Many thanks to @juliepourtois.bsky.social, @tgoel.bsky.social, and @beckettstephen.bsky.social (U of Maryland) and Eric Schott (IME) for organizing the 2nd Annual Chesapeake Area Viral Ecology (CAVE) workshop in Baltimore last Friday, with folks spanning MD, VA, and DE & support from MD Sea Grant.

Had a great time at the Chesapeake Aquatic Viral Ecology meeting last week. Thanks all for the science and discussions, to fellow coorganizers @tgoel.bsky.social , @juliepourtois.bsky.social and Eric Schott, and to Maryland Sea Grant for supporting our meeting.

Proposed scientific funding cuts would be devastating to communities across the country. Proud to be part of the SCIMaP team helping to make these impacts clear, led by @asinclair.bsky.social & @joshuasweitz.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
