There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Heck of a hockey game. With all that’s going on in the world this is a nice reprieve

Surely there’s something you can do?
I’m doing everything I can. And stop calling me Shirley

One of my favorite of the many amazing projects Ken is famous for in the scientific community. I miss those years at #mbari learning from him and is team.
Almost historical. I created the Periodic Table of Elements in the Ocean back in 1998 with my son, then age 14 who wrote the JavaScript, and daughter age 12 who chased down all references in the MLML library, to figure out how we could use the internet. Nice to see it in use. #mbari #globaloceanbgc
What do #MarineChemists and #chemical #oceanographers actually do? 🌊🧪
We measure elements in the ocean. Yes, the same ones you see on the #periodic table (check out: www.mbari.org/know-your-oc...)! These measurements tell us how the ocean works and supports life. Another🧵

One of my childhood heroes. RIP
not only one of the greatest baseball players ever, but one of the greatest sportsmen ever, a larger than life persona who had an entire genre of stories based on his eccentricities and so good you could have cut his career in half and both halves would have made the Hall of Fame

RIP, Rickey

The MOST ABUNDANT PROTEIN ON EARTH is probably the one that almost all life depends on.

It makes up ~3% of the mass of every leaf & blade of grass on the planet: a total weight of 10^11 kg.

Let's talk about Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase or 'RuBisCO'.
