Pandas, snow leopards...and bacteria. A newly formed team of scientists is setting out to conserve the world's diversity of microbes. Here's my story: nyti.ms/47vEfRC

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.
2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.
3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes
1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible.
2. "alignment with Administration priorities"
3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem.

A recent study co-authored by MIT CS3 Senior Research Scientist Stephanie Dutkiewicz could lead to better understanding/monitoring of marine microbial dynamics and their impact on #ocean #ecosystems -- and to more accurate #climate models. She explains this work in our latest CS3 Research Insight. 🧪

🎆 Nature’s light show doesn’t need fireworks.
While we’re watching light shows in the sky this 4th of July, tiny organisms in the ocean are lighting up the water below.
🤔Have you ever seen bioluminescence? Let us know in the comments! ⤵️

Set myself a reading schedule for the summer but with theme weeks to make it more fun. Happy cyanobacteria community ecology week to all who celebrate (me) lol
