A dear friend who I've known for 20 years just read my book and responded with, "I knew you were doing art and research but I thought you were using established methods. I didn't realize you were creating the methods." I am so, so touched 🥹

"In the ocean, they are bulges of water that lift the sea level as they move along the coast. They’re common during El Niño events, but this year’s super El Niño could intensify the impacts, experts say."

Alarmingly, 83% of chemicals with available toxicity and exposure data are not regulated under any major international agreement.

"Administrators face severe pressure to bring in large donations, but universities cannot build the civic legitimacy needed to resist political attacks without confronting how corporate donors have shaped their priorities, eroded academic independence, and fueled public mistrust."

"We argue that donor-driven capture aimed at transforming university governance is a neglected part of this longer process. The target was the governance system itself rather than individual faculty or departments."

I don't know if they're dishwasherable but I love my Hydro Flask with a screw top. It has survived many tumbles and travels.

A coastal ecologist friend took these photographs of sea turtle tracks on Alder Creek Beach near Manchester (Mendocino County) back in April. El Niño is bringing some unusual wildlife with it to California!

'Pretty epic' Kelvin wave is latest threat to SoCal coastal cities. How soon, and how bad?

Coastal communities are beginning to assess the damage from waves and flooding as Southern California braces for more potentially destructive conditions from a coastally trapped Kelvin wave.

The manual process of typing up citations, referencing them, etc. is an important part of my research and writing processes (feminist research practice etc.) ☺️ I also am tired of constantly learning new software/versions of software & this is one of the few realms where I can opt out of doing that

I refuse to use citation managers *but* as a copyeditor myself (I do freelance copyediting), I am BEGGING people to *follow* whatever citation style they are using instead of just relying on the copyeditor to dig up and add necessary citation information!!

When I lived in Copenhagen I biked all over the city from one end to another, often anywhere between half an hour to an hour per ride, to go to libraries, concerts, museums, art shows, etc., all through the winter because the infrastructure there is *set up for it.*

Yes! Today I was on a hike and fully expected to... say hi to fellow people at the trailhead, at least? And no one would make eye contact; the people I did say hi to complimenting their dogs seemed alarmed that I spoke to them (?), etc. !

The Problem Class

Sometime last year, I was asked to participate in a closed door conversation in which a mix of academic researchers, journalists, and climate campaigners were asked to share their unvarnished thoughts...
