Why are universities investing in weapons manufacturing? Is a question we should all be asking.

ugh, I wish Shiny and Leaflet made it easier to banish web Mercator... We've got better projections! Let me use them!

this is so cool!!!

One thing about the call for divestment is that it forces us to confront just how naturalized the imperialist position is. It's considered a non-political issue for higher ed institutions to profit from war, genocide, and occupation. What's 'political' is asking them to stop.

I thought this was a frappe 🙈

Paper just out! RADReef: A global compilation of quality-controlled Holocene reef accretions led by Mike Hynes with potential to explore the roles of sea level, climate changes and human impacts on reef growth Looking forward to seeing how it is used

friends, what calendar apps do you use on an Android phone that can pull Outlook and Google? my memory is going down the drain if I don't see my iCal at the office.

Terrifying graph showing how warm the oceans have been this year, compared to what we’re used to (grey lines). No wonder we’re seeing corals overheating, bleaching and dying right around the planet, from the Caribbean to the Maldives to Australia. #ClimateCrisis

Michael Baym Will Ratcliff BioRender Richard Sever I have explicit confirmation from Biorender that CC BY was not okay without explicit written permission obtained by writing to a specific non public email address. As of November 2023 no CC BY at all possible anymore.

Although Kānaka Maoli have consistently & unambiguously voiced opposition to building TMT at Mauna Kea—a sacred mountain to the Indigenous people of Hawaiʻi—we all must continue to voice opposition. Tell the U.S. National Science Foundation board that it SHOULD NOT fund TMTHawaii!

Mononoke said this Sunday is for forest bathing

Excited to share that my Masters project is out today in Molecular Ecology ( #OpenAccess ) as my first first-author publication w/ an incredible team!

We show that #whale blow can be a reliable source of DNA for #conservation genetics 🐳

Short summary👇 (1/4)

Let’s pay tribute to those who carry out detailed & difficult ecological field studies (often not published by the ‘top’ journals)

Which are vital to those carrying out meta-analyses (often are published by these same journals)

guys, I can't even read my own papers in one go.

The lab is growing again! #Postdoc position with my lovely supervisor Maria Dornelas on coral species' needs, life histories, and functioning. Deadline's on 29 April.

This is devastating... any advice on how to cry in a mask?

The same reef from a drone shot in 2023 and just a few days ago (2024) - the bleaching on the northern GBR is next level. The world is on fire (even under the water). Photos from Mar Inn

The build up of heat exposure (Degree Heating Days) on the #GreatBarrierReef this summer has been extraordinarily brutal.

Compare late February with yesterday:

This is more widespread than any previous mass coral bleaching and mortality event.

Tracking the fate of bleached corals: we have a LOT of georeferenced orthomosaics (above and below water) from the northern GBR that will be open source and freely available for analysis and follow up surveys. More information to come, DM for details in the interim 🪸

here are all my job materials (I do this periodically). everything from the cover letter to the job talk that got me a tenure-track job at William & Mary + some other materials.

yes, it’s a lottery. yes, it’s also helpful to see successful examples:
