Just when I thought that the last weeks were rather quiet in terms of bigger earthquakes, @judithgeology.bsky.social released a tool that lets you check for yourself. ⚒️🧪 #geology And yes, it's quieter than usual. And yes, that's completely normal. stats.earthquakeinsights.com/unusual/?spa...

Are there more earthquakes than usual this year?

Live USGS counts of M6+ earthquakes worldwide this year, set against every year since 1976.

Being a scientist working on a lot of projects at once is really fun until you get so sick you can't even read a text on a phone for two days and your email inbox becomes a disaster zone

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

RIGHTT????? Also completely wild because it was the first talk of a conference that had A LOT of talks about cultural ecosystem services. Such a bad look!

When I started working at USGS I had an academic crush on someone because he had a really long CV with over 10 publications Anyway now I have 20

it's just weird that we would have evolved to have regular meal times

It's weird because it seems like an argument against intermittent fasting which I thought was proven to be generally healthy (I'm not a breakfast person)

My friends at the The Natural History Society of Maryland have planned an amazing trip to Florida, including a shark research expedition with me, snorkeling, and visiting some cutting-edge marine biology labs. They’re opening the opportunity to to anyone! 🧪🌎🦑🐟🦈

Can you explain this to me like I'm 5? I'm at a conference and I've had too much science today. What's the takeaway here?

Apparently the term "emerald economy" is supposed to signify the combination of blue economy and green economy... because emerald "is a mix of blue and green" sir.. it is not

Yes! There is a running joke between marine scientists and scientists who study freshwater systems that freshwater systems/fish are boring. It's a fake beef that people like @solomonrdavid.bsky.social are crusading against

keynote speaker said cultural ecosystem services don't exist so I'm hiding until I can find some other social scientists to talk to

I've been a PhD for a hot second (1.5 years) and somehow it feels like a lifetime and that I haven't accomplished anything

Thinking we have time to address climate change, or that “Net Zero by 2050” will save us, is driving us toward full social collapse and it's becoming more obvious with every broken temperature record. The Gargantuan Lie That is Collapsing The World’s Climate🧪 www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-mas...
