So excited to be on Bluesky! So here is a blue sky, and a #puffin (w snacks). Excited to connect with more #naturalists, #ecologists, #fish people, and just generally not feel dread when I open social media 🦋

I did it. If you also say "thank you" to the bus driver when you get off the bus, please let me know and I will add you.

Please follow these driver thankers who are probably also good community members in other ways.

Last month I had my FIRST successful tag and release of a scalloped hammerhead inside the #flowergardenbanksnms. We’ve been trying to find them in the sanctuary for almost 3 years!!

Turn up the volume to hear my yell of excitement 😆 🔊

Excited to use bluesky for my first #conference as an MSc student next week - the #InternationalFlatfishSymposium in Wageningen, the #Netherlands. Gonna be sharing background, methods, and future steps in my masters research. (And cool pics/vids!) 🇳🇱

Yay! Found a rights of nature/land justice starter pack!

Is there a water justice starter pack?
