Another week in review from #25DaysOfFishmas and today's #SundayFishSketch the Dolly Varden. The Borax Lake Chub is sporting a Womderbread logo because it is a wonder fish!

Alright scientists! It's that time again! Time to sign up for Skype a Scientist's spring semester. Want to get matched with a classroom in 2026? Sign up now 🥰 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Please use your voice and speak up! This is reckless!

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

Someone needs to hold FIFA accountable for this -- the World Cup is about bringing the world together through sport. Limiting attendance to only those with the financial means to pay exorbitant ticket prices only highlights how corrupt FIFA continues to be

I am still actively looking for postdoc positions — please lmk if you (or your friends and colleagues) need a hardworking postdoc with field, lab, and bioinformatic skills! I am broadly interested in evolution in the ocean, conservation and population genetics, and rapid evolution.

“If I had a wish, I wish everybody could put on a mask & snorkel and just sit there and watch fish.” @julielovesfish.bsky.social is making conservation more human and more heard. See more in #TomorrowsCatch: contentwithpurpose.co.uk/afs/tomorrow...

You better not cry, you better not trout, ‘cause Salmonid Claus is coming to town! 🎅🐟 On Day 10 of #25DaysofFishmas, we head to Arizona's White Mountains to meet the Apache Trout (Oncorhynchus apache), whose recovery isn't a #Fishmas miracle, but a result of over 50 years of people working together

The Army Corps and EPA's new Reckless Water Rule would slash federal safeguards for critical waters, including headwater streams and wetlands, that are an integral part of drinking water sources for 117 million Americans. 🔊 Speak up today! act.americanrivers.org/page/91637/a...

This is absolutely awful. This was one of the best resources for climate indicators data, and my go-to share for help answering public questions. Luckily I captured some of them on my new U.S. climate page a few months ago: zacklabe.com/united-state...

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This article highlights how so many scientists gatekeep access to science, and how it can result in people leaving the field or not even pursuing their dreams of being a scientist. Please give this a read to understand how we can all do better to make science more accessible and welcoming:

If you're not a biogeochemist but curious about why metal concentrations can double throughout a single sunny day (spoiler: photochemistry is wild), & how that affects rare earth elements (the stuff in your phones/EV batteries), I just wrote a plain language summary of our recent paper! #SciComm 🧪⚒️

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

I can’t promise this will be the last time I talk about inequity — or equity washing — in science. But after the multitude of responses to my Nature piece, I know something has shifted. Many came from the Global North. That alone feels like a small win. 👉 rdcu.be/eGEun

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper! We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media. Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑 doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Scientists of Bluesky, introduce yourselves by replying to this post and I’ll share it and help you get some followers! I’m David, I’m based in DC and study shark ecology and conservation policy. I’m the author of “Why Sharks Matter.” 🧪🦑🌎🐠🦈

One of the most promising areas of cancer research is CAR T therapy, in which a "living drug" is made by modifying a patient's T-cells. Research suggests that mRNA can improve the safety of CAR-T therapy because it prevents genome integration. Don't listen to RFK's lies about mRNA being unsafe.

Thank you to Friends of the Everglades for standing up against “Alligator Alcatraz.”

mRNA vaccines are one of the most important tools we have for preventing future catastrophic pandemics because we can update them more quickly than any other vaccine technology in response to new emerging viruses & variants. RFK Jr cancelling millions in mRNA research makes the world far less safe.

This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power. - Carl Sagan, Contact

I agree! As an early career researcher I have received some fantastic reviews that have not only helped improve my research, but also provided new perspectives and information that helped me grow as an ecologist and researcher. I applaud these reviewers and hope more folks will take this approach!

Proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation “would cause immense and largely irreversible damage to the successful American scientific enterprise,” write Jerry Kaplan and Dana Carroll in an op-ed.

PSA: It is ok — and necessary — to grieve right now

Wow. The EPA has placed 144 employees on administrative leave after the workers signed a public letter criticizing EPA leadership for disregarding scientific expertise and rolling back environmental and public health protections.

One of the most tragic things is that so many people that will be harmed by the Big Death Bill will be completely unaware about what just happened until it’s way too late and they can’t see a doctor or get a hospital bed in their time of need.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Trump’s budget bill is a disaster for public health. It’s the biggest cut to health care in history. 12 million people will lose health insurance. Hundreds of hospitals will close. 1 in 4 nursing homes will close. Millions more families won’t have enough food.

"You can't afford satellite TV, you can't buy cable, and they're alone. And so it is a lifeline. And what's great about this is that they feel connected," Ferrell said. "Public radio saves lives. The Emergency Broadcast System, without it, people would die." zurl.co/sdvxy #Louisiana
