Day-tripped to Grand Canyon NPS and hiked down to the Colorado River via Hermit’s Rest Trail. So much to take in along the way. Last photo is a fossilized tetrapod track from the Permian era. 🏜️

Myself at the #ASLO25: co-chair the zooplankton ecology session chaired by @yniimi808.bsky.social! Great talks, including the one by Yuuki himself. And, what can I do? I selfie - bombed Yuuki during his talk

Yesterday we had a very active day at #ASLO25 with five #NSFfunded presentations (sorry Sem I did not get you on picture!), including our ASLOMP scholar Serena, @yniimi808.bsky.social, Rocío and Amy! Lots of interesting chats with colleagues, and new collaborations on the horizon. Good job team!

I'm giving a talk on marine CO₂ removal (mCDR) while all my colleagues who work on mCDR are away at the Ocean Visions Summit in Vancouver. 🥲

Spent the day at White Pocket, an area in northern Arizona with some of the most spectacular examples (1) of soft-sediment deformation in the Navajo Sandstone and (2) of the polygonal weathering that affects the resulting homogenous rock. These photos were taken with a drone (which is OK to use)

Excited to share our recent paper, which is one of the first phylogenomic analyses of copepods 🧪
TLDR: the order Harpacticoida should be split, with 2 families forming their own new order—Canuelloida

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

More than 20 years ago countries came together at #CBD to adopt a resolution to protect deep-sea ecosystems from destructive fishing practices but #seamounts remain at risk.
Last year we launched our campaign #OceanLifeLines to #ProtectSeamounts.
