I don’t know a single person in a research position who hasn’t felt traumatized over the last month. Kudos to everyone who is still making it to work in the morning.

My colleagues 3D printed this for me. Also another colleague brought cookies. Joy!

WATCH AND CIRCULATE: Macklemore’s a real one for this video doing what the Democrats and their surrogates refuse to do youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

My husband and I are decompressing from *waves hands* in the evening by forcing our 12 year old son to listen to us poorly sing and wax on about all the greatest hits from the 1990s. Highly recommend. @cargoculture.bsky.social

This morning feels particularly dark.

Anyone know what happens to grants that DO have some of those "list words" in them? I submitted a grant in July 2024, which does for sure have some of those words in the mandated-at-the-time broader impact section. It currently sits still pending.

For the haters.

One of our senators came to a science symposium I attended today. Her advice? "Keep calling and pushing" for unfreezing sci funding. WHO? I called your office repeatedly and you just voted to approve some of Trump's cabinet -- so who exactly am I supposed to advocate to?

100% this! We need to start having discussions about this the longer all this (waves hands) goes on.

Thanks OOI Data Labs! This was a bright gem during the last week of the longest month in history. If anyone wants to chat about how i integrate Data Labs into teaching oceanography, just let me know! datalab.marine.rutgers.edu/2025/01/teac...

Holy shit, I have never felt an earthquake before.

So a fabulous, outstanding colleague of mine just got a job offer they had pending at NOAA rescinded due to Trump's hiring freeze. So -- anyone have openings/funding for a fabulous bioinformatician, plankton ecologist?

Same for NSF...

See sea poop. #oceanography #zooplankton #fecalpellets #badassjob

Pipette/filter clear liquids into other clear liquids, herd cats, try to insert my signature into forms that clearly don't want it, write some words.

Sticker from my husband. #dinoflagellate is this safe for work?

Christmas Eve movie of choice: Arthur Christmas. A family favorite!!

Bro, where's your house?

Phytoplankton are awesome! #phytoplankon #biooce

Oh hai.

This entire thread is excellent!

Don’t yell at me for working, but I simply cannot compose on the computer when it comes to grants or intro/discussions. For any students struggling, try hand writing stuff out first, or iteratively writing and then printing/editing. #writingtips

Just had my annual mammogram. As someone who had cancer found on their first mammogram, I can’t advocate enough early detection!! #getchecked

Zydeco helping with holiday decorating.

Just a tired Associate Professor, standing here, pleading once again for a universal graduate school letter of recommendation submission portal...

The top one clicks better than the bottom and these days that is making all the difference.

Ok, here now. My brain already feels calmer.
