is: “Fortunately no!” He then explained the three phrases he’s always kept in mind as when piloting a ship.
    1) There are two kinds of pilots, fast pilots and old pilots.
    2) His dad always told him, “you never go faster than you want to hit it.
    3) And in a true emergency always land flat. In other words, don’t hit something head-on, try to turn your ship so you hit the object with your side, because pressure is force divided by area, therefore if you hit an object with the length of a side of a ship (vs. the narrow bow) the energy at impact is spread over a much larger area resulting in much less damage to both the ship and the object!  

    Question #2 to Steve or researcher: How much data can the technology on your ship hold? Example: Gigabytes/ terabytes

    Wow! That’s a great question.  Ethan, a super talented IT crew member would be the one to answer that question, but unfortunately he’s pretty busy at the moment, so I’ll give it my best shot.  In a way I guess the amount of data the ship can hold is somewhat endless.  The ship is linked to a website and their own “cloud” of sorts, so a lot of their data can be stored there.  We also have a special Ship to Shore folder that acts as a trickle feed to send large files (over 50mb) to shore.  Once there they can be uploaded by anyone with access.  For instance the video files I make to add to my journals can be stored on my laptop or portable storage unit I carry with me (which can hold up to 2 TB), however they take up to much bandwidth to upload to my journals (we’re only allowed to use 300mb per day) so I have to use the Ship to Shore folder.  It can take more than 24 hours for my videos to show up in the Shore folder after I’ve placed them in it from the ship.  Eventually people at PolarTREC, the host for our journals, will upload the video for me to youtube and then place it in my journal.  Additionally, almost every researcher brings with them their own computer and back-up hard-drive and we can all access a shared folder that’s available to us without the web-based internet.  Once I catch Ethan with a spare moment (he’s the main go-to-tech guy along with Dan) I’ll see if he has any additional information.

    In the mean time, you can check out quite a lot about the ship on this website: https://www.sikuliaq.alaska.edu/

    Question #3: Chief Scientist or researcher: Are you allowed to eat the fish you catch?  Dr. Joel Llopiz from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is the leader of Team Fish.  He and his research team jumped in on this question for you! During this research expedition all of the fish they're catching are used for science purposes only. They're primarily catching Arctic Cod which are an important part of the Beaufort food web.  However, we are very fortunate to have awesome cooks onboard and we get to eat salmon, rock fish, shrimp and halibut quite often for dinner.  
    Fun Fact: The oldest rock fish on record was caught a few years ago on a NOAA ship and it was alive when President Lincoln was assassinated!  WOW!  That fun fact comes from another branch of Team Fish, Dr. Mike Lowe from Louisiana State University.

    Question #4: Lisa: Do you guys have a medic or doctor onboard? 
    We don't actually have a doctor however several of the ships crew are trained to handle many health emergencies.  There is a small hospital onboard which remains locked unless someone is using it.  It contains medications and sensitive medical equipment.  Although we don't have a medical doctor directly on the ship, the Sikuliaq has the ability to link live with doctors and use remote medical diagnostics to diagnose and treat people with health issues while on the ship! And, they did ask for everyones blood type before we came onto the ship, so I'm assuming they also store blood supplies in the hospital.

    Thanks so much for the great questions Anvil City Science Academy! 
    safe seas!

    Hello

    Lisa Seff

    Hi Mark!I don't think they're looking at that exactly as the process the jelly fish goes through is pretty specific to it...imagine...your arms and legs would have to fall off, then your body shrink...don't see that happening and ending well.

    Hi Jaye-it is considered an invasive species...understandably...it never dies!  It catches rides in the ballast of ships.I'm assuming too many and like other invasive species...it might push native species out of an area.

    Hi Gregory-I don't think they actually make any medicines out of the jelly fish.  However I saw online that there are a lotof skin products that are supposed to contain them...which is pretty funny.  I don't think putting jelly fish on your face would really help you out much!

    Hi Rosa-I'm not sure how long the process takes, but it looked like at least 5 weeks in one article.  And, I don't think theyactively "think" to repeat the cycle, it sounds like it's more of a stress reaction.

    I wonder, can scientists figure out a way for humans to live longer based off the discovery of this jellyfish? Will transforming cells to a younger state even be theoretically possible in the future? I would love to find out.

    How was this jelly fish discovered to be immortal?

    Lisa Seff

    Hi Michael-I know right, that would be pretty wild!  It sounds like you might need to go into the science research field and figure it out!
    In the mean time....since this is definitely beyond my knowledge base, I thought this New York Times article gave some good information and I thought you might find it interesting:

    (: enjoy your Saturday and thanks for the thought provoking questions!
    Lisa

    Lisa Seff

    Hi Tifany! From what I can find out-and remember, these jellies, Turritopsis dohrniiare, are not known to be in the Arctic! Several students at the Anvil City Science Academy were interested in them, and then I found them super interesting too so I thought I'd write about them!  From what I can find out they were first discovered in the Mediterranean Sea in the late 1800's. but their "immortality" and cellular renewal wasn't discovered until the 1990's. I'm assuming that scientists figured out it's ability to regenerate itself while observing it during part of the actual "renewal" process.
    Pretty neat though isn't it?

    Hi Kimberly! Good question...I'm not sure but I believe there are about 60 students in grades 5-8.  They remind me of Springs students, all very
    nice.  So researchers (just not us!) are looking into several possible
    medical uses for these jelly fish. Here's a good NY Times article you

    Hi Corrina-hmmm, that's a good question, I'm not sure exactly how long they've been on the planet.  I know they were discovered in the 1800s and their "immortality" was discovered in the 1990's.  Here's a NY Times article that I found interesting!  I'd actually never heard of them before the students at the ACSA asked be about them. They are not from the Arctic.  I'm not sure if they sting or not, I haven't read anything about them having stinging cells, and they are super tiny.  They're about the size of the end of your little finger!(:

    Dear Mrs. Seff, I was wondering how many of these jellyfish exist? Are there many of these jellyfish or are there few left in the wild?

    Hi Daniel! Considering that they're somewhat "immortal" and they're very good at hitching rides in the sea water ballast of ships and populating new areas, I don't think they're in any danger of extinction!  In fact they are considered an invasive species!(:

    The jellyfish seem very cool and I wanted to know one thing about them. How long do they stay at the ocean floor before starting a new life cycle?
