Incredibly nerdy paper, but should be useful I think. This was a product of a pre-SEB writing retreat a bunch of had in Czechia last year.

Area burned in Canada for 2025 is now at 5.6 M ha exceeding the total for the entire 2024 fire season. This fire season is not as bad as 2023 that had 9.37 M ha burned by July 12, 2023. However, 2025 is a very active year with 365 fires out of control and 2 months still left in the fire season.

I’m excited to share my research in the Open Animal session today at #SEBconference! I’ll be speaking from 12:15-12:30 in the Nightingale rooms, come along for a chat about how SMR does (or doesn’t!) change with different life history traits in #fish 🐟

Out today in Nature, our paper on the drivers of the record 2023 summer heating of the North Atlantic. Temperatures warmed to record levels in just a few months. The impacts on climate & ecosystems were severe. A thread on how this work came about and what we found.👇👇🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations to PhD student Connor Stewart for presenting his thesis work at #SETACVienna on the effects of Ni on Arctic Biota. And shout out to our team currently in the Arctic! @beardydylan.bsky.social

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

🌍 #SETACVienna kicks off today! Professional training courses have already begun as of 8:30 a.m. CEST, and the Opening Ceremony will be at 17:30 CEST. Let’s kick off a great week of science, networking and collaboration in Vienna! 🇦🇹 #SETAC #SETACEurope #EnvironmentalScience

I just returned from Antarctica: climate change isn’t some far-off problem – it’s here and hitting hard | Jennifer Verduin

When the HHS Secretary is telling the American public that trusting expert scientists is not a function of democracy, it’s well and truly over for science in the USA. I can’t stress this enough. If scientific expertise is believed to be an enemy to democracy, we are finished. Complete catastrophe.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

We are launching Contaminants, Environment, and Society and need an Editor-in-Chief to guide its vision! If you have expertise in environmental contaminants, a strong research network, and a commitment to open science, we want to hear from you! ▶️ ow.ly/OQHn50V7Bcx

There are going to be Stand Up for Science events this Friday in DC and around the country. Gotta do what we can to be heard.

Graduating during the pandemic slowed down my process and is part of why I did two postdocs. Now as a first year faculty, all the federal grants are frozen. I love the work I do but this has all of us questioning how much www.science.org/content/arti...

happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!! 👩🏻‍🔬🧪🌎 women continue to face systemic barriers in STEM and it is imperative we continue to address the large gender gap in science we absolutely need the brilliance, tenacity, and innovations of women to face challenges such as climate change

Looking for Recommendations: I want to buy an underwater ROV from a CDN distributor. Need to get one with decent camera and power to maneuver in a Great Lakes nearshore environment, but reasonable price (<$10,000). Any recommendations? Ping @not-klaatu.bsky.social @iaglr.bsky.social 🧪
