A screenshot of a post by the Jane Goodall Institute on LinkedIn stating that they learned that Dr. Goodall passed away due to natural causes in California while on her speaking to her current speaking tour there.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

It’s my first (official) day of grad school!

First day of 17th grade, but who’s counting? ;)

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

my sweet, feisty snowball passed over the rainbow bridge today. snowy was a lover of bags and boxes and naps, and being exceptionally loud and catty. he has a huge personality, and was never afraid to show it. love you forever, snowy

sleeping spot for the night for field camp!!!

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Go Bills!!!

Loving the bikeable city I now live in, the library just down the road, and the thrift shop where everything is like $2.

Not loving that I didn’t even make it a week here and my bike was stolen (lock and all).

Oregon Coast has my whole heart already. The beaches and rocks (basalt) are fantastic, but it’s the wildlife that takes the cake. In 24 hours I’ve seen whales, sea lions, harbor seals, and SEA OTTERS (only my all time favorite animal). Newport has been good to me!

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Oregon is just another world (how do I live here now!!) and I LOVED exploring Newberry Volcano (new landform unlocked!). Also I saw raw obsidian for the first time?!?

Road trip to Oregon backlog!

1. Cathedral Towers
2. Balanced Rock
3. Pine Tree Arch

Exploring the American southwest while en route to Oregon has been some of the best exploring I have ever done! Canyonlands is my new favorite place on Earth and Newspaper Rock had me all in my sentimental feels.

Also, U-Haul should totally sponsor me ;)

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

Bluesky now platform of choice for science community It’s not just you. Survey says: “Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky”…

Bluesky now the platform of choice for scientists and other non-fascists.

It was a quick trip to see my cousin, but lovely nonetheless! Spending all weekend enjoying a kettle lake + bog with family was delightful.

A calm lake takes up most of the photo, reflecting the blue sky dotted with white clouds. A brown sand beach lines the edge of the water, a brown dog sniffing at it, edged with green grass. Tall green trees dominate the far shoreline.

hello michigan!

Proud to be represented by Erin Zwiener today!

This is a naked power grab using the tragedy in the Hill Country as cover. Gerrymandering will not save our neighbors and families when the next flood comes.

Reminder that the Tsunami Warning Centers are part of the National Weather Service. It would be nice to have them fully funded.

“Friends please be aware, a Tsunami is a series of waves carrying a large extra mass of water to our coast. This will NOT be a single wave. Do NOT try to go to the coast to take photos. You're not just putting yourself at risk, you will also put the people that have to rescue you at risk.”

An important reminder from the US National Weather service regarding the US west coast tsunami advisories following today’s M8.8 Kamchatka quake:

Screencap of USGS earthquake search results, showing a map and the following earthquakes: 2025 8.8 Kamchatka 2012 8.6 Sumatra 2011 9.1 Japan 2010 8.8 Chile 2005 8.6 Indonesia 2004 9.1 Sumatra 1965 8.7 Aleutians 1964 9.2 Alaska 1963 8.5 Kamchatka 1960 9.5 Chile

How common are earthquakes this big? Here are all of the events with a magnitude of 8.5 or larger since 1960: only ten of them!
