A belated update on our new lab library books! With a budget for 6 books, we ended up adding: •Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer •Climate Changed: Models and the Built World eds. @maratimes.bsky.social, Irmak Turan, Jessica Varner, Lizzie Yarina (1/2)

I've volunteered to curate my lab's small library and am brainstorming ideas of books to add. Please share your favorite books related to climate and the environment - non-fiction and fiction recommendations welcome! #Booksky

I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world. It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world.

Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration

Budget proposal would also curb federal payments for scientific publishing.

Genuinely loving how the glut of Super Bowl content in my feed is about anti-racism & the electric grid and I still have no idea which teams played

Fund science, not war. Fund healthcare, not war. Fund clean energy, not war. Fund childcare, not war. Fund education, not war. Fund literally anything else but war.

Moving beyond carbon accounting: understanding the full climate impacts of carbon dioxide removal — CanCO2Re Initiative - Canada CDR Technologies

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is often treated as a simple balancing act: take as much CO2 out of the air as we put in, and the climate will stabilize. But beyond carbon accounting, CDR affects the cli...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

These ancient climates, to which we have now returned, are not incompatible with a living world. But they are incompatible with the world we have created. And the speed with which we have reversed 10 million years of Earth history leaves almost no time for us or the rest of Earth's life to adapt.

I have type 1 diabetes, moved to Canada from the US less than a week ago, and have already noticed several structural differences - none involving cooking classes - that help make managing diabetes easier (1/n)

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

NOAA powers the forecasts on your phone, the maps you trust, the alerts that save lives. It tracks storms, monitors climate, protects coasts, and fuels research across America. Most people use NOAA data daily—without even knowing it. Tell Congress: invest in what matters. #SaveNOAA

Most Americans use federal science information on a weekly basis, a new poll finds

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Huge crowd and strong sign game in West Chester, PA! So energizing to see so many people speaking out against hate and standing up for democracy #HandsOff

Another new paper alert! 🌊🧪 SO happy to finally see this work from my PhD published! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Chaetoceros Resting Spores Do Not Significantly Bias Sedimentary Diatom‐Bound Nitrogen Isotope Records Despite Distinctly Low Values

Chaetoceros resting spores record δ15NDB values lower than other diatoms in marine sediment and in laboratory culture The N isotopic offset of Chaetoceros resting spores relative to other diatoms...

One thing bringing me joy during these dark days is my diatom sweater! I designed and knit this sweater as part of my #KnitYourPhD project. The yoke is adorned with Chaetoceros diatoms and the bobbles around the hemline are meant to represent Chaetoceros resting spores 🧶🌊🧪

Looking for physical scientists 🧪⚒️ who do fieldwork, who've had bad experiences w/ "medical screening" or "physical qualifying (PQ)" exams & restrictions. Stereotypes used against you, disqualified w/o consultation, etc. We're putting together a book. A new vision how PQ should work. DMs open. 📖

The application is now open for paleoCAMP 2025 (Paleoclimate Training in Climate Archives, Models, and Proxies)! For graduate students in any area of paleoclimatology, our 2 week summer school is timescale agnostic and multidisciplinary - please apply or share widely! paleoclimate.camp/apply

I just posted the pattern for these socks on Ravelry: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... Not sure who else besides me would ever want to make them, but I believe in #OpenAccess! The DOIs to the datasets are also linked in the pattern 😊

Presenting the pair of socks I made for my personal #KnitYourPhD project! These socks represent data from 2 of my chapters, each down-core diatom-bound nitrogen isotope records from Holocene-aged coastal Antarctic sediment. Stay tuned for a diatom sweater!!

Happy Halloween from NBP24-10! I am Ekman drift, obviously 🌊

Lots of science and adventure happening for the next 6 weeks! #nbp2410 🌊 🇦🇶

People seem to like my KnitYourPhD socks, so I thought I’d share my first paleo-inspired knit! This blanket represents the benthic oxygen isotope stack, a famous paleoceanographic dataset showing the evolution of global temperature and ice volume over the past 5.3 million years 🧶🌊

What a day! I voted AND defended my PhD!

Happy birthday to geologist & oceanographic cartographer Marie Tharp (1920-2006), whose pioneering, thorough & complete ocean floor maps with Bruce Heezen, made using realms of echo sounder data, revealed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.⁠ 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬⚒️ #histsci ⁠ After studying #geology & math, Maurice 'Doc' Ewing 🧵

Why DIATOMS are to KNITTING as FORAMINIFERA are to CROCHET: a very niche thread 🧵

Today I achieved mud nerd bingo by visiting my 4th out of the four NSF-funded marine geological sample repositories (plus the IODP-GCR)! Very grateful to be attending the FUTURE workshop at WHOI, both for the chance to see their cores & to discuss priorities/approaches for collecting more samples

2022 GLASS alumna here, definitely would recommend!

Full head and heart after day 1 of #AGU23 ! So great to hear about cool new science and reunite with old friends 🤓🥰

Hello, Bluesky! Can’t think of a better way of introducing myself than by sharing pics of things I’ve recently knit for the hydrothermal vent spire on display at URI-GSO’s rock & core repository
