A great outreach on Climate Change from University of Melbourne aimed at kids. Hosts do a great job - not too heavy, keeps an optimistic tone, but real, honest answers. Not too simple, not too complex! Thank you @katharinehayhoe.com for putting this in your newsletter. 🧪 youtu.be/v1aq1dfgocc?...

While doing my postdoc I did a number of outreach efforts based on the fisheries visual sampling system we developed. Putting a video system between the belly and cod end of a trawl net ( see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLy... ). This piece ended up in a couple pubs and a Museum exhibit: 🧪🐡🦑🐟

Just got off phone w/ Mom. (yes 1am here) At Christmas I casually said she was ADHD like me, but she had never thought of it (mind she is 70+). She thanked me tonight, said she now feels better (emotionally) than in decades. Also told me dad (retired Military Judge) acknowledged her ADHD. Tears

Ok... now that conference prep is put to bed. Time to get the next edition of the journal as close as possible - Don't want to have to do full court press when I get back... 3 full page multi-panels to relay out, one chart that has really poor colour use, (and not colour blind safe) so rebuild that

Oy vey! That was a VERY long night, but got it done. Poster designed and populated with descriptions of 40+ films and videos for the Film Fest. Pulled inspiration from old posters for the Orpheum and interior details of the theater. Most likely no one will "get it" unless they are from NOLA, but..

Random trivia learned while trying to develop a “film fast” poster for the conference - the first profitable indoor theater was in New Orleans - opened July 26, 1896 Vitascope Hall @ 623 Canal was the only profitable theater of 40 that used Edison’s initial Vitascope projector

NOLA friends and fans - Which should I feature for a "Film Fest" poster as the backdrop - The Orpheum or The Fillmore I like that Orpheum is from 1918 and did show movies, but the music history of the Fillmore....

Every night Brenna and I watch one show (often Father Brown, or Star Trek) and _almost_ every night this is where Oreo can be found for that hour.

What was originally marginally true enough to be funny satire… is now so flabbergasting true that it now triggers laughing sarcastically or hysterically so you don’t cry and bury yourself in a barrel of whiskey.

Wow, this _may_ change my mind about utility of current gen AI and its impact on society (and “proof” that “AI” is at its core a tool. One that mostly is used for unethical - art generation, writing homework or essay - or at best lazy uses, but like any tool _can_ be used for good?)

‘The last plant left’: can Rapa Nui’s extinct tree be resurrected? Seeds from the last toromiro, unique to remote Easter Island, were taken away in the 1960s. Now, after a crucial discovery gave hope for its survival, it is making a return www.theguardian.com/environment/...

(shhh don't let "Science" hear this - they'll kick me out of the club) I am a bit of jack-of-all-trades type. In a previous life I was a theater nerd, have animation work credits (IATSE local 839) Now I find myself again doing props, and creature effects makeup for this years conference. Weird life!

The "lips", mouth and radula (think toothed tongue) of a common Slipper Snail (Crepidula fornicata) a common marine snail here (invasive in Europe). Approximately 67x magnification. Love seeing the radula clearly as it grasps a string of mucous and algae ( green tinted grey "rope") 🐡🐙🦑🧪

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

These types of season shift mismatches between species are pernicious, often tricky to pin down, biologically and economically dangerous and worst part is there is little (currently) that can be done to mediate, except what we are already failing to do - get a handle on minimizing climate change
