The Magnuson Stevens Act has been a critical tool that has helped build sustainable marine fisheries that underpin healthy ocean environments and vibrant coastal communities. Continued use of sound science and full funding for NOAA are key to maintaining this success.. #MSA50 #FisheriesForward

Oh: A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

I taught about the Gaulldet 11 alongside this article for the future of human evolution. Disability in space is a good way to think about what traits that are considered “dis” -ability in one context maybe a “super”-ability in another context. gizmodo.com/why-we-need-...

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! This image shows the underside of a skeletal preparation of a little skate (Leucoraja erinacea) hatchling. Imaged by Andrew Gillis, an associate scientist at the MBL.

Hey, all! @nikihubbard.bsky.social keeps adding more nudis & slugs to this amazing collection of molluscan color palettes - so fun! 🤩 🌊🫧🐌🎨🦑 #MolluscMonday #MolluskMonday #MarineLife #RStats

So excited by paper on Bonobo Gal Pals with Kirsty Graham is now out in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology! 🧪 #primatology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Happy Caturday!

This looks amazing! I would 100% apply if I weren't too senior. Apply to work with the fine folks at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social! 🧪🌊

Just finished the first one of a series of Treasure Boxes, depicting endangered species that need our protection. These will be available in my next studio exhibition

🌍 New paper! The global spread of #Sunfish reveals a growing invasion threat—30 species established beyond native ranges, driven by human pathways and climate change. Time to reconcile #fisheries benefits with #biodiversity costs. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/faf.... #bioinvasions #InvasiveSpecies 🌐 🧪

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record: - 256 eggs (252 in 2019) - 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019) - 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019). It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Holy cow this looks like a great opportunity - there are other non fisheries opps listed as well.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

I saw this headline earlier but didn't read through to the second line because nobody cares. But then I accidentally saw the rest and... We need to what now? With what kind of fucking jobs?

The Trump administration deported more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison, even though most had no gang ties. What did both governments gain from this? @frontlinepbs.bsky.social and El Faro teamed up to find out. Watch “The Deal” now on @PBS. shorturl.at/zvNxT

This is what baby eels looks like. The long trailing tail is its *stomach* (nope, we scientists have no idea why) Eels hold their mysteries close 📽️ by Fan Zhang

Yes that's exactly how I try to explain it to people, but much less eloquently. When the people who have the knowledge to validate these models move out of the workforce, expertise and critical thinking are going to fall off a cliff. Hopefully we can course correct in time.

New publication out today and this one is bittersweet as our lead author died in October. He was an amazing person and scientist. RIP Kyle. #Fisheries

New barracudina just dropped 🎉 We see a LOT of these long, toothy deep sea fishes in our swordfish stomachs - exciting to be able to ID them more accurately in the future! www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-stor...

Alabama academics, this bill is trying to dictate what will be taught in the college classroom. It was really easy to call my rep, AAUP even provides a script!

Happy #DolphinAwarenessMonth! Anyone else get confused with the taxonomy of Killer Whales and other whale species that are actually dolphins that are technically whales? Meme by @awhalefact.bsky.social #WhaleTales

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

Dying at this romantic picture in the chicken like cycle book my kid and I are reading. Whenever we see it he says "we will marry at sunset"

This is an opinion piece— Charlie Witek always has well informed ones at least— but this is an important summary of how #NOAA #Fisheries will be approaching assessments now. Stocks will be put on a risk/value matrix before committing agency resources. oneanglersvoyage.blogspot.com/2026/03/cuts...

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

If you do a lot of searching on the internet (as I do), this is a really useful article. Multiple things I didn’t know and will use going forward.

Vote to help this conservation effort to save some rare species including the Hoosier cavefish described by @niemiller.bsky.social (an actual Hoosier as an IU alum) and me (a hoser). It's free and fun! uproar.indianapoliszoo.com

Barracuda absolutely know when you're looking at them. They will sneak up on you when your back is turned and then casually swim away as soon as you make eye contact. They are the little brothers "I'm not touching you" of the fishes.

A critically endangered smalltooth sawfish cruised through a murky Coral City today (and might’ve bumped into Glenn Nevis in the process😅). How privileged we are to have a fish like this swimming through Miami waterways! When it comes to civic pride through biodiversity, Miami wins #coralcitycamera

Bull sharks have friends! New research shows that they form social relationships with specific friends. The study carried out on the Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji with lancasteruni.bsky.social found that rather than mixing at random, sharks have social preferences & choose their social partners.

Heads up that the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Western Australia (based in Perth) will soon advertise lecturer ( teaching and research) positions in zoology and in marine biology. Please let potential applicants know and to keep an eye out

My kid asked me about my job in advertising back in the day and she asked if I wrote songs for commercials and it got my wife and me on to a nostalgic trip. Anyway. By FAR the gum ads had the best jingles. Like all of them were fire. Here's a tiny thread. Juicy Fruit WHUPPED BATMANS ASS with this

The artwork for #2026MMM is gorgeous as usual, but did they have to do gravestones and coffin lids for the extinct animals 😭
