Some exciting news to share: very soon, NOAA Research will be hiring new federal employees into science positions across the agency! A couple of notes:

1) They will only be open on USAJobs for seven days.
2) Multiple positions at different sites may be in one posting.

Just an FYI that climate doom is brewing on social media right now, and it all stems from the UN water bankruptcy report.

Multiple viral videos have convinced young people that the whole world will run out of freshwater over the next decade, and they are refusing to listen to experts about it.

My degree requires I finish an internship before I graduate. Does anyone know where I can get some good marine mammal medicine experience? Preferably one that's not too hard on the joints? 🦑 #MarMam

And remember - do not approach harbor seal pups if you see them in the wild! It's not an issue of stress for them but the mothers go off foraging and will see you from the water - and if you linger too long, they might abandon their pup. Enjoy them from afar!
