Friday afternoon happy place: there’s nothing like an outdoor lap swim with a pair of waterproof headphones for stress relief at the end of a long week! 😊

The average water level measured at Virginia Key (near #Miami) set a new monthly record high in October, which is also the new *all-time* record high month. I also feel confident that it was the highest monthly water level there since the last interglacial period... ~120,000 years ago. 🤯🌊🧪

No #OceanDevotion for a few days. I’m off the grid, in the hills, in the middle of nowhere, working on a book deadline. The pic does not do the beauty and serenity of this place justice. Need some ocean? Plenty of videos to enjoy on my YouTube channel. 😊

Good morning! It was a gorgeous, dramatic sunrise. Watch the #OceanDevotion video here and enjoy some peace & calm: youtu.be/FIfTML38p7U?...

Woot! It’s always nice to receive such recognition! I’m proud to have worked on all three of these books in some way, but especially proud of being co-author of PIKA COUNTRY—CLIMATE CHANGE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD. #kidlit #books #nonfiction .

Good morning! No #OceanDevotion sunrise this morning due to a 5am meeting, but I have something very special for you regardless! Ever wondered what it's like on an icebreaker in Antarctica? I filmed this on my first expedition. Sometimes you have to go back to go forward. Enjoy!

Each day on my afternoon walk, I pass this area with a bunch of baby water dragons. They’re so cute!

Sobering fact in my research today (backed by numerous reputable sources): the fast fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions, more than International aviation and shipping combined. A good reason to feel great about thrifting/op-shopping.

This is Pandora. She’s not a huge huntsman (Delena cancerides) yet, only about 3 inches across (legspan). She lives behind a painting in my mum’s lounge room and comes out at night to hunt bugs attracted to the light. She’s very tolerant of me getting close. We let her be to do her job.

If you don't monitor change, it's not happening.

Howdy #NewSkies. I'm a science writer and I've got a bunch of starter packs to share: Let's start with my fellow geeks. bsky.app/starter-pack...

As the spouse of a currently furloughed federal employee, I was already seething, but this makes my blood absolutely boil. That military—who along with their families already sacrifice so much—are working without pay right now? Unconscionable.

BUT it also spurs me into action, thinking, “What one thing can I do today to help our planet? What about this week? This year? Longer term?” Let painful moments spur you into action, lest we see more and more heartbreaks like this one.

As a birder this breaks my heart. As a citizen of this extraordinary planet, this breaks my soul.
