Nobel Prize given for showing the importance of investing in science for innovation and long-term economic growth. Basically the opposite of what the US is doing. 😭

While journal publishing has always been deeply problematic, hurting both the pace and trajectory of science, something is happening in this moment that is finally causing the system to crumble under its own weight and cost.

I love seafood and federal science.

Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas

Measles outbreak in Texas

Bird flu - first death among humans

But yes, by all means, please fire CDC, NIH, and other scientists

Everything will be fine

We are AQUASERV and our aim is clear: to provide access to research services for sustainable aquaculture, fisheries, ecological restoration and the blue economy.

Whether you're a researcher, industry professional, or policymaker, stay connected with us!

This is a great idea. There's so much focus lately on big data proteomics and the large scale ways of doing QC -- bar charts of detections, violin plots of %CV -- that the ability to look at individual spectra and chromatograms for quality is becoming a bit of a lost art.

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏

The largest jellyfish in the world is the Arctic giant jellyfish.

The dome size of the largest individual found was more than 2.28 metres and the tentacles were more than 36 metres long.

Spatial proteomics is Nature's Method of the Year for 2024!! Congrats to the great people in our field featured in this virtual issue! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ocean issues are environmental justice issues.

Read more about how marine pollution, plastics, climate change, fisheries declines, and biodiversity degradation impact human wellbeing in coastal populations.

Environmental injustices in the ocean are growing.

How do you turn a coastal nuisance into a biotech opportunity? Caribbean Sargassum blooms are being transformed into biofuels, bioplastics, and battery materials. Using engineered enzymes and salt-tolerant microbes, scientists are unlocking this untapped biomass.

What happens when cutting-edge science meets sustainable seafood? From gene editing & precision nutrition, to targeted healthcare, aquaculture is where science fuels innovation.

I’m here to explore & connect with others pushing boundaries at the nexus of biotech & sustainability 🧬♻️

Introduced to Kenya in 2008, seaweed farming has since expanded to 20 villages. The shift is driven by climate factors such as rising temperatures, sea levels, and erratic rainfall.

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:
