Hi bubble, Can anyone recommend a US customs broker for handling samples shipped on dry ice (non-commercial)? We're sending RNA to JGI for sequencing and they recommend working with with a brokers so the shipment does not get held up in customs. Any experiences?

⚒️ An extremely important thread from @holdingupthesky.bsky.social. To her questions I’d add: - What does the leadership at AGU see as its primary mission? - How, if at all, does leaping into precompliance; and, at best, burying references to diversity and equity work, support that mission?

I want to see the American Geophysical Union (AGU) continue its awesome work on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. This thread is a call to AGU and AGU members. 1/

Extremely important thread on the @agu.org leaderships' failure to be transparent in its sudden removal of Diversity related content from its website. I personally have lost confidence in executive leadership, in the week following this "comply in advance". They sold us out. They need to resign IMO

After the Marshall Fire in 2021, there were many questions from residents about the environmental impacts: did the smoke from the fire leave a lasting impact on air quality and health? And how could people protect themselves? Yesterday our groups published 2 papers on this topic. #MarshallFire

I recently organized a field campaign with some of my MSc and PhD students. One student took her young child along. We rented a minibus with a children's seat. University & funding agency tell me that my grant cannot pay the fee for the kids seat. God I wonder why this pipeline is leaky.
