A court ruling that anyone authorized to administer an oath of office can swear in a congressperson would be a really good precedent to have when Republicans refuse to swear in the 120th congress.

I am working on the section of my marine biology career advice book about applying to graduate school. I have lots to say here from both my own experience and years of teaching this stuff, but I’d welcome your input on any or all of this if you’re willing.

There's a good essay in @science.org about the importance of free global access to climate and weather data. The atmosphere doesn't know about borders, so paywalls anywhere hurt predictions everywhere; even more so for those who can't pay

What I'm asking archaeologist to do here is meet with a group of students who are 9 times out of 10 working on a robotics club project through First Lego League. These students will ask you a bunch of questions on a video chat, usually after school or during their lunch break. It's fun!

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.
We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.
