When community comes together amazing things can happen www.hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/2...

Citizen scientists collect hundreds of ocean samples to test storm runoff effects

A group of researchers has tapped into the community to get extensive water quality data after the storms. HPR’s Savannah Harriman-Pote talked to the researchers about the effort.

Zimmer also cited a survey by @nsilbiger.bsky.social & Stubler showing that unprofessional reviewer comments can be especially demoralizing for women, non‑binary scientists, & people of color, harming confidence, productivity, & career progress. In @peerj.bsky.social: peerj.com/articles/8247/

Our last paper of 2025 and I’m so excited about this one! We show that rocky intertidal foundation species are important to benthic-pelagic coupling by fueling pelagic bacteria production #EcologyLetters. 🦠 🌊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

This was such a cool project to be a part of! We used ML models to build a high-res (1.4m) land cover map, and combined terrain+weather data w/ algae+water samples from >200 lagoon sites over 4 years to understand connections between land use, precipitation, water quality, and microbial communities.

Okinawa had its hottest September at 1.6C above the average. I filmed this mass coral bleaching last year, but didn't have the heart to share. Total annihilation of the first few meters of depth. This stuff happens before our eyes, and yet people who think it isn't real keep gaining power.

Have you ever thought to yourself… how can I make my #rstats plot UGLIER? Well, look no further, cuz it’s good plot-bad plot time! My students made plots that will make you want to laugh, cry, and throw your computer out the window. Which one do you think is the worst? 🧵🧪

I found it, the chart specifically tailored to my pet peeves, its perfect 🥺
