Huh. Unprecedented substitution of seafood species with non-aquatic species was found...Almost 60 % of shark products were identified as pork. "Face-off: Shark or pork? DNA barcoding authentication and labelling analysis of shark products"

Researchers have found the culprit behind sea star wasting disease “This is the discovery of the decade for me,” said co-author @drewharvell.bsky.social. "We have studied both the cause and the impacts of this disease for the entire epidemic." More: www.washington.edu/news/2025/08...

We are so proud of our sea star wasting work that came out today. This interactive article is very complete and includes beautiful videos. Unmasking the Sea Star Killer www.biographic.com/unmasking-th...

After years of work, a team of researchers with support from The Nature Conservancy have identified the causative agent of Sea Star Wasting Disease! Big implications for my work & an inspiring example of the amazing things we can do w/ science...plus I'm quoted in it ;) www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

BREAKING: Donald Trump officially terminated nearly half of all Education Department staff. This is an all-out assault on our public schools and Americans with student loans.

Why should Democrats support a “bipartisan bill” just for Republicans to turn around and delete the parts Donald Trump doesn’t like?

The era of climate migration is upon us. Residents of Tuvalu are slowly resettling in Australia. This is only the beginning… www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

Surely this will be the payment that finally gets the extortionist to stop demanding money

It’s Abu Ghraib all over again. But inside our borders.

The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals. The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

🧪Have a terminated NSF grant? Or been impacted by such a termination? Call your Senators, esp if they're Repub!! An amendment to restore killed NSF grants will later be debated on the *full Senate* floor, after it narrowly failed in committee today. 🧵 Brief thread 1/4

Contracts show that, in at least one instance, resources allocated for the state’s “disaster preparedness” apparatus were diverted to "Alligator Alcatraz" as DeSantis’ office used emergency powers to quickly establish the camp during hurricane season.

As I say here, “This document was written for the American people, paid for by the taxpayers, and it contains vital information we need to keep ourselves safe in a changing climate, as the disasters that continue to mount demonstrate so tragically and clearly.” More by @borenbears.bsky.social here:

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did? It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Nice summary and coverage of our recent Marine Policy paper on the new U.S. seafood executive order & other disruptive governance actions: news.ucsb.edu/2025/021937/... @jagephart.bsky.social

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's. And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today. Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

It is difficult to describe just how disastrous it would be if just-released NOAA budget proposal (or even large portions) were to be enacted: It would involve a wholesale dismantling (decimation, really) of entities relevant to weather, climate, & ocean research & prediction.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

I'm not pointing fingers at anybody but I do see #USDA left out of a lot of the reporting on cuts to federal research funding, and USDA funds a LOT of research!!! Food safety! Ag sustainability! Making our food supply chains more resilient!!!

This is quite good. I’ll add to it that more than anything else, my writing skills were honed over nearly twenty years of student essays, from having the five paragraph style drilled into me in 1993 to finishing my dissertation in 2010. The mass revolt against developing this skill is devastating.

"The idea that you’re going to be more aggressively regulating based on the best science, while you’re wholesale cutting scientific research and gutting the people who are in charge of overseeing the very industry that you’re trying to clamp down on is a joke." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

For the bazillionth time, eating well isn't a knowing problem, it's a doing problem. Everybody - like literally everybody - knows you're supposed to eat whole foods and no crap, but then you go out in a world *designed* to make you eat crap, which you also happen to love. Veg don't stand a chance.

Today, the House of Representatives will vote on a rescission package that will instantly gut all federal funding for public media. All of it, gone. Here’s more information: protectmypublicmedia.org?utm_source=n...
