Proud 🧪 post: @iangtaylor.bsky.social, other collaborators, and I have been working furiously despite *waves hands* to produce the best possible science for management of yellowtail rockfish. Today, our draft document (typos and all! 😶‍🌫️) was posted publicly prior to the review 2 weeks from now.

This is my office building at the aging @noaa.gov Northwest Fisheries Science Center. Through the IRA act, congress allocated funds that were going to help move to a new leased facility. "It is critical to maintain continuity of NOAA Fisheries’ science missions in the Northwest."

Photo of an uninspiring red and cream-colored 2-story office building surrounded by parking lots and older buildings. There are two minivans parked in front. One of the buildings in the background has a brick facade and looks nice, but has issues with heating and cooling (not visible in photo).

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

I've worked in public service for the U.S. government for 15 years and have never been more insulted than by the email that said "The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector."

One of the joys of being a federal employee is the dedication of all of my colleagues to our important mission (in this case providing the scientific basis for annual catch limits that sustainable seafood and fishery jobs depend on). Every one of us strives for excellence in our daily work.

Another #fisheries #job: NOAA is hiring a Research Social Scientist to coordinate and guide the NMFS Human Dimensions Program. This is a permanent FTE position (US nationals only) with five potential duty stations around the US. Closes Jan 22: www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewD...
