Every state in the contiguous U.S. is touched by drought now. Some entire states are in some degree of drought, including Florida.

Same for me in academic writing 😂😂😂
My writing process is usually:

a) I got this
b) well, fuck
c) wait that part was real good
d) wait no that part sucks
e) I am a god of this place
f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here
g) oh man I just figured it all out
h) mistakes were made
I) existential dread

Science!

We looked at the diversity of fishes that eat ectoparasitic isopods Turns out LOTS of species eat them occasionally & among the cleanerfish, the part-timers (facultative cleaners) might be putting in as much work as the full-timers (dedicated cleaners).

I think contributing to Skype-a-Scientist is the most efficient investment you can make into science outreach! This program reaches a huge number of kids in schools, and provides us a way to find the way to talk to the people who want to talk to us!
Yup. Just scheduled the email asking everyone whose email I have for a donation. Giving Tuesday is the great nonprofit battle royale. Many nonprofits have staff dedicated to getting donations, our donor management team is a 13 year old cat named Rupert. He’s no use at all.
