Excited to be a part of the EcoC2S team! We're studying ecosystem services to enhance the resilience of coastal regions and communities to flood risks in a catchment to sea perspective ecoc2s-water4all.dinamicambiental.es #ecosystemservices #science #research #flooding #coastal #resilience #ecology

Really interesting #PhD opportunity combining #LocalEcologicalKnowledge and #science to better understand changes in #seabird distributions over time in the context of #InvasiveSpecies.

Just signed up to write more coastal resilience poems. If you missed my first one, it's published in Disaster Prevention and Management... where are my fellow scientist-poets? www.emerald.com/dpm/article-... #science #poetry #poems #coastal #resilience #cllimatechange #sealevelrise #art #amwriting

I took the bus today to my job in Spain ^^ something I've always dreamed of?? I can't believe this is my life??

I told one of the PhD students this and he was like: Why?

Currently have four papers in press... soon to be five 🫣

What I intended to say at a coauthors meeting: After reworking the paper draft, it's now much more focused What I actually said: The paper is shorter now. Well. Not physically. The paper is shorter emotionally

Not to be that girl but... "Do you want to see a lizard???" will always work on me

Ever read a perspective paper and just really really want to be the author's friend?

New PhD student was visiting my lab in Spain and asked me if we have summers off. I was confused... like no, honey, this is academia we don't have any time off. And then my colleague was like: "You are in Europe now. We do not work in August. Everything is closed." 🤯

Thanks past Amanda, for putting "Monday meeting" on my to-do list. It is now Monday and I would love to know what you were referring to???

New appreciation for people who have moved to a new country unlocked

I had my first dream in Spanish!!!! This feels like progress!

Māori have an expression “tēnei, tēnā, tērā”– “this, that and that over there” – now, short term, long term – reminding them that change is incremental or in other words poco a poco

A fun hack in academia is that everyone is too busy to apply for smaller awards/challenges so you can actually win small grants and such pretty easily

New friend: What are you going to do at work today? Me: I'm going to write a paper about climate change New friend: Whaaaat?!? That's so cool!!!!! 💁‍♀️💅😊🌎✨ #ClimateChange #Science #ILoveMyJob

My face when I'm giving my first presentation in Spanish and I forget how to conjugate verbs

My first presentation in Spanish went really well! I'm really International Science Barbie now!

Absolutely thrilled to be celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science as a new addition to the EqualSea lab. Check out this video featuring the women in our lab with some advice for aspiring scientists everywhere! #WomenInSTEM #Science www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science from the EqualSea Lab in Spain!! #WomenInSTEM #WomenAndGirlsInScience #STEM #Science #EqualSea

We just got our 2nd citation let's goooooo

Friends think because I moved to Spain I'm in some kind of tropical paradise... meanwhile I'm in Galicia and it rains here more than anywhere else in the world

The only ice stories I want to read in the morning

Next Wednesday I'm going to give my first presentation in Spanish for International Day of Women and Girls in Science!!! I'm so excited!

Got an email rejection from a climate justice job and they CC'd 100s of other rejectees... so now there is a cursed email thread with everyone sharing their LinkedIns and trying to network

Of all the departures this past year at NOAA—via the fork offer, retirements, etc.— the one that stung the most was the firing of people in their probationary first year. They have more modern skills than those of us who received their PhDs in the 90s and 00s. My whole department is in its 50s now.

In Galicia (Spain) when you order a coffee they give you a slice of cake for free and it is amazing. It's called bizcocho!!!

bizcocho is life

Just met a ton of my new Spanish colleagues and I'm not sure burn out exists here

Second day in Spain! Being scared of new things, like speaking Spanish on the phone, is easy when no one speaks English!

In this week’s Talking Climate, I unpack why recent cuts to scientific programs and data don’t only affect climate research in the U.S. They weaken the knowledge infrastructure we rely on to protect public health, manage risk, and make good decisions around the world. www.patreon.com/posts/how-si...

both articles submitted! both first author! letsss goooooo

One article submitted, one to go

So everyone knows that northern cod collapsed completely in the 1980s and never recovered. Well... it's actually kind of recovering now. Spawning biomass is at pretty good levels, while catches remain at a tiny fraction of the heyday levels. publications.gc.ca/collections/...

Tara Roberts is a Black Woman Scuba Diver who works for National Geographic that goes deep into the ocean in search of lost slave ships.

Dumb question: Do Spanish computers have keyboards that have the accents built in somehow? Because adding them is kind of a time suck

My nerdy cousin told me that my niece loves manga so I got her some Sailor Moon. Of course she loved it (because SAILOR MOON duh!!) but it was her FIRST manga and now I'm responsible for putting her down that path!!!! I've been hornswoggled!

Can someone please make a gif of a Black Triggerfish because I've been obsessed with them recently and I want to show everyone how cool they swim

Two (2!) days until I'm a Spaniard

Slowing realizing that moving to Spain is going to completely rewire my brain

On my way back to the US and not happy about it

Just got my first citation on this!!! So exciting!!!!

My mom just called me "Amanda of the people"

Six weeks till the Super Bowl, it's time to commence your Bad Bunny education if you haven't gotten started yet
