What a great bunch of paleobiologists and soooo international!! the annual @paleosynth.bsky.social summer school. Such a pleasure to share methods with u all. Thanks @devapriya-chat.bsky.social @dralexdunhill.bsky.social @moriakiyasuhara.bsky.social & others for sending ur grad students over!

“These vast, seemingly timeless seascapes have become some of the world’s most vulnerable marine habitats, according to a new study published on Thursday in the journal Science that adds up and maps the ways human activity is profoundly reshaping oceans and coastlines around the world.” 1/3

SWIMS will be a very busy place from tomorrow because Integrative Marine Ecology & Conservation (IMEC) MSc has launched! Tomorrow, forty-four students will start their journey at SWIMS and HKU. Their first class – Ocean Biodiversity, is at 9am. Welcome to SWIMS, everyone! @jonscibulski.bsky.social

[New Paper] We found a SECOND SNAIL with HARD SCALES on the foot -- Ifremeria nautilei lives in deep-sea hot vents and makes chitinous scales not by secretion but by cell differentiation, like our own skin! @royalsocietypublishing.org Proceedings B, OPEN ACCESS: doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

In the interest of celebrating good things, former lab postdoc David Fastovich (and new Assistant Prof at University of Georgia!) has a new paper looking at rates of ecosystem change in response to past climate change: press release: phys.org/news/2025-07... Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This makes me really sad: Richard was a great guy. Some of my best memories from my Smithsonian are from interacting with him.

Vegetation might not be able to keep up with current rates of environmental change, given data from the pollen fossil record. Fun doing this work with David Fastovich in the lead, but sobering www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A study confirms what we have long argued: the spectacular Atlantic 'cold blob' is the result of a slowing of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC, which transports warm waters into that region. That's the only part of Earth that resisted #globalwarming. 🌊 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Sending hugs to everyone at NSF (and all the federal agencies). Y'all are the front lines standing up to this insanity and being mowed down, and we all know we're next. Y'all are wonderful humans who gave so much to supporting the scientific enterprise, and we're not going down without a fight.

This is an attack on US science. NSF staff provide critical support for scientific infrastructure and global excellence. These are valuable dedicated public servants. Please contact your reps, write letters, make noise! Are there any plans for rallies at NSF headquarters? Journalists: COVER THIS!
