@alexisdahl.com is (finally) on @nebula.tv and it's about time!
If you don't know Alexis, think geology.
Think Engineering.
Think Michigan history.
Think about how worms are destroying our forests.
She makes Michigan proud and science accessible.

Deep in this Michigan copper mine, is a place only about 30 people have stepped in the last 100 years. A place still marked by the footprints of the miners who walked out more than a century ago.
Recently, I got to go down there. It was, honestly, incredible.

One of my favorite things about this video was that at least a couple of the researchers have known each other since they were 18.
But, y'know, the part about finding a perfectly buried forest from 11k+ years ago was also excellent.

๐๐ป Hi! Do you do interesting research in the Lower Peninsula? Do you run a cool place related to science or history in the state?
If so, I'm planning a Lower Peninsula road trip for early this summer, and I'd love to hear from you: www.alexisdahl.com/collabs

In West Michigan? You can help monitor native sucker fish through this opportunity shared by @miseagrant.bsky.social! All it takes is a pair of polarized sunglasses for spotting fish and ten minutes to walk the riverbank counting and recording fish.

Spring brings spawning fish into West Michigan streams, and you can help to monitor spawning runs in local creeks
Michigan Sea Grant is working with Shedd Aquarium, John Ball Zoo, and GVSU to learn more about migration cues for a little-known fish species, and you can be a part of it.
