I have a 3 year old and I could not imagine being separated from her…the cruelty is beyond comprehension.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Bad Bunny's historical advisor is an assistant professor at UW-Madison.

Hell of a flex for your tenure file.

Kevin M. Levin @civilwarmemory.bsky.social · 17h

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.

Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

What a send off for my last year in the US 💙💚💙💚 #GoHawks 12 years ago during grad school in Seattle 🐟

Not in the slightest. And when we try to get them removed, the onus is placed on the victims. Super fun.

Seeing as how @seahawksofficial.com are also a predatory bird, I think #GoHawks is the right answer for this #SuperbOwl Sunday.

With that paper finally off my desk, I immediately started writing up a short little #aquaculture modeling paper that I'm excited about. I think one thing I have learned about myself after the many years as a scientist is I LOVE writing papers. Oddly & unfortunately, writing proposals is meh 🙃...

Coming from THE Ricker, then I gladly accept that advice 🧠. I'll be sharing this keen insight with my lab.

Bill Ricker told Tom Quinn that you should wait at least ten years between getting an idea and data, and publishing it, to ensure it ruminates properly. He has more highly cited fisheries contributions than anyone else.

Thanks @trevorabranch.bsky.social! Definitely a good morale boost given the time it took.

I just resubmitted revisions to a manuscript that has been in the works for SEVEN years looking at the dynamics between local wild capture and #aquaculture production, as far back as the 1800s. With comments like this, I'm hoping we have an acceptance on our hands...🤞 🎣 ➡️🦪

Well done, this is a significant and novel contribution to the literature. It was refreshing to review such a well presented and robust study.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

Did you know Helsinki #Finland is building a massive bridge to connect some of their major islands to the mainland, but private cars are not allowed!

@davidho.bsky.social your dream bridge, I wager?

How Finland’s longest and tallest bridge is being constructed to achieve a 200-year design life

Meeting crequirements of a 200-year design life for the Kruunuvuori Bridge demanded ingenuity in structural engineering and material choices.

The normalcy of a day in academia (response to reviews on a paper, a editorial board meeting for a journal, proposal ideas...) positioned against the reality of the nation is proving a lot for my brain to handle and compartmentalize. Anyone else?

Trump has sued universities for billions. Here's what the strategy tells us

Each deal between colleges and the administration is unique, but they have common goals: altering the culture at powerful institutions and making their policies more aligned with President Trump's.

this article about Texas A&M is a tour de force about what's happening on campus. Incredibly well written and sharply on point.

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science.

Assuming I get selected for the single #aquaculture session (🤞🎻), let me know if you're attending so we can connect.
