IAGLR and dozens of other scientific societies have united on a call to action urging Congress to prioritize the integrity and funding of scientific research. By investing in science, lawmakers can help safeguard our future and foster an informed citizenry. www.ucsusa.org/about/news/s...

“You know what would fix your code? Paying attention to me instead.” - Peanut

I’ve never been nervous to fly before, but I’m seriously contemplating skipping out on going to a conference this year because I cannot drive there 😅😅

Last week me declaring I’d work hard to get my own funding because mine ran out is really laughing at this week me, let me tell you what

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Stop telling me to “make no mistake.” That’s not gonna happen. In fact I’ll be making more of ‘em now, just out of spite.

RP PLS! Iʻm hiring 3 postdocs at U Hawaiʻi to study yeast diversity and evolution, marine fungi, and the genomics of microbiomes in experimental foodwebs. All of these projects have existing datasets and LATITUDE to pursue individual interests and "blue sky" ideas www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5d7u4...

Global biogeochemical cycles are interconnected. Alterations to the carbon cycle are akin to inflation with too much money in supply. The same problem is happening with water - freshwater stocks are depleted as more enters the atmosphere, reinforcing climate forcing and driving intense rain events

I was told you should never declare a model as the “best” model. But nobody ever said I shouldn’t call it America’s Next Top Model. For context: it’s just a glm 😂

Hi Friends! We have an upcoming webinar on the Neoma, MC-ICP-MS, December 4th. Please sign up here if you're interested! event.on24.com/wcc/r/476016...

I’ve logged back in, so let me promote our latest paper on the pesticides in stormwater ponds that accumulate in biofilms —> turns out those biofilms are bad food for bugs! #ecology #biodiversity www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Please share, and help me find a #PhD student to study #ecosystem #engineers and their role in #ecological #restoration

Honestly so excited to get back into talking about science, now that so many more have migrated over 😊

So happy to finally get this out there! This was a collaborative, grad student-driven project outside the bounds of our dissertation research, but very much a passion project for each of us. Lots of tangible resources are included - check out Hannah's summary!

💧If you use a MIMS with a furnace, and you’re sad you lost your oxygen data, you may be in luck! We found that even with a furnace scrubbing >99% of the O2 from a sample, it was still sensitive enough to measure O2!💧 In L&O Methods (and OA!): doi.org/10.1002/lom3...

We are looking for a new colleague to join our EEB group at IU.

I’m working on a manuscript (as one does), and I definitely left work last night after stopping in the middle of a sentence. Do I remember what I was going to write? Nope.

As someone with a PhD, who spends much of their working days interacting with people with PhDs, I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a good thing or not

It’s not a real ASLO meeting until we get Roxanne to sing, and I stand by that 💧

Cool "The S-layer of the marine AOA Nitrosopumilus maritimus acts as a multichannel cation exchanger and, due to its gradually increasing negative charge, leads to the accumulation of ammonium ions on the cell-facing side of the S-layer" #MicroSky 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The phosphorus is phosphorus-ing, and the work from home supervisor is supervisor-ing.

Building fires: don’t recommend. However it does come with some upsides: specifically watching a southern cat experience her first snow ❄️

Yes, I'm a mineralogist. Yes, the only way I can remember that ruby and sapphire are both varieties of corundum is by thinking of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire 🧪⚒️ #geology #minerals

Hello, BlueSky! We are communicating on behalf of the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) & are excited to connect with new & old freshwater friends here! In the meantime, we'll share a soon-to-be-favorite river of many SFSers after #2024SFS in Philly: www.americanrivers.org/river/delaware-river/

An incredible amount of sediment conveyed in rivers around #Acapulco following #HurricaneOtis, as viewed by Planet satellites on Oct 23 and 26. 🧪⚒️

I’m so excited for you! Glad I could help 😊

I made a Water Science 💧 Feed! I already added some folks to it and am slowly figuring out how to add more folks, but if you use "hydrology", "watersci", "waterscience" or the 💧 it should pop up in the feed! If you can't find it, let me know and I'll try to add you!

Happy #NationalComingOutDay to all those that are out, who can't come out, and are questioning! All are valid and safety is important! 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride To those that don't need to 'come out', this is a forever process of needing to always 'come out' to new people and at new places.

Hey Seattle area! Did you feel the earthquake at 7:21 PM? Or did you miss it? Either way, why not do some citizen science and fill this out? This helps constrain how far the effects were felt! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

It’s an awkward angle for sure, but behold the pumpkin loaf 🎃

Science on Bluesky is growing rapidly! Science friends, introduce yourselves below and I’ll share! Who are you? What do you work on? Where are you based? I’ll go first. I’m David, and I study sharks and their conservation. I’m based in the Washington, DC area. 🧪🦑🌎🦈🐡

1/3 Hiiii #science community!! I am post-doc hunting and wanted to introduce myself and my research interests☺️ I'm an aquatic ecotoxicologist who specializes in wetlands, sediments, and pesticides. I'm also a #STEMed enthusiast who is just as excited to be in the classroom!

How do #carbon & #oxygen change during connected, disconnected, & intermediate flow stages of a non-perennial #stream? New #openaccess paper led by recent PhD grad Kristen Bretz & coauthored by #wundergrad alumna Natalie Murphy tackles this question: doi.org/10.1029/2022... #WomeninSTEM #water 🌎 🧪

Is there a biogeochemistry specific feed? Should we make one?

There’s a reason I don’t choose to work from home very often, and it’s a very cute and distracting one:

Microbes are collectively one of the biggest forces shaping Earth, and yet undergraduate #geology students typically receive little training in microbiology. My new open access textbook seeks to help. “Microbiology for Earth Scientists” is freely available here newprairiepress.org/ebooks/53/

"One player is going to die,” a tennis player warned during his US Open match yesterday in brutally hot conditions 😱 My newsletter this week focuses on climate change is impacting sports, and how sports can be a positive force for climate advocacy and change. (Written before I saw that quote!)

I remember transitioning from the military to a masters student and then from a masters to a PhD student, but nothing has felt quite so weird as the transition from a PhD student to a postdoc. It’s like a fun, challenging puzzle that I’ve almost completed, but then my cat jumped up and scattered it
