Just listened to a presser about the Iran deal and the President said his motorcade drove by stations in Iowa selling gas at $1 something? Squeeze me? That’s no where I. The country. Average in Iowa right now is mid $3’s. Of course no one will call him on it

This is super cool! The Artemis II re-entry was captured on the Space Station cam. It's really hard to see at first, but it starts at 32 seconds in the video, very close to the right side, under the S in SEN -- on the horizon. Lasts about 10 seconds or so. www.sen.com/video/48b728... #scicomm 🧪

Something like this should shut down any arguments that it's all fake. Right? That would be quite an effort to put something in the night sky heading to the Moon just for a hoax. www.lsu.edu/blog/2026/04... #SciComm 🧪

Truly honored and energized to be named among the 2025 AAAS Fellows. This one means a lot. Deep respect for this organization. It's fuel to go even deeper on promoting and communicating science. Let's get to work. #science #scicomm 🧪

New plan. When any president decides to go to war, his children of draftable age should be drafted and be stationed on the front lines, even if there isn’t a draft

Fun little paper we published last month got picked up by earth.com. The author got it mostly right. There was no press release so he seemed to go above and beyond and read the paper and some citations in it and used references. Nice work. #scicomm 🧪 www.earth.com/news/antarct...

I think I'd be quite happy if AI capability was frozen at this level. It is a handy tool now, but does not want to exterminate us yet. Nevertheless, I'm always very polite when interacting with it just in case... #scicomm 🧪

Our research impact reaches all the way to Antarctica! 🌎 LSU researcher @icedoctord.bsky.social and team at @lsugeology.bsky.social have documented, in rare detail, a large brine discharge event at Blood Falls. The salty, blood-colored water flows out when pressure under Taylor Glacier rises.

The oldest building around these parts. Scott's Hut built in 1902 to support his first attempt at the South Pole. It was on this expedition that he discovered the dry valleys across the McMurdo Sound and made some observations we still use today in our science. #scicomm #Antarctica #history 🧪

A-Hut, the original building of New Zealand’s Scott Base in Antarctica, built by Edmund Hilary in 1957. Picture taken from the bar in the modern Scott Base which is soon to be torn down because of its age and rebuilt (Hilary’s Hit will remain untouched of course). #scicomm

Thanksgiving dinner at Lake Hoare Camp in Taylor Valley, Antarctica. Good food and good company. There was a pie per person (but many left overs) #antarctica #science

At Lake Fryxell Camp in Taylor valley we get our drinking water by collecting then melting "glacier berries". About a 2 km ATV ride from the camp to the berry patch at the edge of Canada Glacier #scicomm 🧪 #antarctica

Landed yesterday at Phoenix Air Field (NZFX) near McMurdo Station Antarctica. I will be headed to the McMurdo Dry Valleys for research from here for the next month or so. Follow along #scicomm

Starting my 29th expedition to the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica. First leg is home to Christchurch N.Z. There for 3 days (plus or minus) then head down from there. Will be posting here as much as I can. #scicomm 🧪

Found this old photo. Late 80s, Canadian High Arctic near Eureka (Ellesmere Island). I was on an ATV, and this guy just trotted behind me at the same pace no matter how I sped up or slowed down. No aggression at all. To this day I wonder - if I’d stopped, would he have just licked my face?

I eat organic, avoid processed foods, and load up on veggies, - but modern medicine, treatments, drugs, and vaccines are what truly extend our lives. That other stuff gives a little booster. Science matters. Watch this short video—it nails the point. www.youtube.com/shorts/mEOeC... #scicomm 🧪
