🌊 “We may be witnessing a fundamental reorganisation of life around Antarctica. Tiny algae at the base of the Antarctic food web are changing in ways that could ... alter how the ocean helps regulate our climate.” — Dr Alex Hayward ▶️ aappartnership.org.au/shifting-fou...

‘Don’t burn bridges’ they tell you. Listen here: a bridge provides access. ANYONE who treats you poorly does not deserve access to you. Protect your peace and respect yourself; burn the bridge 🔥

Anyone have funding ideas for getting a Canadian graduate student to an American university? The NSERC CGS D grant isn't a possibility, and I'm already planning to submit an NSF for potential graduate funds.

Very proud to announce that our new paper is out in Nature Communications! rdcu.be/ehvip Special thank you to my coauthors: @triptychphrases.bsky.social @hl-ford.bsky.social @erinmcclimate.bsky.social Paul Valdes and Alex Farnsworth

Earth’s atmosphere is getting thirstier. New research from @agrohydrology.bsky.social & Mike Hobbins explores how this thirst is affecting crops. eos.org/research-spo...

Aspiring entomologist Leah Rosenheim loves insects. 🦗🐜🪳 She began researching praying mantises in high school -- and just had her results published in the journal "Ecology and Evolution." Read more: tinyurl.com/yc784eyr

An internal memo this week directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to cancel existing grants and stop disbursing promised funding under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, which helped communities prepare for hazards and disasters. eos.org/research-and...

Welcome our newest addition to the fleet! ⛴️ We're excited to announce the arrival of our new flagship vessel, R/V David Packard, at our headquarters in Moss Landing, California. This state-of-the-art ship will expand our capacity for ocean exploration. Learn more: www.mbari.org/news/mbari-e...

Check out the interview I did for the @profilesafr.bsky.social! I discuss my research mainly in the context of #ScientificOceanDrilling and conducting science at sea aboard the JOIDES Resolution. Check out this podcast for more interviews with STEM scientists!

My PhD student, Jeanette, wrote this fabulous blog post about her MS research using benthic foraminifera to look at ecosystem changes associate with the Deep Water Horizon oil spill speakingofgeoscience.org/2025/03/13/d...

When the edible hits and it’s also the Ordovician.

My Obituary of Elisabeth Vrba—out today in Nature in read-only format: rdcu.be/ediyO

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Did you see "DEI" written into the federal grant you're reviewing, no you did not it absolutely was not there I have no idea what you're talking about.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

"If you ever wanted to conduct a social experiment to see 25 scientists slowly revert to childlike behavior over a 2-month period, the JR would be a great laboratory." A great valedictory for JOIDES from @greco-glacial.bsky.social, @adrianerlam.bsky.social, & Gryphen Goss. eos.org/opinions/exp...

@science.org just published this article about the Paleontological Research Institution and its importance in this time of financial crisis for the institution. Please share widely as donations in any amount can make a real difference in the short-medium term. ⚒️🧪🦑 www.science.org/content/arti...

Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

Two senior male faculty members tell me I’m ’ungrateful’ for department support, and when I ask when I said that, they say ‘it comes off that way’. So what do we think that’s code for? I’m too loud and outspoken for a young woman faculty member?

AccuWeather: between LA fires, hurricanes & other weather disasters, the US has suffered $693 to $799 billion in total economic damages over the past 12 mos, equaling nearly 3% of GDP. But remember, it’s the energy transition that’s expensive

Our paper is not through Peer Review, but here's a new blurb from Nature on it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

2 yr postdoc w/Dr. Laura Cotton @ Natural History Museum of Denmark on micro- and nannoplastics from historical expeditions to reconstruct what happened to plastics in the ocean from the 1950s-1970s, using sediments & agglutinated foraminifera. Deadline Jan. 17th! jobportal.ku.dk/videnskabeli...

Still a hill I will die on: unpaid internships are classist, and whilst you might *think* you are "helping students gain experience" all you are doing is widening the gap between those that can afford to and those that cannot.

Just two scientific ocean drilling scientists repping the last two expeditions to take place on the legendary JOIDES Resolution #Exp402 #Exp403 #SciOD

You can’t spell epicontinental without ‘epic’

We did an experimental study on the effect of emailing representatives as part of a climate campaign, and one of the take-homes was that analog interactions are more effective. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I just saw an Easter ad so it's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter....

To add, “We agreed more or less on one universal language” is hogwash. English was forced on much of the globe by colonialism & unspeakable violence. Those same forces now making it “required” doesn’t mean it was universally agreed upon (it wasn’t). It’s an indictment of who gets counted as “we.”

Happy International Women’s Day 💃🏽 Let me share with you a few inspiring women I know here 💜 Go follow them 🥳 Not only are they badass amazing professionals AND humans, they also share insightful perspectives and great resources: @emsaurios.bsky.social @adriguatame.bsky.social 👇🏽+ in the replies

“you can’t be a great scientist and not be a creative person. The idea that the creative industries are solely for the arts and humanities is a modern fallacy.” 🧪🐡 #histsci

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the anti-MDPI viewpoint is pretty blunt, given they have some legitimate journals that serve some otherwise underserved communities… This and other threads suggest the global north has a different viewpoint…
