It pulls more relevant papers now, but often invents interpretations not in them. When pressed for quotes, it admits making things up. Feels more dangerous than the old nonsense …because it sounds right when it’s not 😨

🧪🧪🔥 Well that’s cool! Is this from “our” Noelle Bowlin @scrippsocean.bsky.social ?!

We are thrilled to announce that Meenakshi Wadhwa will serve as the Vice Chancellor for Marine Sciences, Director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Dean of the School of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at @ucsandiego.bsky.social!

This week, diplomats, scientists & ocean advocates are at the #UNOceanConference in Nice, France. Top issue: Doing a better job of observing the ocean. Scripps Oceanography Director @msleinen.bsky.social is among the signatories of "No Data, No Action," a call by @pogo-ocean.bsky.social. 🧵⬇️

Please come chat with “The Expert” —aka me —today @ #UNOC3 green zone the deep blue pavilion @ noon! We are having fun over here 😅

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Thrilled to share this collaborative work by Kristie Yu, Francis Chandra, Amina Schartup and teams @Scripps_Ocean and @UCLA showing that an engineered gut bacterium can be used to reduce the neurotoxic effects of dietary methylmercury www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

UCLA and UCSD scientists inserted DNA-encoding methylmercury detoxification enzymes into the genome of an abundant human gut bacterium. The engineered bacterium detoxified methylmercury in the gut of mice and reduced the amount that reached other tissues. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/red...

#Scialog: Microbiome, Neurobiology and Disease collaborators Elaine Hsiao, UCLA, and Amina Schartup, UCSD, have a new paper in Cell Host & Microbe on an engineered human gut bacterium that shows promise in reducing mercury absorption from seafood. @pipethero.bsky.social @aminaschartup.bsky.social

Not to be that #Earth #scientist, but we study volatile dimethylated compounds in actual life-filled ecosystems and still won’t confidently call them purely biotic. What gives? #astrochemistry #astrobiology

🔬 Science makes our world better, safer, healthier and stronger. Scripps Oceanography scientists joined fellow members of @nationalacademies.org to call attention to the importance of funding science that supports not just the U.S., but our planet. @nytimes.com has more.

New manuscript in Environmental Science & Technology: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... We combined enriched stable-isotope incubation assays for mercury methylation and demethylation with DNA and RNA sequencing with to investigate key constraints on methylmercury accumulation in freshwater.

Science aims for objectivity, but the way we ask questions, test knowledge, and teach concepts is deeply cultural. This year, I got a reminder of this in class… 😅 For fun, I asked how many water molecules had passed through Doja Cat (probability & the water cycle! last yr it was L. DiCaprio)...

your outie is fascinated with the natural world your outie is passionate about understanding and protecting the planet your outie has an appreciation for geosciences, marine biology and atmospheric science your outie supports research that is finding solutions to environmental challenges

The thing about scientific research is that it’s one of the few national investments that’s a clear public good even if you entirely discount the actual ostensible point of it.

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.
