Yup, I have nothing against Megalodon, even wrote about them and the fact that they are EXTINCT in our recent book combating ocean and atmosphere misinformation, but hey MD legislators aren't there more important things to focus on.......nice job @whysharksmatter.bsky.social 🧪
For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩🚀🚀💕
*All four astronauts went to public schools!
Excellent article today in the NYTimes about the need for tsunami evacuation structures in the PNW.
Oh no. NSF Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program shuttered.
This one leaves me winded. A good story from 2025 by @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social offers insight into what we are losing: www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
This is just amazing!! The NOAA GOES West satellite was watching the launch of Artemis!! 🧪 @elprager.bsky.social
Learn more about Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and what the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) is doing to help understand, forecast, and mitigate them in this discussion with Clarissa Anderson, Ph.D. A great example of science for society. 🧪

Science News from research organizations Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing - Colonies surged 15-fold A lab-made diet supercharged bee colonies and could help save our food supply. Date: March 27, 2026 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Scientists have developed a breakthrough "superfood" for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in pollen. In controlled tri-als, colonies fed this specially designed diet produced up to 15 times more young, showing a dramatic boost in reproduction and overall health. As climate change and modern agriculture reduce the availability of natural pollen, this innovation could offer a practical way to support struggling bee populations.
Thank you University of Oxford! 🐝🌎
Yes, and there are exceptionally insane people out there. Always going to be some!
The way I look at most bad reviews is that you cannot write a book for all readers. Some go into it looking for a different story, character, type of information, level of understanding or just have personal preferences on style or an agenda etc. But when readers get it.....that's the reward.
The universe is a glorious, stunningly beautiful place, and it’s offensive & gross when people produce or share fake space imagery.
There’s a video floating around on here pretending to be the night sky viewed from Mars. It’s extremely fake, has been polluting the internet for years. Don’t share it
This is so valuable. Spread it way beyond the bluesky bubble though!
After a long hard battle with illness, it is with a heavy heart that I report the loss of Linda Glover. She was a fierce friend, colleague, and pioneer in ocean science, policy and as a conservation advocate. This is a lovely tribute to her extraordinary life.

“If you see dolphins, it’s safe to go in the water because sharks are afraid of dolphins” is pseudoscientific nonsense.
Dolphins and sharks are near each other all the time eating small fish close to shore. If you see dolphins feeding there are almost certainly sharks feeding nearby!
Had a great time with @elprager.bsky.social at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC to listen to Dr. Larry Mayer talk about ocean mapping and why it is so important. 🧪🍀 youtube.com/shorts/eQrrM...
Blizzard across Great Lakes, severe weather from FL north, but tornado threat thankfully diminishes in today's update for the All-Hazards Consortium. Wow! TX dust storm in satellite imagery and extreme heat in the west. Please stay weather aware and stay safe. 🧪❄️🌬️

NEW: Tornado watch issued for entire area until 7 p.m.
NWS has issued a tornado watch for the entire region until 7 p.m. Remember that a watch means ingredients are in place for tornadoes, not a guarantee. But if a WARNING is issued, seek shelter immediately.
Updates at cwg.live
Trump just approved the first completely new BP oilfield drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico since Deepwater Horizon, which devastated the region 16 years ago.
The new ultra-deepwater project, Kaskida, would pose an unacceptable risk to Gulf communities and wildlife.
We deserve better.
As an author & avid reader, always love to share a good read. If you like adventure, suspense, & writers who can integrate history, science, & real locations into the story, highly recommend James Rollins. Just finished this one. Hard to put down, especially the last quarter of the book. #booksky 📚🧪
Special update for the All-Hazards Consortium on severe weather event unfolding right now with widespread impacts including blizzard conditions, high winds, possible tornadoes and potential power outages. Please stay aware, have a safe place to shelter if needed. 🧪🌬️🌪️

Journalist friends, anyone want to investigate if this great white shark that washed up near-death the next day nearby was the same shark?
Illegal fishing harming a protected species is a better story than “wow look at this cool fish someone caught.”

One of my favorites. When diving, sometimes they will line up as if playing follow-the-leader with the lead squid hovering closer waving its arms and changing colors, all the others in line then do the same thing....so awesome. 🧪🦑🌊
Severe weather shifts east, high impact event to strike HA, an atmospheric river to hit the Pacific NW and high winds in today's update for the All-Hazards Consortium. Ocean observing around HA with PacIOOS and some additional safety advice as well. 🧪🌊🌬️🌧️

Getting ready to pitch #publishers always makes me nervous. An exciting middle grade fiction adventure #book with cliffhangers, humor, fun characters & science! There's a museum heist, a mysterious crystal, conspiracy theories, weird weather, ocean tech & more as in photos. Wish me luck! 🧪📚#booksky
Major storm to impact #Hawaii and potential for severe weather including tornadoes today and tomorrow in the lower 48 in today's update for the All-Hazards Consortium. Also high winds, wildfire risks, and possible flooding. Please stay aware and stay safe. 🧪🌬️🌊

I personally witnessed someone trying to get one off (another brand) when they were panicking in the water in the Galapagos, before I hauled their ass in. These masks should not be used snorkeling and not sold by reputable retailers.
