ahh i miss sea art and artists!!

running away to the woods doesn’t solve ur problems but boy it sure feels good to forget you do have to solve them for a weekend

Hi scientists of bluesky ! I am reporting on federally funded long term monitoring programs and time series datasets in the Bay Area, and I want to know how those programs and data have informed your science / management / research. Email me at [email protected] or DM :) #journorequest

my latest if you even care abt: - nighttime sabotage - life-and-death fish rescues - a two-foot tall stack of postcards - how sometimes, over almost thirty years, the impossible does actually become possible :) how alameda creek opened to fish for @baynature.org baynature.org/article/afte...

One of the coolest details about @tanvidg.bsky.social's outing with a field recordist is that a mic placed on a redwood produced this persistent low rumble—she thought maybe the sounds of fluid running through the tree. The sound of its lifeblood!? Does anyone know? baynature.org/2025/06/12/t...

From @tanvidg.bsky.social on @baynature.org: answers on #CAProp4 timelines, what work it funds, what could change in the state budget process, which agencies to ask for money (there are more than 30!), etc. Let us know of other questions! #servicejournalism baynature.org/article/how-...

How much do words (specifically: diversity, equity, inclusion, justice) matter? TLDR: not as much as actions, environmental groups say. Great work from @tanvidg.bsky.social for @baynature.org baynature.org/article/with...

as trump wages a war on DEI - with millions in funding at stake - how are NGOs and agencies rethinking their public (and private) commitments to equity? my latest for @baynature.org: baynature.org/article/with...

Conservation work in the Bay Area is in a state of "confusion and chaos" in the wake of the Trump administration's attacks on environmental programs. Uprooter @tanvidg.bsky.social for @baynatureinstitute.bsky.social baynature.org/article/trum...

the federal government is in turmoil. what does that mean for bay area conservation and communities? reporting for @baynatureinstitute.bsky.social: baynature.org/article/trum...

future IRA funds may be frozen - but the bill’s legacies will endure for landscapes like the cosumnes river! excited to share some (literally) river-based reporting for @baynatureinstitute.bsky.social: baynature.org/article/padd...

briefly reunited with my favorite girl in the whole wide world 🥰

god i love mangrove adapted species

thank you for sharing!

my latest for @baynatureinstitute.bsky.social includes solar panels! salamanders! citizen advocacy! and it’s online now here if u want to read baynature.org/article/larg...

I regret to inform you all that today, the haters have won (I have lost my voice and must actually shut up)

A couple weeks ago, I chatted with the guy who helped write those main climate funding legislations about what they were meant to do - and what they might become.

Trump made scary campaign promises. What could he really do? And what would it mean for the Bay’s climate and nature movement? For @baynatureinstitute.bsky.social, I asked around: baynature.org/article/re-e...

PSA: setting up a Google alert for “sperm whale” will expose you to the worst parts of the internet as much as it will net you whale fun facts 🥲

Atoms are binary. They are either intended to be hydrogen or helium. We can't just scrap this worldview just because of a handful of exceptions

no one explained to me how the secret to life is hanging out on the couch with a cat who actually likes you

we need to band together against the real threat to a thriving social media environment: the absolute chokehold white beans have on cooking influencers

me filing my overdue draft with my editor:

literally cannot think of a single thing more worth the 4 am wake up!!! more fangirling to come

i love the ocean eom

fall colors? in MY bay area? it’s more likely than you think

important words of encouragement from my roommates (embrace ur inner broth this winter)

with trump’s election, what does that mean for biden’s billions? for bay nature, i sat down with one of the architects of the US’s key climate bills to figure out: how have they done, and where will they go? baynature.org/article/what...

grateful to #sciwri24 for teaching me mollusks reproduce by (essentially) vomiting their offspring onto fish gills thank you @sciencewriting.bsky.social for supporting me to access this and other transformative opportunities 🙏

in my first piece for bay nature magazine i asked the summer’s burning question: are california’s bees hot to go baynature.org/2024/09/05/b...

wrote down some reflections on what i feel entering post college life somewhereupatree.wordpress.com/2024/08/07/f...

super excited to share that at long last i got my drivers license !! (and i graduated with my masters degree in earth systems)

lots of love to everyone who some came at 8:30 am on a monday for our first #OSM24 to hear our adventures with #eDNA in the deep sea lab :) please reach out if you have any questions or thoughts!

what lives in the middle of the ocean in the middle of the ocean? we used #eDNA to find out - and you can learn too, this monday at DS11A-01 in #OSM24!! come hang out w me and sydney 🌊🌊

now that i'm back at stanford it's the ultimate show down of what will win: unecessarily long runs or the actual work i have to do

helping out with a lit review of global forestry papers and going through 100s of papers by hand to double check references makes it so frighteningly visible how all our seminal literature about fixing climate change in the "developing" world does not come from there

me vs packing the two things i need to complete in the next two hours

if there's one thing ab me i am going to put way more parenthetical asides than necessary

the nature/society cartesian duality is my roman empire

The subject of today's ScienceAdviser was "Crocodiles can’t resist the screams of terrified infants." Kind of says it all, doesn't it? 🐊🧪 https://www.science.org/content/article/scienceadviser-crocodiles-can-t-resist-screams-terrified-infants

thank you so much!! (for those interested, would also highly recommend the reporting from the people’s archive of rural india for truly grassroots coverage https://ruralindiaonline.org/en/articles/in-kuno-cheetahs-in-adivasis-out/)

excited at very, very long last to share this piece for atlas obscura. the rise and fall of the cheetahs in kuno as india tried to bring back an extinct species have had drama aplenty. but who's really paid the price?

the size of this whale cannot be overemphasized
