It’s finally happened.

I’m regularly surprised that folks don’t realize the core models are stateless. The model gets the whole context every turn and re-evaluates the whole thing. Yes, even when coding. The models don’t remember shit. The harness (app on top) gives them memory with each turn.

Our department just announced a new Associate Professor position in quantitative research methodology 🇳🇴 One of the favorable qualifications is experience with open science practices + R/Python experience www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

ZOMG. These are tools I have needed for so long!!!! Yes!

Okinawa’s seaweed at a crossroads as harvesters and scientists race to save a fading tradition https://www.alojapan.com/1508022/okinawas-seaweed-at-a-crossroads-as-harvesters-and-scientists-race-to-save-a-fading-tradition/ Naha – At low tide, the sea withdraws from Okinawa’s coast, exposing a …

Happy 4th of July, to all my fellow American decapods (and other species)! Stay cool, stay dry (but keep your gills moist), and stay safe. 🇺🇸🦀🐚

Hey folks: my friend was helping sail the Clearwater yesterday—and they were removed from the tall ships parade today, BY THE US COAST GUARD & NYPD for flying banners promoting clean water & indigenous rights. This is… bad.

Mari-nerd friends can we blow up BlueSky with stars and anemones and other gorgeous explosions, of any taxonomy? Go 💥 💥 💥

Happy #InternationalPolychaeteDay, please accept my marine worm offering for these trying times

🇨🇦🦀 CANADA DAY CRAB THREAD 🦀🇨🇦 Canada encompasses 3 of the world's oceans, so let's meet crabs from each one. In the Arctic, the spiky king crab friend Neolithodes grimaldii is found offshore (300-5000m depth). Same genus, different species, as the famous baby 1/7 🦑🧪

If you're into brachiopods, or just brachiopod curious, here is an article on brachiopods that I helped write (a little bit, Sandy Carlson did most of the heavy lifting and cat-wrangling) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #paleontology #evolution #brachiopod

Tides are important for a bunch of oceanographic and geodetic stuff, also for just meretime operation (and coastal living) in general. So we spend a lot of time and resources monitoring it. With so much data, we can see some patterns. 🧪🌊 Link: https://os.copernicus.org/articles/22/1681/2026/​

🧪🧵 🪰 🐜🪲🐞🦗🐛🦋🪳🦟 The result is striking: our work suggests that Earth may harbor a minimum of 14 to 30 million insect species, far above the long-standing estimate of roughly six million.  Most of life is <1g, <1cm and has no name. 97% of insect species may not be named!  doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

So, you know when a project you thought would be a small thing gets out of hand? Congratulations to all @zooniverse.bsky.social volunteers, and thanks to all the incredible team members who’ve worked on the platform all these years. 🔭 🧪

Do you like tropical shores? Because one might be coming to a coast near you soon. We sometimes call that Tropicalization, then tropical species expand and supplant temperate ecosystems, and it's expanding. 🧪🌊 Link: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2435.13310​

You may have heard about the OMB rule change that will put politics over federal grants. However bad you think it is? It's probably worse. Thanks to @theverge.com for letting me report this one out. There is still time to comment. bit.ly/4v2X4nQ

Scientists are implementing multiple strategies to protect heat-stressed kelp forests, including urchin population management and transplanting heat-hardy kelp varieties to address ocean warming impacts. https://goodlede.com/story/effortstosavekelpforestsfromoceanwarmingarerampingup

I have a new house guest on my back fence apparently?

Which to read first…

I’m a big fan of etherpad and even Google Docs for collaborative note taking. But I’ve noticed more and more students moving to stylus-based note taking as they have devices where they don’t have to type in class. Is there anything like ether pad for collaborative handwritten notes?

Y'all - the Smithsonian is hiring three new curators - herpetology, ichthyology, and ornithology! Notably, this is a 2nd fish curator position - i.e., not the same as the one advertised last month. So if you applied for that one apply again. www.usajobs.gov/job/873849000

You’ve doctored your last spin.

🦦 How do we restore and steward kelp forests? 🦋 A Morpho Initiative working group explored how Indigenous knowledge, local expertise, and scientific research can be woven together to support more effective and equitable kelp stewardship. 🧵

I'm still trying to sell some proofs of my coloring book about Giant Kelp Communities except, for now, I won't use Venmo & need to sign up for another payment processor. Anybody use Zelle? Venmo told my 1st customer I may be a "scam artist" Musk calling ME a scammer? It's a compliment I don't need.

A little #statistics timeline cleanse

Nobody understands bibtex. And certainly not the people coding journal websites. (Not saying "turn on your brains" is an appropriate comment but I've never seen an automatically generated bibtex entry that was actually correct.) clauswilke.com/blog/2015/10...

Would get a land-line for this. Unless there is a way to connect your cellular....either way, WANT.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

“Don’t become a professor unless you want to teach” is the chef’s kiss of pithy insight per @hormiga.bsky.social

Hey #rstats crowd - has anyone used shinylive for hosting geospatial shiny apps - e.g., with leaflet maps, etc.? posit-dev.github.io/r-shinylive/ - seems like a great solution, and I have some pages that the processing takes FOREVER so would be great to do just once....

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

Yeah, fuck this. Our public money is essentially being diverted from science to supporting the stock prices of ruling party donors.

Registration for the American Society of Naturalists stand-alone meeting is now open! www.amnat2027.org The former Asilomar meeting will be held in a mansion on Long Island in Jan '27. Limit of 200 people. @asn-amnat.bsky.social #Evol2026

This discussion puts its finger squarely on one of the two thorniest issues of geoengineering - namely that, to succeed, it would require multidecadal stable and rational governance of the countries and entities involved. How's that going, these days?

This is my favorite mug.

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

NSF's grantmaking is miserly when compared to recent years, but when compared it to the historical record, we see it's a radical break from the long-term consensus of investing in scientific innovation. grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NSF 🧪
