The show must go on! Student presentations for UNCW Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences OCN 350 (Advanced Oceanography) were interrupted by a fire alarm. Evacuated to drizzling outdoor conditions. I asked the students what they wanted to do, and they opted to carry on, using an iPad for outdoor presentations!

There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms. Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

Yay, Elizabeth Farquhar! Congrats, and thanks for the opportunity to work together these last couple years! We'll miss you.

Did Voltaire’s ghost write this? The Onion? Nope! It’s real news in the world we made for ourselves. Cool. The Washington Post
