I'd love to co-develop project ideas on research involving paleoclimate, water isotopes, urban heat islands, coastal resilience, and/or work at the energy/climate nexus.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

Want to switch countries for a postdoc? Specifically, are you European, or are you non-European wanting to come to Europe? Now's the time to reach out to potential host labs! (It's very normal to cold-email a PI about potentially hosting -- don't be shy!)

A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.

🌊🧪 Marine snow particles sinking from the surface ocean are critical for deep sea food webs and the oceanic carbon cycle. How fast they sink determines how much carbon reaches the deep ocean, but measuring their speed directly in the field is a challenge in oceanography.

The color changing is amazing but what always gets me is they make their body’s texture look like rocks and coral. Fascinating. IG: ibrahim.elhariry

Fleeming Jenkin, mainly known for pointing out to Darwin that his model of heredity was incompatible with his theory of evolution, also played a role in the history of marine biology. From a review of Jeffrey Marlow’s THE DARK FRONTIER in this month’s Literary Review.

One of my favourite facts is that the spiky tail of a stegosaurus didn't used to have a specific name, until Gary Larson published this Far Side cartoon, at which point "thagomizer" was adopted by paleontologists.

Just heard on the latest episode of the Tetrapod Zoology podcast that John Conway is effectively “retiring” from paleoart for the foreseeable future to pursue other passions. I’m happy for him & hope he finds success, and also profoundly saddened by this news. #paleoart
