🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨 WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people. 4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic. Get 'em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

Look I know most of you already know this, but the Executive order about so-called “gender ideology” is patently false as we understand biology. Science does not agree with what’s written there *at all*. It’s the sex/gender equivalent of saying “we evolved from monkeys”. It’s simply incorrect.

happy late birthday to my favourite squid scientist! @sarahmackattack.bsky.social sorry for the late drawing, I have never drawn a squid and it has been a... long week...

A roughly drawn squid. I believe this is a Hawaiian Bobtail Squid. It is covered in red, brown, and blue spots. It is very small and has tiny translucent fins that make it look something like an angel might look. The relevant text on the image reads "Jan. 21, 2025".

ICE-DAY! Cool layers & melt/refreeze features in ice cores extracted from Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica. We drilled thru ice to collect subglacial bedrock to determine the last time the bedrock was exposed to the sun using cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating. Also, a beautiful ice crystal! 🧪❄️

An ice core resting on a core tray with Dr. Brent Goehring working nearby and the sun just barely rising over the mountains in the background.

Incredible tear-drop melt-refreeze spirals within an ice core sample. I had never seen anything like this in a previous core from Alaska, Canada, Antarctica, or Greenland, but we were in an area that experiences some melt and refreeze unlike most of the ice core sites I've worked at. Really beautiful structures!

Elliot (who happens to be working with our UMaine and New Mexico Tech team currently at Mount Waesche in West Antarctica currently to again collect subglacial bedrock samples) holding the bottom of an ice core sample from Thwaites Glacier. You can see the core has a ton of sediment in it where it contacted the bedrock. This sediment suggests that there is significant freeze, thaw, grinding up of bedrock at the bed, and sediment getting entrained in the ice as the glacier ice slides along the bed. You can also see lots of ice layers in this core.

This ice crystal was a very "small" piece of a 2-3 meter chandelier of ice crystals hanging from the ceiling of a giant crevasse I rappelled into at Thwaites Glacier. My goal of rappelling into this crevasse was to see if it reached bedrock so I could collect a sample of it for cosmogenic nuclide dating. Instead of finding bedrock, I found these incredible ice crystals. You can see my hand for scale, so this chunk of angular ice crystals is probably about 25 cm or 10 inches in size.

When The Carter Center began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986, there were an estimated 3.5 million cases in at least 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Today, that number has been reduced by more than 99.99%. In 2024 so far there have been 7 cases. #legacy
