Professors at USGS coop units were absolutely critical parts of my education at 3 different universities. They're probably affiliated with more useful conservation research than any other agency on earth. Join the rally to defend science next week!

While we're debating what quotes the new Pope did or did not actually say, here's your regularly scheduled reminder that the Bishop of Pittsburgh read my book and has decreed that sandbar shark is #BestShark.

I keep seeing heartbreaking stories about people who spend years in grad school, apply to jobs, and only then learn that their dream job needs a skill they didnβt learn during grad school.
Looking at job ads *now*, years before youβre applying, can help identify skills to develop.

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA.
Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out

My sculpin rod.
Columbia sculpin.
Sculpin fishing has a following in Japan, where anglers use a short rod and poke bait under rocks.
I made my own sculpin rod fastening a tip to a broken section of fly rod.
Sculpins are small but they bite aggressively. A niche sport.
