WHALEFALL! The Nautilus team just discovered a whale skeleton on the seafloor covered in bone-eating worms, cusk eels, and octopus devouring this massive deep sea meal. Watch

Yesterday I went on a cute date and we got sandwiches to eat on the beach. Then he told me he was a Trump supporter and I put my sandwich in my bag and biked away... sorry not sorry!

Love this so much. Definitely agree. Ken is just another accessory and it's not his pink convertible, or his dream house, it's Barbie's

Because it's not true. She hasn't championed the green new deal (yet) but she has never denied climate change and has a long track record of working to combat it.

Dolphins swim while they sleep by turning off half of their brain at a time. They also only close only one eye when they sleep; the eye opposite the sleeping side of their brain. This is called unihemispheric sleep.
UCSC grad students are striking because our school doesnโt pay us enough to live here. Striking grads are being threatened by UCSC with jail time, deportation, and now firing... but the strike continues!

me: I am more than my PhD
date: what are your hobbies?
me: anything that gets me in the ocean
date: what do you study?
me: ocean stuff
date: What do you do for work?
Me: ...more ocean stuff...oh jeez
Last night I was sexually harassed at a scientific conference. He joked about putting a roofie in my drink and kept trying to reach across the table at me. He then hit on me, and tried to give me his room card
My mom saw this and called me to ask if I was OK and I was like YES! I apply to a lot of stuff and I don't win everything - nobody does. We need to normalize talking about rejection in science

"Thank you so much for your application to the Graduate Dean's Travel Grant. We are pleased to be able to award you $50.00 to support your Research related travel. Congratulations!"
$50? Is this a joke?
Just submitted my first first-author paper! Iโm cautiously optimistic but if it doesnโt get accepted thatโs OK because I did the work and it will find another home eventually - itโs important stuff!

It seems contradictory, but by social distancing, we are actually trying to slow down the pandemic and make it last longer. The longer this lasts, the less overwhelmed our hospitals will be, and the more people will survive
I'm a social scientist here to say that I'm

! I didn't come out until after undergrad and hiding was hard. Even now, tweeting that I'm queer takes courage, but it's worth it because bi erasure is real and love is love ๐
This lil grad student went to the market, got in through the back door where they keep the food destined for the dumpster, filled 4 boxes full of stuff, and distributed it amongst the free food pantries around town
I was wearing a chunky grey sweater and jeans and was three blocks away from my house (he didn't see where I lived). I usually bike, but my bike had a flat. So all of this, just because I'm a woman living in this patriarchal society where I can't walk home alone at night
A man in a car stalked me home last night. Saw me walking alone, did a slow u-turn, and followed me for two blocks while yelling at me. No one else was on the street. I was ready to start running if I heard his car door open and the worst part about it is that
Police barricaded surrounding streets so that no one will drive past the the grad student protest. A young woman drove past the barricade to deliver water and was arrested. This is the third arrest or citation of students sanctioned by UCSC admin

I hate when a recipe says: Sautee the onions for 5 minutes

I did a radical thing today - I was VERY active in a virtual conference session. I had questions for every presenter and wrote "Awesome presentation!" in the chatbox after every talk. And it felt weird because...
Yesterday in the field a fisherman asked me what I do, and when I told him he said that he wished I had come last year to interview some older fishers that arenโt around anymore... 1/

They get it. They ask what took me so long. And they tell me their stories.
Marine social science is a crucial piece of the ocean conservation puzzle. We have to listen to the fishers before we lose our chance and their knowledge is lost forever 4/4

Ok twitter fam, weโre evacuating. My house will probably be safe from the wildfire, but the air quality is gnarly bad. Thanks to all of you for sending good vibes! This has been my first wildfire experience and I am spooked
I shut him down multiple times and made it very clear that he was making me feel unsafe. I was direct and mean. I told his colleague what was happening and he intervened. None of it dissuaded his advances
I know I should but... I donโt like or engage in twitter drama. Sorry Iโm so boring!!! Thanks for following even though this account is just positive vibes, grad school tings, and sea creatures

I actually went back to watch some recordings of a class I attended and there I was, center screen, tank top, eating a sandwich, and squinting into the sun
me: tomorrow I'll take my Qualifying Exam and when your friends ask if I'm still a PhD Student you can tell them that I'm a PhD *Candidate*
mom: do you think anyone knows what that means?
me: MY TWITTER FRIENDS DO!!!

YES! AND our lack of knowledge about LOTR or TMNT or whatever are because they lacked femme representation! It was never about stories being girly; it was about stories having girls in them!
To be completely honest, waking up everyday and staring at parrotfishes has been an immense blessing. Here is Scarus quoyi a beautiful fish on the inside and outside. These fishes use their strong beaks to eat coral and poop out fine white sand
