The Emotional Whiplash of a Climate Scientist | Atmos Dr. Kate Marvel explores the grief, anger, wonder, and love she feels studying climate change in an excerpt from her new book, Human Nature.

"Aren’t researchers supposed to be perfectly objective, unemotional, and neutral about the world we study? I can’t be. I need to declare a conflict of interest regarding Earth:

Everyone I love lives here."

In her new book, @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explores what it means to be a climate scientist:

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have found deep-sea spiders that consume methane.

These three tiny species shift our understanding of how methane cycles through the ocean and show how little we know about the deep-sea ecosystems where the spiders live.

We cannot afford to keep waiting to protect our oceans.
