Researchers often collect otoliths because you can gain heaps of information, like the fish’s age. Otoliths produce rings, similar to the growth rings you find on tree stumps. Chemical analyses can also give information about diet, water composition, and more info about their life history. 🧪🦑

20 pairs of otoliths rest on a makeshift cardboard tray to be collected for scientific research. These otoliths specifically come from hake.

People aren't "celebrating" his death. They are noting his company did this MILLIONS of times over, killing many loved ones, in the pursuit of corporate riches. If you cannot comprehend this, then perhaps you need to get out of the journalism business, because you do not understand your subject.

It's not really cheers, just that people are obviously at a breaking point over health care in this country. Look at the uniformity of the sentiment, it was not personal to him but what he represents.

this is an open letter to publishers from @authorsabb.bsky.social. it should give you an idea of what authors are currently up against in the united states, especially those who are making books that contain marginalized characters (even and especially if those "characters" are ourselves).

An Open Letter to Our Publishers from Authors Against Book Bans
With the election of the Trump administration and its policies as embodied in Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with consequences including, "imprison[ment)," and being "classed as registered offenders" (Pg 4, Project 2025). For authors who are not citizens, this could also result in deportation. This promises to be a pro-censorship, pro-book-banning administration, and the successful implementation of its policies will require willing compliance of America's institutions, including its corporations. The freedom to write is as important as the freedom to read. We have been heartened by many publishers' willingness to engage in legal and legislative pathways to fight book banning, and want to be sure that you will double-down on your fight during this consequential time. This past week, AABB held open forums with authors from all genres and age levels to better understand author concerns and needs. While this may not be a complete list due to the rapid turnaround, we know we have a short time before January to prepare for what is to come, and we want to start this conversation sooner rather than later

As authors, we need you to:
Continue to acquire and promote books by LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC voices. We a concerned that these voices under particular attack will be silenced or discouraged, directly and/or indirectly. . Be unequivocal in your support of LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors. We need to know that no author will be asked to "tone down" or erase elements in their books to please potential censors or to avoid being targeted by unjust laws in certain states. Authors need to know that we can continue to speak our truths in our works and remarks. . Guarantee the safety and confidentiality of all personal information that exists in your portals, or that has been shared for book promotion. We need publishers refuse to provide lists of: Authors or staff they know to be immigrants, Muslims, individuals with backgrounds from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Gaza et al (targeted under Trump's promise to expand the "Muslim ban") - All books by queer or trans authors, or that include queer or trans characters or content Authors and their citizenship, birthplace, and/or other personal information Books that reference diversity, equity, inclusion, sexual orientation, gender identity, racism, privilege, or "critical race theory" etc as defined or listed on page 4 of Project 2025

Refuse to provide "ratings" of books that goes beyond the current industry standard categorization of books by age group. . Resist requests for authors to sign contractual language for appearances that impinges upon our free speech in ways including but not limited to: written or spoken language, personal expenditures, personal advocacy. Provide security in states or locations . where an author may be under threat or has received threats. If an author is arrested for discussing their book in a public space, we need you to promise to provide legal aid. We need clear industry standards regarding author security and direct contact information for security and legal needs. . Stand against the blanket weaponization of "pornography," "obscenity," "triggering," and "inappropriate" as they have been used in widespread book bans to target anything with queer content, sex, or references to racism, bigotry, misogyny, abortion, etc. Project 2025 states that people who produce or distribute anything deemed "pornographic" should be jailed, though it does not define pornographic, nor does it seem to adhere to the SCOTUS standard of pornography

Ensure the freedom of every author to use the terms targeted on pages 4-5 of Project 2025 (which include but are not limited to: sexual orientation and gender identity, diversity, equity, and inclusion, gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, etc) freely in their works. We need to know you will continue to send LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC authors to schools, libraries, and festivals funded in whole or in part by federal grants. . Provide training on author safety and emergency contacts for situations when an author feels unsafe. . Be more aggressive and more public in fighting book bans and censorship at local, state, and the national level. We approach all these needs with the assumption of your support, and we will be vigilant to make sure that any divergence on these crucial points will be noted and protested. It's imperative that publishers, like authors, do not obey in advance. We must be aligned against policies that promote censorship, book bans, and the criminalization of storytelling. We look forward to working together with you and with all the other organizations fighting for our fundamental freedoms to read and to write. Sincerely, Authors Against Book Bans

Experts have told women for a long time that certain medical conditions and habits, including poor diet, lack of exercise and smoking, make osteoporosis more likely. Now research has added another risk factor to the list: pollution.
