thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

I need this book! Bc what does the path potentially look like for someone who is 30, has an undergraduate degree in a completely different field, and is exploring hard pivoting into marine science? Are there one off courses I can take before committing to a program to make sure I want to go on?
Colleagues in ocean science academia: 🧪🦑🌎

I am working on the section of my marine biology career advice book about applying to graduate school. I have lots to say here from both my own experience and years of teaching this stuff, but I’d welcome your input on any or all of this if you’re willing.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
Also very real! I didn’t realize your flu shot wasn’t available either!! Ours usually becomes available in like August!
It so frustrating that it seems like governments everywhere are behind the curve. It feels like they are always releasing the updated vaccine while a surge is already actively happening! You are so right that the whole timeline should be bumped up! Like covid is not the flu, surges are year-round 😜
Also for those looking for #novovax my CVS did have it available. However, it is not available via online scheduling! You need go/call to ask and you might have to double check. The pharma counter person said they didn’t have it but then the pharmacist who administers the vaccines said they did!
Now is a great time to get your Covid and flu boosters. My CVS even gave me a free bag of popcorn for getting my shots!!🍿😋 #maskup #covidconscious
It really was!!! I was so delighted haha.
Oh no!! Is that a state issue (if you are in the US) with vaccine access or just a delay in shipping to where you live??

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Hello #Lorcana artists! I am a Lorcana TO based in Brooklyn NY and for our Halloween Lorcana event in October I want to do a silent auction to benefit Trans Lifeline, a charity that feels ever more important with each day. If you are a card artist who would be willing to donate a signed card, lmk!

First loaf of the season headed into the oven! #sourdough
1343! Once I filled my room I kind of slowed down because I didn't feel as motivated to use the app 🫣 but I do still use it when I feel I need it!
Context: I am doing some research for a YouTube video I want to do about cortisol. I’ve been seeing so much lately on social media about “lowering cortisol” in the context of everything from nighttime routines to weight loss. It feels like something I want to actually understand the science on.
Does anyone have any connections to scientists that might be open to being interviewed for a YouTube video about cortisol? Specifically those who specialize in brain science! 🧠 #neuroscience #psychology #scienceresearch

If you don’t know anyone feel free to boost!
lol have you told Christina you watched? And shared your opinions? I wanna see her response 😅

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow
