This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

Pasta was found by an uber driver in Philly before going to ACCT before coming to us for foster through Fishtails Animal Rescue - she’s so cute & our cats are having fun with her. She’s a good kitten, but she’s going to make a great cat! #philly #cats #kittens #pasta

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

It’s early June but my garden is blooming already 👀 #gardening #climatechange

An extinct wombat…the size of a hippo? According to new research, you read that right. Plus, scientists have long thought that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies were on a collision course. Is it actually true? 🌌

share the money pigeon for 10,000 years good luck 💸🍀🤞

Several tornadoes swept across Oklahoma and Arkansas on Monday as part of a menacing storm system that forecasters warned was capable of producing large hail, damaging winds and flash flooding in several areas.

No, global temperatures are not "rising faster than climate models seem able to explain". They are rising EXACTLY as fast as climate model predicted. AND THAT'S BAD ENOUGH! bsky.app/profile/mich... #TruthIsBadEnough

Spreading the word that for this local election in Upper Darby, PA area: this incumbent candidate is not a democrat - she’s a republican that cross-lists in the primary bc she can. Also has no formal legal education. Is a realtor by profession. Vote for #GabbyColemenforMDJ #election

It will cost an extra $714 billion in tariffs to bring shoes, TVs and all other imports into the U.S. under President Trump's tariffs, a new analysis of trade data shows. nyti.ms/4j5bD4U

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵

There's more happening than coincidence. This just didn't happen at this severity and scope under Biden. It's likely not a single issue deal, but a multifaceted problem that has quickly developed.

Trump has dismissed the director of the Office of Government Ethics. David Huitema, the former director, played a key role in vetting Trump administration appointees for conflicts of interest.

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth so it’s a good time to celebrate the extraordinary mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). 🧪🐡👩🏾‍🔬🧮 #histsci One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex 🧵

Reminder! Science IRL mini-grant applications are due February 14! These grants are to support IN PERSON science communication projects in the US that reach science disinterested people, and ideally encourage concrete action in the audience. Apply here! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Happy Black History Month. Listen to, support, fund, and uplift Black people. #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth Black journos: go.bsky.app/QvS5FNb Black scientists: go.bsky.app/Ao3Qt9a Black academics: go.bsky.app/RyKSzcb Black democracy experts: go.bsky.app/6WTBzhX Black in tech: go.bsky.app/2RAbS3g

The first ever US national nature assessment has been terminated and its USGCRP and DOI webpages have been removed. A PDF of the zeroth order draft is still available here: review.globalchange.gov/system/files...

Here’s something else to think about: this ad for pizza I saw outside a Centra in Ireland. #pizza #ireland #whatishappening

Let’s be clear here: it’s not a “conflict” it’s an invasion of Russia into Ukraine and Ukraine is defending itself. Putin wants imperial Russia to be a thing again, that’s what this is.

It’s Caturday over here #cats #caturday

Did you turn off Meta’s ability to tailor ads bc you don’t want them using your data for it? are you also getting bombarded w/ conservative ads & misinformation? I’ve had my ad data turned off for a while (before Jan 20) & the increase in conservative ads makes insta unusable 🫠 #meta #instagram

More from inside NIH: Per a source with knowledge, for all internal research (of which there is like $10 billion worth or so), ALL purchasing shut down as of yesterday. That means gloves, reagents, anything involved with lab work, which means a lot of that work will stop.

Just missing the slightly warmer weather this week. A tree from one of my dissertation field sites in fall 2024 #trees #cemeterybiodiversity

Not only that, but much of the science community here is already stronger and larger than it was on X. On Twitter, my feed of scientists who study climate-related topics topped out at 3300. Here, we’re at 4500 already and it’s still growing. Pin here: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Wonder why 👀😂

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Re-upping this one:

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

Listen up.

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

What a year, huh? (Sub Wednesday for January) #tiktokban #climate #hottestyear #ceasefire

Good analysis of why fact checking on social media matters in a world where false claims are sticky + go viral so fast. But no mention of how X + Meta have altered their algorithms to suppress expert accounts & factual info. Fact checking on those platforms isn’t a level field. It’s a steep cliff.

We're excited to share another post-doc opportunity with @michaelemann.bsky.social and The Nature Conservancy at @upenn.edu! Please see posting for more information. web.sas.upenn.edu/viest-instit...

Anyone else sign up for rednote in response to the potential TikTok ban? Curious what others are up to there. A cat tax for your thoughts:

Firefighter in California: “This is not a drill” Orange politician in Washington DC: “Drill, baby, drill”

"We can already see the devastating consequences of the warming we've already experienced," Mann said, "in the form of the apocalyptic wildfires currently ravaging Southern California."

In addition to pricey mansions, the homes of working-class people were also lost in the Palisades fire, including a mobile home park on Pacific Coast Highway. “It was rent controlled,” one resident said. “I had been there for 10 years in this trailer with an ocean view. I was so lucky.”

Realizing I joined a new platform at the same time I’m finishing up my dissertation - expect to hear more from me here after February 😅🙃 here’s a cat 🐱

We’re hiring a post-doc at PCSSM! Check out the post for more info.

On Tuesday at #AGU24 PCSSM supported our @mannresearch.bsky.social colleagues (and saw some puppies in the exhibitors hall). Still a couple of days left to see what PCSSM & MRG are up to! #AGU2024 #climatechange @michaelemann.bsky.social

AGU is not complete until you go find the cute puppies up for adoption 🥰 #AGU24 #AGU2024

Come say hi to me on Friday morning!

If you're not at #AGU24, the largest gathering of earth scientists in the world, and you're feeling some FOMO, don't worry: @kellyhereid.bsky.social has you covered. Here's her feed of "what's hot at AGU". Just pin and enjoy! bsky.app/profile/did:...
