Super annoyed that after listening to 4 books in a series (and getting hooked) the next several books in the series are ONLY available as audio books exclusively on Audible. I do not (and will not) use Audible. #ReleaseTheBooks !

I have once again attained an academic email (adjunct) and the best thing is that I have regained access to academic science journals!

Started listening to #ScienceUnderSiege at work and 3 coworkers started listening in. When I asked if they wanted me to silence it, they said “No, we still want to listen.” Thx @michaelemann.bsky.social

I definitely want this book on my reading shelf. Looks fantastic!
Our science photo book The Radiant Sea is out Sept 2nd!!
30 years of research, 10 years of "we should", and a year of collating pix and writing.
Sönke and I show (mostly for the first time) images of how organisms produce, use, and interact with light in the sea. #bioluminescence #fluorescence 🦑🧪🌊

I added this sentence to the end of my (very long) application for an art project grant. "It is also important to me to note that my work and the content of this application have not utilized any AI." #sciart

Book structure I just finished. It has a whale spectrogram on the center insert. Background is plankton illustration by Masha Titova (artist I am collaborating with). Working on better ways to photograph whole book. QR code goes to whale audio! #cavepaper #sciart #marinelife #spectrogram Thx NOAA

I'm working on a rather extensive application for an art grant. The last section asks "Is there anything else you want the panel to know?" and the last thing I included was "All of the words in this application were written by me, unaided by any AI."

Bottom Trawlers are just so destructive. And an unnecessary, destructive, wasteful, and inefficient way to harvest fish. This video shows the underwater truth of trawlers.
I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

We are in Tutka Bay (Kachemak Bay, AK) for this minus tide cycle. Lots of Evasterias, a dozen or so Pycnopodia, many Dermasterias (w some tiny babies!) and all the other usual suspects. We found a Giant Sea Peach (12”!), the largest I have seen. More to come today 🦑 #marinelife #seastars #intertidal

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love the mix of SciFi and Hawaiian pidgin. The characters are terrific. And the ending... did not disappoint (and was not anticipated). Mahalo Makana for a great read. I will be looking for more of your writing!

Another day, another dive. Pls note, originally today was a transit day, but due to a weather window, there WILL be a dive today. Tune in for the livestream. It's like scuba diving without getting wet! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DAj... #OkeanosExplorer EX2503 dive 4 #Papahānaumokuākea #MarineLife
