So excited for your defense @breckmccollum.bsky.social ! Can’t wait to see all the awesome work you’ve done :)

A preprint of our paper on #CausalInference in #Ecology - Best practices for moving from correlation to causation in ecological research - led by Hannah Correia is now up as a preprint ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... 🧪🌍 This came from a GREAT workshop last year, and gives a solid framework and howto

Just incredibly proud of Taylor Kielczewski's honors poster on determinants of #kelp distributions in Long Island Sound from working with @lexiwilkes.bsky.social. Fantastic work!!!

After a lot of hard work, the Global Ocean Observing System #GOOS Bio-Eco panel has released their Essential Ocean Variable spec sheets for expert review. If you're doing work with anything biological in the ocean, take a look at goosocean.org/news/call-fo... and give us your expert opinion! #IOOS

New #statistics #ecopubs @esajournals.bsky.social: Predictive models are indeed useful for causal inference doi.org/10.1002/ecy.... Sounds like a response to 'Predictive models aren't for causal inference' doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Curr. Biol. (2025) 10.1016/j.cub.2024.12.025  Kelp forests are integral + critical to aquatic ecosystems, but species such as giant kelp + bull kelp have experienced population bottlenecks in recent decades.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Cheer your #WomeninScience on today. They need it!

Website is still under construction but worth it to keep checking for those interested in science advocacy and how to join local teams👇🏽 #standupforscience2025 #sciencenotsilence #scienceforall

A show of support to the scientists and staff at NOAA. This is among the best collection of scientists in the world who provide an invaluable public service via data and forecasting. Their work proves essential for daily operations of the military to commerce to the rest of the private sector.

What would happen if key ocean currents that bring warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic collapse? Temperatures in northern Europe would drop drastically, studies suggest. Our full story on the risks of AMOC collapse: www.bbc.com/news/article...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

A really beautiful and inspiring thread for anyone who needs a reminder that despite everything going on focusing on joy is so crucial. I know I needed the reminder. Thank you for sharing @mishellbaker.bsky.social💛

Very excited this paper is now out in Ecology Letters onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... #causalsky

Exciting opportunity - Last minute call for nominations for experts and fellows for the #IPBES methodological assessment of integrated biodiversity-inclusive spatial planning and ecological connectivity Fellows: www.ipbes.net/spatial-plan... Experts: www.ipbes.net/spatial-plan...

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her — bravely declining anonymity was incredible.

Scientists Question the Use of “Tipping Point” Metaphor in Climate Change Discussions (from Rutgers Today)

Recently we’ve had an out pouring of papers warning of a higher-earlier likelihood of AMOC collapse. It’s due to studies now better factoring in fresh water melt from Greenland. Here’s a simplified animation on how it works & an article about a new study. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and NOAA Announce $139 Million in New Grants to Support Coastal Resilience Projects https://buff.ly/4hZNkpb 🦑 🧪 🌏

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today is the day we ‘finish’ accepting apps! Then we start getting the committee machinery going! The portal will still be open (we know there are stragglers), but, after today, we are going to crack into these beauties. From what I’ve seen, you all are amazing!

Nature-based solutions are a game-changer: buffering shorelines from storms, shading cities and protecting them from flood, boosting crops with less water and fertilizer, and even improving human health. They're powerful, underused--and the future. Meet the experts leading this vital work ⬇️

New to Bluesky and figured I should introduce myself! I’m a third year PhD student in @jebyrnes.bsky.social lab studying the environmental drivers that control kelp distribution in the GOM and how that distribution is changing over time. Looking forward to meeting and interacting with you all :)

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...
