We're away from our lovely light and temperature controlled incubators @exoceanlab.bsky.social, but that doesn't mean we can't keep our plankton happy. @biosstation.bsky.social water baths to the rescue. If you've ever wondered what culturing for trace isotope systems looks like, it's this! #d11B

When your plankton sample smiles back at you 😊 💙. My colleague Maria Kavanaugh @lifewesea.bsky.social captured this on the IFCB today on board the @noaa.gov F/V Shimada where we are collecting samples in the N. Cali Current. Sometimes the ocean just sends you a little love. #Phytoplankton #Diatoms

I can feel the anxiety from aaaalllll the way across the pond. The anxiety here is palpable as well.
We had a Symposium on mCDR on the last afternoon of #EGU25 Not easy but still a good one
Yet during EGU25 there was a sense of fear about research. The optimism of past years was missing replaced by anxiety that some science might no longer be done as we’ve known it. This uncertainty is frightening

I’m not going to retweet that NOAA propaganda post about deep sea mining.
Instead, I’ll tell you that I don’t know a single NOAA scientist who would promote deep sea mining in this way, because the available science we have does not justify exploitation of deep sea habitats for minerals.

Universities have documentation on awards status. Why take screenshots? downloads? Is any of this actually necessary? Grant intake info resides at institutional research offices. (admittedly, I saw this and instantly downloaded an excel spreadsheet of my grants, but am not sure this is necessary)
ATTENTION: NSF GRANT RECIPIENTS
We received a heads up from a trusted source that you should proactively download/print/screen shot any documentation on research.gov pertaining to your NSF awards, both those that are current and any that have closed in the last 5-6 years.

Hello! I'm Michael Warren and I write about birds/nature in early culture. The Cuckoo's Lea is out soon and with cuckoos now arriving this seemed like the perfect time for my debut post. I'll be posting lots on birds in our place-names, starting with cuckoos tomorrow! #naturewriting #birdsandplace

We have a little zoo here with 5 pets (few foster fails during COVID). Last summer, they were chillin' in my back yard & I got these great photos.... little pet photoshoot. The only one that wouldn't cooperate was Gus the Russian Blue (not pictured). #fosterfails #snowshoe #tabby #caturday

These are some very unhappy Globigerina bulloides #Forams. I have no idea what is going on here. Are they decalcifying? What are the vacuoles around the specimen? Until this field season, I had never observed this. These were also in the high CO2 "bad water". Has anyone observed this before?

I just found what I thought were deleted photos from our 2023 field season of #forams grown in "The Bad Water" (pCO2 = 800ppm). The forams weren't happy, but the symbionts were! Here, we captured the moment the organic template formed in the final chamber of Orbulina universa for #transcriptomics
