Oceanographer, founder of Tini Scientific. She/her 🏳️🌈. My goal in life was to throw expensive s**t in the ocean.
Then I did it and became a world expert on ocean sensors.

I'll be in L.A. in 2 weeks w @rejectedbanana.bsky.social! It'll be our first demo of the prototype app we're building for our startup. I ordered inflatable drink holders for this today- I think we're going to bring something a bit different than other folks : )

No. Just NO.
If a vital current in the Atlantic Ocean collapses, it could rapidly cool Europe’s climate by several degrees. Researchers are proposing a bold plan to keep it going with giant parachutes.

This totally tubular robot doesn’t need a centralized processing system to hop around on land or swim in the water—it relies instead on air and simple physics. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA
Ppl seem to think that "NOAA weather forecasts" means climate-, boat-, or "in addition to my app"-weather. But the weather forecasts *we all use* are made from the NOAA data *we all paid for*
Make that part clear when you ⬇️

I’m thinking we should spread this news about the firings at NOAA as far and wide as possible. Like cancer research, weather forecasting seems likely to be broadly popular across the political spectrum. apnews.com/article/nati...
Hundreds of weather forecasters fired in latest wave of DOGE cuts
Federal workers who were not let go said the afternoon layoffs included meteorologists who do crucial local forecasts in National Weather Service offices across the U.S.
