Sifford Pearre is a retired biological oceanographer from the right coast. While active his two main areas of interest were diel (formerly “diurnal”) vertical migration (“DVM”) of aquatic organisms and trophic (diet) niche breadths of all kinds of things. As a retiree he feels entitled to speculate on what are euphemistically referred to as the “big questions”. Someone very important once said that in youth one should be a scientist (I believe the original said “mathematician”), then when too feeble for that, a philosopher, and at the last stage, a politician. Sifford has yet to run for any office.
