Trump said to select Thiel protégé as NSF director
President Donald Trump is planning to nominate a libertarian protégé of billionaire Peter Thiel with no research experience to be the next National Science Foundation director, according to reports today in the New York Times and elsewhere. 1/7
An independent agency with a budget of nearly $9 billion, NSF has been led for the past 10 months by Panchanathan’s chief of staff, Brian Stone. During that time, it has lost 40% of its PhD-level staff of senior managers and program officers. 5/7

Hah, I'd been working to convince my dad he'd love your podcast with no apparent success until last month he brought up one of your episodes to me, recommending I listen! Just when you think they're beyond learning new things..
Our new instrument, the SINKing Ecology Robot (SINKER) was highlighted recently in the Monterey Herald. I love how this story highlights the contributions of the diverse team require to make these kind of advancements in ocean science. www.montereyherald.com/2026/01/09/t...
Hi, folks! I'm new to BlueSky. I'm a polar oceanographer looking at the drivers of primary production in the Southern Ocean.
Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society &the American Academy of Underwater Sciences offer two scientific diving internships. Intern applicants can be students from colleges and universities with an interest in science and diving. The program runs primarily from mid-May through August.
From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America.
President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.
We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.
my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.
Thanks for this thread. As someone recently through the tenure process it's nice to have advice on how to be a good letter writer.
"We need regulation of e-bikes!!!" people scream as SUVs and trucks get larger and deadlier and people speed and drive distracted with impunity.
I'm happy to talk about e-bike regulation as long as folks agree that the *most urgent* problem is cars.
What's interesting as the Thanksgiving Holiday arrives? The first @bgc-argo.bsky.social profiling floats begin to emerge from under Antarctic sea ice each year. Float 5905383 is the first @soccomproject.bsky.social float for 2025/26. It has spent 7.9 years operating under ice.

🌊 We’re hiring! Permanent position for an assistant research scientist in marine autonomous systems at NOC Southampton. Do you enjoy developing python tools and data workflows? And have an interest in marine science? Apply before 10 December! careers.noc.ac.uk/vacancy/assi...
For you, sure. Started working on the next version today. Think we're going to try out a close to full size version as well..
Really nice story and really nice figures here, well done Zhi and co-authors!
The printer or a float? For the latter, just send me your address, I think they come out to ~$0.05 a float (assuming my time is worth nothing...).
However I think I need to work on v5. Our product testers (aka my children) have informed me that the CTD mast breaks too easily.
Sorry to everyone whose manuscripts / prospectuses I'm late commenting on, but there was some important float manufacturing to do... 🌊 #argo #oneargo #argofloats
We're looking for a new colleague/collaborator. Please share widely!
Here is a good explanation of ocean oxygen and why it’s more nuanced than often presented 🌊

I feel like "the ocean makes half the O2 we breathe" is the chemical oceanographers version of the "gulf stream = AMOC" misunderstanding physical oceanographers deal with... 🌊
Seeking a three year postdoc in the field of ocean biogeochemistry and productivity using mechanistic models and synthesis of observations. Note the short fuse for applications. Please help distribute. All nationalities welcome to apply! 🌊

How does oxygen get from the ocean surface layer to the ocean's intermediate depth and bottom waters? 🧪🌊
I wrote a brief overview of the processes involved and the key regions of ocean ventilation:

In the 1st half of 2025, @climate.noaa.gov 's staff were terminated, shutting down daily operations.
Now, former members have joined w/ nonprofit partners to launch Climate.us, where climate info can be safeguarded from politics.
Check out our website and join the effort today.
My @ternbicycles.com GSD may be the best purchase I have ever made in my life. It's hard to overstate how much I enjoy riding it with my kids. We've been able to avoid getting a second car as well, which is a huge financial help. It was my first ebike and I'm convinced everyone should try one.
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy.
I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
"Negative CO2 emissions" became a hot topic in oceanography. Yet there are many concerns about potential side-effects of trying to manipulate the C cycle. With partners from across Guangdong & Hong Kong we've developed a coastal site to investigate side-effects of Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement 🌊 🐠
My first PhD student, Shannon McClish, successfully defended last week. She's been at the leading edge of research into the linkages between surface production and biological carbon export. Couldn't be more proud of her and her work. Its nice to have something to celebrate these days.
