There's a Tartan?!?

Ocean scientists in this physics exhibit are like physicists in a tide pool. Wonderfully excited and easily amazed. #OSM26

So true, #OSM26. So true.

The location for the #OSM26 reception is great.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

✨ Navigating early career transitions doesn’t have to be a solo journey. The Future Explorers Mentorship Track is now open, with peer-led, small-group circles for early-career BWEEMS members to reflect, set goals, and build community. 📅 Apply by Jan 15 | 🗓 Feb–Aug 2026

Ecologist here, we know plenty about the diversity of life, and as the @britishecologicalsociety.org we actively support the inclusion of trans people alongside all the many ways of simply being human. Dawkins does not represent or speak for us.

Finally. These are my grandmother's people.

The United Nations Ocean Decade: A catalyst for international collaboration enhancing ocean monitoring and data | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌊 🦑

The National Academies is inviting nominations for experts to review the draft United by Nature assessment. Ecology, climate, conservation, social science, sci-comm + more. If someone comes to mind—maybe you—please nominate & please the word! www.nationalacademies.org/projects/DEL...

When I was in high school, I was lucky enough to see Dr. Jane Goodall speak. She spoke of her research, yes, but also of environmental resilience and, crucially, #hope. Her message was simple: Nothing good happens without hope and nothing can happen without community.

🧪📍🌊 🦑🍎 @mbarinews.bsky.social postdoctoral fellowship now accepting applications. Deadline Dec 2 www.mbari.org/about/career....

I expected #ESA2025 to have lots of great science. I didn't expect it to fill my cup. But our #ESA community is committed to #science, #diversity, and #resistance. Got me feeling determined. 💜

There is still time to submit to #OSM26! We're looking for cool applications of cross-scale research! #ecology #ocean #data #analysis agu.confex.com/agu/osm26/me...

I am really excited to be a part of this team. We took our time writing this, putting a lot of thought into how our journeys as #NativesInSTEM were affected by different aspects of Universities and looking for commonalities across the world. I hope folks in academia appreciate this work.

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...

Our session for #OSM26 was accepted! Finding the Needle in the Sea Stack: How New Methods and Techniques are Solving Marine Ecology’s Problem of Pattern and Scale We'd love to get novel/innovative submissions! Not sure your abstract fits? Feel free to reach out! agu.confex.com/agu/osm26/pr...

The truth is that higher education in the United States should be free and accessible, and people like Andreessen are the reason it isn't. The truth is that people like Andreessen are advocating for segregation and discrimination for ideological reasons, not because it's fair for any students.

"There is no #Pride worth marching for if it forgets the people who were here first—and are still being buried first too."

MOAR fascism! This time they want to determine what counts as science, when they can't even query a database.

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF: Dear members: The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.

PANGAEA is working to rescue data from the US! Many datasets - e.g. from NOAA - are being decommissioned in May. PANGAEA has opened its archive to safeguard these valuable resources. "If you become aware of any endangered datasets, please don't hesitate to contact us. We ❤️ data!" www.pangaea.de

What bullshit. This is a complete misrepresentation of Broadening Participation,l and willful misunderstanding of how programs actually work on the ground. This is white supremacy at work. #NSF www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

Disrupting funding was not enough. Gotta disrupt it MOAR!

Housing prisoners in other countries is always the move of authoritarian cowards, whether it's Cuba or El Salvador. #BringKilmarHome

This is horrible. NOAA does valuable, important work. NMFS climate research is crucial for fisheries and conservation. Also can't help but see "... aims to slim down NOAA's investment in some of its premier satellite technology ... by 44%" as anything but a private space cash grab.

Last day to support our anti fascist comic! Support artists and get dope art. #winwin #staccato

Almost Done! Get your copy of Vol 1 of STACCATO! 177pages of Story, covers by Chase Bluestone & Laura Helsby @chasebluestone.bsky.social and @illaurastrates.bsky.social art by Chazz Hoar @chazzlets.bsky.social w/ edits by Alli Cramer @allincramer.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/ant...

Science is under assault because Trumpists are illegally purging labs, deleting data, and censoring research. This is actual fascism. It’s not “cuts”. Don’t normalize what they are doing.

We're so close! Can you push us over the finish line? Support our Kickstarter - fund anti fascist art. #punk #comics #webcomics #manga #Berserk www.kickstarter.com/projects/ant...

When I'm frustrated about the state of #science I lean into #art. Support our Kickstarter - fund a scientist and artists at the same time! #punk #comics #webcomics #manga #Berserk www.kickstarter.com/projects/ant...

Our Kickstarter is LIVE! Like punk rock? Hate demons? Need some inspiration for resisting fascist regimes? We got you covered. #punk #comics #webcomics #manga #Berserk www.kickstarter.com/projects/ant...

@chazzlets.bsky.social @allincramer.bsky.social and I have worked over the last 5 years on this #punkrock #webcomic about fasc bashing, demon slaying, and record exec cutting. 177 pages of story including the final chapter before free2read check it out www.kickstarter.com/projects/ant...

In addition to being a scientist, I'm also a comic editor. Our project's Kickstarter is in prelaunch! If you like anti fascist punk rock, this is for you.

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain

Hadley Wickham and I will never agree. I can put more than 6 shapes in my #ggplot if I damn well want to!

Ok, so this is 100% going into my lecture today.

I second this. Billie is great.

KAMALA, GO ON “HOT ONES.” NOW IS THE TIME.

Happy #WorldOceanDay! I'm part of #TeamOcean from the desert. I am new faculty this fall at Arizona State University and will be looking for grad students soon - If you like integrating between scales, playing with #data, or ground truthing via instrumentation let's chat!

The Falcon takes the stage. Read STACCATO for free at www.staccatorevenge.com Art by @chazzlets.bsky.social words by me w/edits by @allincramer.bsky.social

It's high time to support Indigenous science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪

NSF 🧪 has decided to suddenly stop funding NEON. This is a horrible decision. Read the ESA letter expressing concerns about changes/sunsetting to its DEB Macrosystems program esa.org/wp-content/upl…

The UC Davis Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship is now being advertised. This is a great opportunity to come join our wonderful community of Evolution & Ecology here at Davis. Please RT. cpb.sf.ucdavis.edu/cpb-postdoc-...

Me, reading reviewers' comments:

Dr. Amarasekare's plenary at ESA 2023 Annual Meeting was great! Amazing synthesis and clear modelling.
