Hi everyone, In my yearlong program Life Skills For Young Scientists, we learn essential skills for a happy and productive career that grad school doesn't cover, starting with mindfulness and self-compassion. Registration for the fourth iteration is now open, details at lisys.ing. Please share!

The #AMOC is in news these days. It is a good time to reflect on the hard work that many groups conduct in order to obtain observational estimates of the strength of the #AMOC. The #RAPID and @o-snap.org (#OSNAP) teams organized a workshop in 2025 to review our technical approaches ...

A nice coverage by @cnn.com of our article published last week in Science Advances on the weakening on the AMOC www.cnn.com/2026/04/16/c...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents is weakening and closer to collapse than thought, new studies find | CNN
New research provides alarming evidence this ocean circulation is slowing and could be heading toward a shutdown, which would have catastrophic impacts on the planet’s weather and climate.

Is the #AMOC currently weakening? A thread. Yes, if you fit a straight line through the time series of AMOC strength derived from the #RAPID array at 26°N, it does, at a rate approaching 1 Sv per decade over the last 20 years.
