We have seats at the bar in the spirit corner!

We did decide on PB correct?

Wooo looking forward!

Day 21: A multiagency morning ride. Gorgeous day, but we all sure would rather be working.

Temporal evolution of the GJES: (a) Rate and cumulative number of earthquakes from TM detection. (b) Seismicity timeline: Moment magnitudes of TM detections color-coded by template association. (c) Statistical analysis I: Diurnalized a-value (i.e., normalized to reflect a rate based on a 24-hour reference period) and b-value of TM detections larger MC=MW0.7.

I don't want to say this was completely unexpected, because this is something changes in ice coverage can affect, but increasing seismic hazards is not the first impact of climate change that comes to mind. 🧪

Astrobiologists/geobiologists: what basic science have we done that has led to practical inventions / applications?

The obvious answer is Thermus aquaticus -> Taq -> PCR... but there must be other examples?

But… they’re so cute. Irresistible.

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time (Gift Article) Researchers diving in a submersible in the eastern Pacific realized that the landscape they had studied the day before had been glassed over by fresh lava.

#NSFFunded @udelaware.bsky.social researchers see a deep sea eruption in real time: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/s...

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

Science friends, I’ll be honest: We have no idea yet what any of this will mean. But I can tell you that I work alongside some of the best humans around and that we are fighters. www.science.org/content/arti...

Preparing to go to sea for 2 months and just learned that Starburst has discontinued their tropical flavors, my standard shipboard shareable snack. What am I supposed to eat? How am I supposed to motivate researchers?

IODP Expedition 402 sets sail in the Mediterranean Sea in just under 3 weeks! Sign up to Zoom with the ship, get a tour, and hear live updates from scientists.

www.nytimes.com/2023/09/23/u... --> very timely article on saltwater intrusion in the Mississippi. Headed there next week to look at how the salinity impacts metal and nutrient cycling in this important, dynamic ecosystem. Rah rah RV Pelican!

Feeling sluggish? Kick your Monday off with a live scorpion in your shower at 5:30am while you're shampooing your hair, the adrenaline perks you up.

Awww! Moxie had the same lil hat for her birthday this year too... 😆

My first twitter post was made during a CDEBI mtg... fitting that I make my bluesky debut during COBRA's Ocean Governance workshop, talking about Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction. Excited to think about this intersection of sci+policy and building intl collaborations.
