I wonder if I could do this with shark teeth… your pieces are so beautiful!

Protect US racial affinity groups On its first day, the Trump administration released several executive orders terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, calling them “illegal,” “immoral,” and “discriminatory” (1, 2)...

Racial affinity groups are under attack. Now is the time to redouble our commitments to these vital organizations that make science better for all. Proud to pen this letter with @khadlily.bsky.social and many @wocineeb.bsky.social colleagues

I am an AGU LANDiNG fellow and we got an email two weeks ago that the program is temporarily paused, but I will be surprised if it’s restarted

Day 1 is devastating and reading the news sends me into a spiral. I can’t engage on social media, not even here. I’m going to focus on teaching undergrads science, mentoring grad students and other early career scientists, and be present for my kids. Hopefully, I can engage at some level soon

Being at the interface of Geosciences and Ecology means attending #AGU2024 in December and #SICB2025 in January. I need to switch off between these bc it’s too much back to back during winter break.

Could I get added?

It’s a hork! I have one and my kid loves it! Students pet it while distressed in my office

Please add me!

I just finished How Far the Light Reaches by @sabs.bsky.social and I’m excited to add it to my Intro to Marine Science book club. Now to come up with discussion questions!

Thanks for your invite! Not sure how active I’ll be but it’s nice to reconnect and see updates for more folks here!
