Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.

They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. 👏🌳👏🌲

Check it out (link below)!

I, too, am in Colorado right now. I don't know why this matters. But I also delivered a GO BIRDS to a liftie this weekend.

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual) and plural (multiple individuals of the same species.) “Fishes” is multiple species.

🐠 Fish

🐠🐠🐠 Fish

🐠🐡🐟 Fishes

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

my personal professional experience is that I spend more quality time with my DC-area colleagues when we are all at a meeting somewhere else than I do when we are all in the same city 🤷‍♀️

The one science reform we can all agree on, but we're too cowardly to do OR: the long overdue forest fire

"Of all the crazy parts of our crazy system, the craziest part is where taxpayers pay for the research, then pay private companies to publish it, and then pay again so scientists can read it." Adam Mastroianni always a good read. #scientificpublishing

This is not just any random report. This is a review of how the major federal fisheries on the U.S. west coast are assessed, basically how U.S. fisheries management should be altered so that it works better.
