I feel that.

Graphic of a space shuttle launching with flames trailing behind. Overlaid text reads: “NASA Glenn Research Center… generates $2.4 billion for Ohio, grants $100 million to Ohio universities, supports almost 10,000 jobs in Ohio. Your representative is voting to… fire 40% of its employees, slash NASA funding by 24%, defund the NIH and NSF. Speak up before it’s too late. FIGHT BACK. STAND WITH NASA GLENN. June 21, 2025 | 12–4 PM | Willard Park, Cleveland, OH Contact standupforsciencecleveland@gmail.com to get involved or volunteer as a speaker.

Join us in Cleveland as we fight back against the proposed cuts to NASA!

The proposed FY26 budget cuts 40% of civil servant jobs at NASA Glenn, crippling their testing facilities that keep us safe. Let’s make sure it doesn’t go through!

Great dive yesterday @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social with graduate students from UCSC to monitor giant kelp recruitment! #PhycologyFriday

Part of figure 1 for the paper. There is a map of the field sites and an overview of the lab experiment. Field measurements were temperature and salinity. Lab was only salinity

My ✨new paper✨ looking at how low salinity and high temperatures alter the bacterial community of sugar #kelp was just published!

Lab and field results agree: the overall changes are small, but core taxa decrease under abiotic stress

Wow!

A single episode of sexual reproduction can produce large variation in population growth rates under dual stressors Abstract. Sexual reproduction has been a central topic in evolutionary biology because of its many costs: why have organisms evolved sexual reproduction de

Experiments of a green alga, Closterium psl. complex, show that a single episode of sexual reproduction produces large variation in population growth rates under dual stressors, promoting evolutionary rescue:

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social thought you would appreciate this #caturday post

Undaria pinnatifida, a brown alga found on Takeno, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

A virtual flyer for an online event titled, “The What, Why, and How of Kelp Forest Restoration” with Pike Spector and Tristin Anoush McHugh. The top image is of intertwined golden brown blades of giant kelp rising towards the sun lit ocean surface. The water is blue and clear. Below is the title of the talk in white letters on a green background. To the right are stacked headshots of a blonde woman above a bearded man in a red beanie

Interested in learning more about innovate restoration and kelp forest ecology?

Join me and Tristin as we dive deep into kelp forests and explore ways to help the kelp!
