🇨🇦🇨🇦 Just announced: a massive new program from the Canadian govt, separate from the well-known CRCs and CERCs, to recruit foreign scientific talent Canada was already a destination for scientists but whoa. Real impressive for a new govt to back political talking points with serious investment

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

The initial SODCO website is now online and will evolve over time. Keep an eye open for Scientific Ocean Drilling events (looking at you @agu.org Annual Meeting) and announcements about proposals, workshops, expeditions, internships, etc… www.sodco.org

There are very few energy sources in the deep sea to support biology. Seeps (hot and cold) are one of the primary ones, forming local hotspots. The cold seeps form pokemarks, which can expand into channels if a current catches them. 🧪🌊 Link: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Huge paper for the Arctic Ocean published today in @science.org - a new 30,000 year history of Arctic Ocean sea-ice cover reconstructed from the accumulation of cosmic dust-derived helium-3! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/n)

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

Give this man the FIFA Peace Prize. 🥇

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

i don’t know how to cross-post this from FB but this is absolutely heartbreaking. The age of scientific ocean discovery we were brought up in is gone & will never come back. I can’t.

🚨 Recruiting 12 PhD students for a new NSF-funded program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences! This program is for U.S. students who received an Honorable Mention on the NSF GRFP within the last 3 years. @uafairbanks.bsky.social www.uaf.edu/cfos/academi...

Interested in improving our knowledge of climate by looking into the past? In the Pliocene the earth was hotter than today, but carbon dioxide was "about the same". Come work with us in 2026 looking at where this crucial information comes from, and how to make it better during an M2 internship.

ICYMI: NSF has followed through with its plan to end the lease on its Antarctic icebreaker, many years before necessary, with almost no congressional pushback. Now there's a mad scramble to fill the gap with less capable ships. @science.org's Jeff Mervis followed the story up:

Lots of people who want to accelerate natural processes as climate solutions should gain a basic understanding of aquatic chemistry.

Our best strategy for assessing the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) involves running computationally expensive climate models. Here, we developed a statistical technique that encapsulates the climatic response to OAE interventions, simplifying the OAE carbon accounting problem. 🌊🧪

Lots of nussy signs today. I love you, America 😂😂

🌟 Postdoc Opportunity in Marine Biogeochemistry at CNRS-CEREGE! 🚢 Are you a passionate researcher ready to tackle climate change? Dive into the ERC-funded Deep-C project in Aix-en-Provence, France! ⬇️

Come work in our lab! All the usual awesome things apply about doing exciting science, plus this one might save the world! @sulpis.bsky.social hiring a 2 year position to observe and model deep ocean processes using high-pressure reactors. *Goes to gather a bunch of forams to be dissolved* 😅

Today was a hard day for Ph.D. students who found out that they can no longer apply for NSF's prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program. "Devastating“ was how one student described it to me. #GradSchool #NSFGRFP www.science.org/content/arti...

Three tariff announcements tonight, each one is dumber than the last. I don’t even know how to read this except as a way for the White House to exempt US pharma multinationals (who import a lot but are always building *something*) and push out smaller foreign competitors.

A few years in the making (and many months late), but I am thrilled to share that the last paper from my PhD has been published! Feel free to read the open access paper to learn more about links between subduction and methane hydrate offshore Chile 🌊 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The @BBCWorld, @AFP, @AP & @reuters have released a short film calling on the Israeli authorities to allow international journalists access to Gaza.

The group was chosen by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid controversy over their credentials. It's changing guidance for vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

For chemist Kris Hansen, 3M was a family affair; her father was a creator of the company’s N95 face masks. Yet, after she found 3M’s forever chemicals in human blood, the company repeatedly doubted her work and stopped her research on the chemicals. (Published May 2024) By @fastlerner.bsky.social

🌊🧪 DISTRIBUTION COEFFICIENTS - As we showed above, the absorption of metals onto particulate matter appears to be reversible. If so, this absorption can be characterized by distribution coefficients. - Broecker and Peng (1982), Tracers in the Sea

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

Ancient organisms may have left microscopic "biosignatures" on Mars. That's according to NASA scientists, who say a rock sample offers the most concrete proof yet that the red planet once hosted life.

I had an engagement with blogger, failed California gubernatorial candidate, and self-identified reporter Michael Shellenberger this past week, which started out being about this new paper being heralded by climate skeptics as disproving global sea-level acceleration. (LONG 🧵)
