Nowhere close to coming to fruition. I think one of the biggest structural impediment is that most nations will not allow their funds to be used to support for national investigators. In other words, I cannot use US research dollars to support colleagues in Tonga or in Ghana. Vice versa is also true

Hi there

If I could magically bring one thing to fruition, it would be creating a genuinely collaborative international research fleet that could generate the much needed baseline data that would allow all nations to make informed decisions about their policies. Without that, we are flying blind.

Thank you for reaching out to me. It’s always a pleasure to talk about the amazing creatures of the deep!

Thanks to Hao Wang for telling me more about his team’s new paper and to Peter Girguis (@pgirguis.bsky.social) for providing some helpful context!

It was also great working with @michaelroston.bsky.social again

Assuming it still fits, which…well…

So I literally just found my favorite shirt, which I wore only for special occasions

What happened to your vintage 1980s phone skills, good sir?

They are a more elegant means of communication for a more civilized time.

I absolutely CHERISH those moments, Katy!

Listen up, younguns, the telephone was designed with a ringer that you can set to high or low. This was, wait for it, by design so you could decide if you wanted to hear an incoming call or not. I’m not sure of this “violation “ of which you speak. 😂

Well done.👍🏼

Thank you, Derek!

Thank you very much, Dr. Bik.

Humanity depends on the ocean — Here is what we need to prioritize for immediate ocean science research Global ocean research needs to shift priorities to ensure the health and well-being of our oceans, and by extension, humanity.

I'm pleased to share this article written by co-authors & me.

Riffing off our recent decadal survey, we discuss humanity's relationship with the ocean & why immediate action is needed to protect us all. Enjoy! @whoi.edu @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social

It’s nice enough, but the elementary school isn’t so hot.

Maybe I’ll have my boys home schooled in the jungle room.;-)

This is easily one of my FAVE paintings, especially when paired with Chagall's "Adam and Eve expelled from Paradise"

Many congrats to Dr. Jeff Gralnick @bacteriality.bsky.social on being awarded the Distinguished McKnight University Professorship! This is very much deserved Jeff.

Thanks for all the amazing things you do for microbiology and our community.

You are very welcome, dear colleague and friend.

How does the cold brew and 2 diet cokes belay a panic attack?

I make you a counter-proposal (as though I have any say in the matter): A green tea and two pieces of fruit.

:-)

I’m all for it!

Don’t get me wrong, I care about the health and wellbeing of all Americans but to pick on those who’ve worked for decades and have now retired is unacceptable.

It breaks my heart esp. with the rising costs of medications and healthcare.

Picking a fight with the elderly is beyond words.

Wait until Trump finds out that 27 states have indigenous tribes / other words as names.

Wait, what? This is an actual word (well, slang word)?
