Having fun @anthropyuk.bsky.social in the @edenproject.bsky.social with the amazing @johandelsman.bsky.social The Edge, and Sir Tim Smit - promoting work through the @ucsandiego.bsky.social Soil Health Center (soilhealthcenter.ucsd.edu), OathBiome and @amiposts.bsky.social #saveoursoils

Honored to receive the Live Long and Prosper Award from the Nimoy-Knight Foundation. I grew up inspired by Spock’s logic and Kirk’s boldness, two sides of the scientist’s mindset. 🖖 Live long and prosper. #RememberingLeonardNimoy #NimoyKnightFoundation #LLAPAward #LLAPTribute

Despite being Deputy Director for Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Associate Vice Chancellor for Marine Science at UC San Diego I rarely get a chance to interact with the ocean. Thank you to Kara Wiggin for taking time to teach me about rocky tidal ecology!
