Make no mistake. This is a MINISCULE drop in the Federal budget bucket but a MONUMENTAL loss of talent, resources invested, and knowledge. Extremely short sighted. ahttps://www.npr.org/2025/02/18/nx-s1-5301049/national-science-foundation-fires-roughly-10-of-its-workforce

This excellent Nature paper from 2015 discussed multiple ways that sex is not binary, and why the idea of two sexes is simplistic. Required reading right now - please share! www.nature.com/articles/518... 🧪👨‍🔬🧬🖥️

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Did we mention we got a new Cam inside a new glass dome (and a hydrophone!) to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the launch of the CCC’s YouTube livestream? Coral City After Dark never looked (or sounded) so good! #miamidolphin #coralcityafterdark #coralcitycamera #coralcity

It’s been a tough few weeks receiving phone calls, texts, & stories from science colleagues, students, & friends on the brink of losing research funding &/or Federal positions they worked many years to obtain. Most immediately, I feel for my students graduating into such uncertainty this spring.

Just added one of my favorite colleagues, extreme weather attribution expert @michaelfwehner.bsky.social, to my very first OG starter pack 😄 I also curate a comprehensive feed of 4,400 scientists who study climate. See below for the link to pin it!

What will the future of the warming stripes be? 2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year. Which one of these stories becomes reality depends on our choices today, and every day until then. We are likely to regret not acting sooner.

This is the sentiment from everyone I know (myself included) in academia right now. PSA for folks I haven’t responded to (especially students interested in joining my research group): My sincere apologies. It feels almost impossible to keep up with email these days. Please keep reaching out!

I'm more of a jellyfish person, but for #crustmas, I can share a couple of my favorite deep-sea crustaceans: Anuropus is an isopod which lives inside the bell of the giant medusa Deepstaria, and Nebaliopsis is a speedy swimmer, seen here brooding its young. 🦑🧪🌊

So I've arrived in Curacao and did three dives yesterday. Today I will post the good news. First, I saw a live and healthy looking Pilar Coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) for the first time since the start of the spread of SLCTD (stony coral tissue loss disease)! #HopeForReefs

For me, as a human woman walking to my polling place in a tank top in November, you better bet I voted with women’s rights and climate change at the forefront of my mind. The best we can do is show up and vote for what we think is best. Please don’t let your voice and vote go unheard.
