I made a list of folks who work in ocean science and conservation, post stuff that’s interesting to non-experts in those fields (like my students,) and post regularly.
Give them a follow to get more ocean on your feed.
I am always adding to this list. But please don’t ask me to add you.

Many graduate students are in danger of losing their one field season for collecting data- in March 2020 because of the pandemic, now because of Musk-Trump BS. This means that many won't be able to finish graduate school. 🧪🧵

I want to highlight just how closely the Wurman-Barnett arguments in 2025 parallel those made by the United States against Wong Kim Ark’s citizenship in 1898. And rejected. I do not think this can be coincidence.
