Life lately. ❄️
It's crazy how long this has been going on...
I graduated from college eight years ago and have finally paid off ✨one✨ student loan. Only like a decade of painful payments left to go!
Wasn't that a mighty storm? 🥶

Oil spills in the ocean typically don’t reach beyond a few hundred miles. But when oil meets plastic debris, it can travel much, much farther.
Continuing this thread-- meet Lucas Medeiros! As a postdoc @whoi.edu and member of the @nes-lter.bsky.social team-- his work focuses on understanding and mathematically modeling disturbance events and their impact on planktonic ecosystems.

I’ve already destroyed my ankle for the day, but at least the vibes are here?? ⛷️
What looks like a peaceful marine snail inching across a soft coral is actually the result of an evolutionary battle.
In this ongoing “arms race,” soft corals evolved powerful toxins to ward off predators, but the flamingo tongue snail developed genes and proteins to neutralize those toxins.
✈️ #AtmosphericRiver tracking is going global! 🌍 Led by @cw3escripps.bsky.social & @noaa.gov, the AR Reconnaissance program is expanding worldwide, partnering w/ research teams across the globe to sharpen forecasts of extreme weather and better protect communities. @financialtimes.com shares more. ⬇️
That's me wiping out! This was my first time skiing, and the only direction I got from my friends was "pizza if you need to stop." It was six years ago, so I'm a lot less clumsy now. 😂
That's what friends are for!
Oil has places to go. Important places. Inconvenient places. Sometimes 5,000 miles away on a piece of plastic that shouldn't really be there. Scientists from @whoi.edu and @northeasternu.bsky.social traced it back the source and found out how it made its way to Florida’s Treasure Coast.
In your 20's, your friends will ask you to ski with them. It's important you say yes. ⛷️
Take a break from doomscrolling and enjoy some Mason. 🌊🐾
Hard news week. I keep coming back to the seal video

“Overall, the results of the meta-analysis on how people perceive climate-related risks indicate that our understanding is limited and flawed, which may delay necessary action.”
NASA says a crew member on the International Space Station is unwell. The agency canceled a planned spacewalk for Thursday and is taking the rare step of ending the Crew-11 mission early. n.pr/49cptjF
Weather is intense. ❄️
I'm not usually thrilled to receive out-of-office emails...but someone linked this livestream to fill the time until they return, and I love it. Enjoy! 🌊🐠
A new U.S. Postal Service rule for how your mail is handled could affect your ballot, taxes and more.
The rule, which went into effect on Christmas Eve, redefines the meaning of a postmark, the date mark printed on most mailed items.
