These mass terminations of our nation’s brightest scientists — including in Boulder and beyond — are clearly unlawful, and we will do everything we can to reverse them!

This is the first in an occasional series on ‘older ocean science papers you should read’.
Ever wonder why cans no longer have Pb soldered seams? In 1980, Settle and Patterson used methods developed to measure Pb in seawater and measured lead in canned tuna. In Science (tinyurl.com/y4z83z8j), 1/4

It tells me they don’t trust the associate editors’ judgment.
We’re doing a little Cd reconstruction in Baffin Bay and the GEOTRACES data through Parry Channel has been very handy.
Are you going to have cadmium from Nares Strait? I want to see 0.3 nmol/kg at the north end.

Thank you!
