This is gross. And a reminder that your farmed salmon facilities pump antibiotics *directly* into water bodies. 💁‍♀️

How did the creature not dehydrate on the way? Did the crew discover it and supply it during the crossing? Did it get sea sick? Bored? Did it miss terrestrial smells? Did they check its social accounts on arrival? So many questions... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Last year I was thinking about taking an ice #diving course. Instead, it turned out to be the Polar research diving program in Finnish Lapland. A challenging week in which ice diving under 80 cm of ice in -25°C was just the top of the iceberg. Photos by Steffen Scholz and Pata Degerman #divesky

100 Days of Reef Fish Beautiful Reef Fish 1/10: Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonius. The intricate pattern breaks up the boxfish’s silhouette for camouflage Thank you, Dana Ransby, @danaransby.bsky.social for suggesting this beauty. #sciart #marinelife #coralreefs #dothe100daysproject

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

The Ruzzian invasion of Ukraine isn’t only a human tragedy, it carries far-reaching environmental costs too. Some are obvious, others more subtle (via @theguardian.com), but no less serious. More documented by @uwecworkgroup.bsky.social #Ukraine #environment www.theguardian.com/environment/...

❄️ Six days under water, in darkness and freezing cold. After a Russian missile strike flooded one of Kyiv heat and power plants, DSNS divers worked in icy water (air temperature to –15 °C) to restore heat and power for thousands of families. An act of courage that kept the city warm.

Some thoughts about the murder by ICE in Minnesota. This is the time for all of us to demand much better and to show what’s right.

There may be those in Europe who are less than forceful... but this is the Chair of Austria's "NATO Enlargement Committee”. And he's not taking any shit from the USA. If they attack or otherwise “acquire" Greenland, then Europe will take control of all […] [Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

Dry January is a great idea in theory. Then you read the news.

For this year's #25DaysOfFishmas we're going to go in roughly chronological order, from the oldest lineages of fish to the present. We're kicking off, then, with a truly ancient and utterly bizarre animal - this is the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri.

I recently came across this image and it’s a great way to summarize how I feel about my work. Whether supporting other consultants through resources or referrals, or supporting people in their data management work, helping to lift other people up benefits us all.

Do you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

As an #rstats user, I am proud of my #python brothers and sisters for standing up for their community. It's a shame they won't have these resources, but community is and always has been what makes a language great. Today the python world stood up for theirs pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Dorsch und Hering stehen in der Ostsee vor dem Aussterben. Die letzten Fische werden weggefangen, bevor sie sich fortpflanzen können. Wir brauchen ein Fangmoratorium und ein striktes Verbot der Grundschleppnetzfischerei, die den Ostseeboden zerstört. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Rund um das Wrack der Ostsee-Fähre "Estonia" gilt ein Tauchverbot. Nach Recherchen von WDR, NDR und SZ besteht jedoch der Verdacht, dass Russland den Ort für Unterwasserspionage gegen die NATO nutzt. www.tagesschau.de/investigativ... ⬇️

In exchange for not sending Tomahawks, I promised Donald I would give up land Russia does not control in Zaporizhzhia & Kherson. In return, Ukraine would give Russia land we also do not control in Donbas. Donald and the art of the deal.

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.

No way ☢️😆

Hey folks! #Geology often gets overlooked in schools Which is crazy, because it explains why the world looks the way it does – from #mountain ranges to the ground beneath your feet So I want to fix that! How? By making a new educational tool for cool experiments in schools <3

Since we’ve been talking reef health today, let’s talk one of the methods used to monitor it across thousands of square km. Enter: manta tow. A survey method so bold it involves a human holding onto a board… being dragged behind a boat. 🧵👇 #OceanScience #ReefMonitoring #MantaTow

Nord Stream pipelines is scheduled for renovation works where the NS AG will inspect the full length and plug the holes to prevent further degradation. @alexejhock.bsky.social got a press release out of the work boat company. Comment, speculative: the fossil fuel dollar pipes will open again.

☢🛢️ Heute endet die erste Mission der #NODSSUM Kampagne. 3.355 Fässer mit #Atommüll haben die Forschenden kartiert. Am Thünen-Institut für #Fischereiökologie werden in den kommenden Monaten die gesammelten Meerwasser-, Sediment- und Fischproben auf Rückstände untersucht. t1p.de/Thuenen_LATALANTE

🧪⚒️ #NODSSUM cruise - On land, material & samples make their way back to home labs. And this morning we showed sonar images of barrels & photos taken by Ulyx flying at ~10 m above seafloor. Lots to do back in labs & offices. It was intense - good intense. Images: see copyright etc in thread

☢ Während der Reise #NODSSUM haben Forschende tausende Fässer mit #Atommüll im #Atlantik entdeckt. Mit dem Multicorer Sediment Sampler sammeln sie zudem Sedimentproben. Diese werden später u. a. auf #Radioaktivität und am Thünen-Institut auch auf #PFAS untersucht. t1p.de/Thuenen_LATALANTE

🧪⚒️ #NODSSUM cruise - Sunday w/ pains au chocolat - & 48 h till we leave the work site. Last night no UlyX dive due to weather & coring. The 12-tube Oktopus corer preserves the water - sediment interface, and a critical part to look for radionuclides from barrels or surface fall-out.

Your leaders will call our attack on Rheinmetall a "hybrid attack". Because if they called it an "attack" they might be expected to do something about it.
