This is devestating. The importance of what Maine Sea Grant does for the state and its working waterfront and supporting research cannot be overstated. Just absolute foolishness and harm to one of our most important states fisheries. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

@markruffalo.bsky.social How can we get more entertainers with reach to combat misinformation, promote science-based decision-making, conversation vs hate. We need to invest in and promote communicators to engage a broader public. Thx for all you do. We'd love to work with you.

Stunned at every firing, but when I saw Dr. Andy Hazelton among them, I knew this was madness. He is literally a voice of expertise, patriotism, and knowledge for us all during hurricane season

As a child going to the National Parks inspired a love of the land, nature, & country. Data & warnings from NOAA have kept me safe. In other countries, I've seen dangerous safety conditions, lack of access to clean water, air, & safe food. STOP changes that take away from what makes America great.

NOAA Fisheries published a 'final rule' on December 17, 2024 to change the status of the magnificent Caribbean pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) - from "threatened" to "endangered". The rule was halted by President Trump's January 20th memorandum, entitled “Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.”

Hey DOGE here's a great way to save tens of billions of $$$ each year, get rid of oil industry subsidies (they're making trillions why should we be subsidizing them) and harmful fisheries subsidies. Now that would be great cost cutting. 🧪🐟🌍

Most people don't know what biodiversity is or why they should care about it. It's why I wrote a book relating marine biodiversity to food, jobs, health, technology, the economy etc. We need to talk how the loss of science, personnel, jobs, & data impacts people/focus on things they care about. 🧪📚

Writing non-fiction books, showcasing science and why it matters is not going to make us famous or a lot of money, but sometimes the rewards are priceless! This morning walking the dog, a car pulled up, window rolled down and a reader told us how much she loved our book. Thank you! Especially now. 🧪

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Can a humpback #whale really swallow a human with or without kayak. NO!!!! Throats are too small. Okay, news media we know you love to make it dramatic, but this is ridiculous. What about this image, can you say AI? Geez. Just remember headline writers write for click bait not science or reality. 🧪

Many in biotech/private sector are boasting about their ways of funding and doing science But they are staffed with PhDs and postdocs we train in our NIH and NSF funded labs in universities With university labs lacking funds to train, the private sector will be profoundly harmed

Family on beach wondering what this pretty balloon thing is today in Stuart, FL. DO NOT TOUCH, even on the beach & be very cautious going in the water. They can be hard to see in the ocean. Portuguese Man-O-War have a dangerously strong sting! FYI not a jellyfish but closely related siphonophore. 🧪
