One of my favorite marine snails on the Georgia coast, the knobbed whelk (Busycon carica), a bivalve-killing predator that lives in sandy shallow-marine environments, but is occasionally seen buried (by its burrowing) in intertidal zones. 🧪🌊🐌

GUYS! IT'S FINALLY HERE! My first dissertation chapter has been published in Climatic Change!!! We read 194 papers on environmental justice on the coast and our findings are free for the public 🌊🌎🧪 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

@weatherwest.bsky.social on the Gates memo - "You can't techno fix your way out of extreme heat"

Not too late to jump on this webinar and hear @katharinehayhoe.com speaking some truth on climate!!

In my relationship we do gifts "for you for me". For example, I just bought my bf a cooking class 🤗

New paper from my @cig-uw.bsky.social colleagues on the importance of direct funding to community-led organizations to advance their own resilience priorities. This case study is based on a small-grants program run by the NW Climate Resilience Collaborative, which was terminated by NOAA in May.

Whales in Antarctica are starving as industrial krill fishing explodes, hitting record catches. Their recovery is at risk. Tell CCAMLR to protect whales & their food before it’s too late! #ProtectWhales #Antarctica bit.ly/47jjbxS

the lasagna I made turned into more of a pasta sauce soup?? apparently using fresh motz is not the way

Might get to share my new paper with y'all today!!! It was my first dissertation chapter!

Why are people so weird about knocking or ringing the doorbell? Why are you texting me "I'm here!" from outside my front door??? JUST KNOCK!!!

Ocean acidity has increased by ~30% over pre-Industrial levels due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2. Pteropods, “sea butterflies,” are planktonic snails that are sensitive to these changes. Scientists have found that their shells are getting thinner & are dissolving, especially at high latitudes.

boyfriend said he won't chop one of my fingers off :(

Is it time to cut one of my fingers off, straighten my hair, and start smoking cigarettes yet? (guess who I'm being for Halloween)

Not much is scarier for a #GreatLakes fish than the invasive sea lamprey, sometimes called vampire fish 🧛 But while they're more trick than treat in their introduced range, they're actually threatened in parts of their native range of the Atlantic coasts of Europe + North America - that's scary!

✅ Approved a final proof ✅ Found my halloween costume at the thrift store and paid for it by selling my old halloween costume ✅ Sold some more furniture on craigslist in prep for our BIG MOVE!! ✅ Didn't lose my mind after reading about *gestures broadly* Successful Thursday!

Just realizing I've posted some version of this thread at least a couple times over the years to defend adaptation when it gets thrown out with the adaptation bro bathwater. And likely will again.

This is so on theme! Rats vs Bats!!!!

I made a new friend at Spanish class and he added me on LinkedIn??? so I put together the most corporate-speak vaguely professional GenAI fluff msg 'linking" him with my bf so they can hang out (yes like a play date)

People on here yelling "Don't share AI images of the typhoon in Alaska!!!!" and they're right because the real pictures look like this:

The Trump admin canceled a $20m EPA grant to Kipnuk to protect it against flooding. Last week a typhoon destroyed 90% of the village. #flooding #coastalhazards #alaska #adaptation #climatechange #typhoon #typhoonhalong www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is the ideal male body. Interestingly, it's also the ideal female body. And it is both at the same time, in circular orgies called mating chains.

this is an insane photo and one of my biggest fears when surfing

My husband was bitten by a sea otter who climbed onto his board on Vancouver Island last spring. Thanks to a thick wetsuit, the bite left only an impressive bruise. Bottom line: they're the real locals. Like sharks and other marine life, the ocean is their home and we're guests when we visit.

One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that it becomes harder to solve as it proceeds, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. It isn't something that can be put off until tomorrow without serious penalty.

✅ I finally got a chance to ask my “fifth committee member”, Jeff Goldblum, to sign my dissertation, which is titled “Life Finds a Way: Carnivore Movement and Conflict in Developing Landscapes”. 😋 My work on human-wildlife interactions continues to embody this iconic Jurassic Park phrase 🐾👣🌱. 🧪🌍

Very thankful for judges.

Last week in Arkansas a nice shopkeeper woman thought it would be funny to Heil Hitler/Nazi Salute in front of me and another Jewish person. Musk did that.
