I passed by A23a on our way to South Georgia! Since it was near the polar front (cloudy) this is what it looked like 🀣 we launched a weather balloon for NOAA National Weather Service @accuweather.com which feeds data from synchronized weather balloon launches around the world into weather forecasts!

@fjordphyto.bsky.social had a blast being a β€œscientist” with you on Viking Octantis. Keep up the good work! Hopefully, the new net arrives soon.

A mix of video and latest pictures from Christian Johnson's (PhD Candidate at UCSD | Scripps Institution of Oceanography @scrippsocean.bsky.social) trip to Antarctica. Christian and researchers like Dr. Allison Cusick @womanscientist.bsky.social study the impact of climate change on marine life.

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs.

I'll illustrate this using our paper published in Nature yesterday. 🧡 (1/x)
