One of the things I find amazing is how little we've studied the deep ocean, considering all the undiscovered sushi swimming around down there. All you have to do is tie some weights to stuff and throw it overboard. Way less hassle than a Mars rover, and more likely to find lifehttps://twitter.com/DrAndrewThaler/status/1406968271128121349 …

My favorite example of how much is still undiscovered is northern Australia, where there are dozens of undiscovered species of stick insects that live in the middle of boring suburbs. They're just so good at mimicry it's almost impossible to find themhttps://www.pri.org/stories/2016-02-20/giant-stick-insect-so-rare-only-three-females-have-ever-been-found-wild …

Or even just how life works. It seems like we really don’t have a good understanding about how small things can effect us and larger ecosystems outside of things that cause disease. I often wonder how many microorganisms we might not know of that we’re entirely dependent on.
