bikes are an indicator species in the transportation/built environment ecosystem.

The State & City of #Berlin may reach an average area temperature near 106° Sunday. Other cities nearby could spike to 108/109°. Not only would these break the #Germany  all-time record (again - prob 3 days in a row) it would also be a ~4 sigma event making it virtually impossible… 1/

Amazing tiny floral bells. 🔔🌹 Rose twisted-stalk (*Streptopus lanceolatus*), Baranof Island, Alaska. #Bloomscrolling

100 years, what a guy ❤️ (Mel Brooks is alive and celebrating his centennial and so should we all)

It's amazing how much least tern chicks can eat! 🪶

Climate.us is live. Built by members of the team behind Climate.gov, this new independent nonprofit website keeps trusted climate information easy to find, easy to use, and harder to erase. #ClimateForUs #ClimateUS

We’re fortunate to have both red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds nesting in our area. They are both territorial and the males spend A LOT of time displaying! This male Yellow-headed Blackbird had just finished foraging in the grass and was headed up to a reed for some yelling! #Birds 🪶

The calm before last night’s storm… ⛈️

It’s really impressive to see the shuttle in launch configuration! The last time I was at the California Science Center, I loved being able to walk around - & under (!) - the orbiter to get a sense for its size. 🚀

Since the 1960s, the genetic code has been used to predict protein sequences from DNA and mRNA sequences. Our @nature.com article demonstrates that these predictions miss thousands of protein sequences present in human tissues. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

The only thing keeping me sane these days is the Monterey Bay Aquarium livestreams. Yes, I want to watch a kelp forest all day. Thank you for providing this valuable public service. @montereybayaquarium.org

Because it’s wrong. Clean energy employs more people than fossil fuels in most U.S. states. Protecting 30% of the planet’s land and ocean generates economic returns that outweigh the costs by 5 to 1. The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the global environment. 7/10

Not 2050. Today in France. Peak Temps. Every pink number is 40C+ (104F+) with many stations at 44C+ (111F+). A previously impossible heatwave, soon to be an annual tradition, only hotter. #heatwave #Europe

We'll do a proper launch announcement Monday, but as of now, the latest OpenCTD, the Sixth Edition of the Construction and Operation Manual, and all the firmware, shapefiles, and gerbers are live! OpenCTD Rev8 is here! github.com/Oceanography...

Global warming is ocean warming! This graph shows temperature anomalies averaged over the global ocean, using Argo profiling data since 2004. While sea surface temps can fluctuate, deeper waters display a consistent warming trend—indicative of Earth's overall climate. #ShowYourStripes

This little butterfly is called a Sara orangetip. They range from Baja Mexico up through California to Oregon. 🌿 #invertebrates

Science is for everyone 🌈🧪

Saw a sleepy boi at UAF today. Silver fox, a melanistic morph of the red fox, same species, different pigment expression. He rolled around in the grass for a while. photos.lwpetersen.com/Recent-Photos #alaska #wildlife #fox

Barnacles on barnacle! Baby barnacles often settle on or near adults of the same species. The big one & likely the little ones are the thatched barnacle *Semibalanus cariosus*. Because this species is a simultaneous hermaphrodite, this could be appropriate for either Father’s Day or Mother’s Day. 🦑

Have a Swell Solstice ! Picture taken 6/20/21. A mirror on the ground reflects light. Everyday at Noon a mark was made, making an analemma. On the solstice ,sol=sun,sistere=to pause , the sun stops its northern trek and turns to the south, directly overhead at 23.44 deg North, the Tropic of Cancer.

France will be at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet over the next few days. The sheer extent of the country that could experience temperatures above 40°C is nothing short of astonishing.

We’re currently in Sitka, Alaska, setting up sites for our #SwelterShelterNSF study: measuring how intertidal foundation species - rockweeds & mussels - protect other species against aerial heat waves & determining whether loss of foundation species could lead to cascading biodiversity declines. 🦑🌊

Happy birthday to #botanist Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919-2010), 🧪👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci renown algae expert, celebrated seaweed cook, devoted teacher and mentor, expert on Hawaiian ethnobotany, the first Indigenous Hawaiian woman to earn a doctorate in science and the first woman or person of colour to become 🧵

I’m on a tide-cycle schedule, not a calendar schedule & forgot that it’s #PhycologyFriday… 🦑🌊

Ulva clathrata, or “spiky tendrils,” is our seaweed of the week! #PhycologyFriday

When you go for a dive in the Lembeh Strait, and instead of critters you meet @infinitescream.bsky.social. AAAAAAHHHH!!!! #PhycologyFriday #MarineLife #Nature

Stumbled across these photos of storm-cast kelp wrack from the Mendocino Headlands in 2008. Love the vintage vibe they carry. They also serve as a reminder of abundance once taken for granted—it’s increasingly rare to see this much algal biomass washing ashore on California beaches. #PhycologyFriday

Some of the nudibranch I saw today. I often poke a finger in for a size reference or to hold the seaweed steady oooor recently discovered my fingers act like a reflection and help the camera light not blow out the slug 😂

Beach day! #MarineEcology #Seaweed 🦑🌊🧪

Let it be absolutely clear, elephant head flowers are amazing. Thank you Sierra Nevada meadow.

Good morning. Sea lion pile up on San Diego Bay. 🌿🦑

In 2017, I had to abandon ship. I was lost at sea. Caribbean fishermen, in the dead of night, risked their safety to pull me out of the ocean. Ever since the first illegal boat strike, I've been haunted by the betrayal of our duty to render aid and what it means for the safety of life at sea.
