What a great idea for a #coralemoji ! The possibilities are endless 😍

[Haley Burleson @HMBurleson]

I’ve been playing with a graphics app today so here’s a coral emoji I made to practice with. *still waiting for a #CoralEmoji*

Incredibly successful spawning season this year! Great news for the critically endangered staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis. Now I just need a #coralemoji to celebrate!

[Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium @MoteMarineLab]

Last night we had 33 colonies spawn across 8 genotypes! Our team also performed 6 direct & reciprocal crosses. We have what we need for staghorn coral (spawning was highly successful)🙌

We're still monitoring the staghorn for continued spawning as we're raising their babies! 🍼

Huge news for coral restoration!

[Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium @MoteMarineLab]

It’s coral spawning season and we have MAJOR news!😲

For the first time, massive corals restored to Florida's Coral Reef are ready to become parents in the wild- a breakthrough in Mote’s scientific efforts to restore critically imperiled coral reefs!🙌

The richest 1% owe 70% of all unpaid taxes. With the money from these tax cheats, we could do all this:

👩🏽‍🎓Tuition-free college
👩‍👦‍👦End child hunger
🚰Clean water for all
🏡Build 500,000 affordable homes
😷Masks and PPE for all
📬Fully fund the Post Office https://t.co/vNNUeDLV14

I repeat: anything that is not voting for Biden is voting for Trump. This is not only about who will be President for the next 4 years. This is about the Supreme Court. If Trump appoints multiple new justices he can position @Scotus to screw us over for decades.

One of many reasons #STEM and marine science in particular are not as inclusive as they should be.

[Sarah Jenkins @sarahjenkinsxo]

Unpaid internships allow privileged students who don’t need the money to get ahead of those who need to to be paid in order to afford rent, food, and tuition.

It’s a constant cycle, that allows wealthier students to capitalize on an opportunity others simply can’t afford.

[Alexandra Fine @AlexInWaterland]

This is amazing.

Hey, white people:

Have your parents ever sat down with you and specifically talked to you, at length, about race? I'm not talking about cursory mentions or their cumulative comments, but had a serious, intentional discussion.

Also, retweet this.

I'm tryna see something.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Don’t let up, y’all.

So far, all they’ve done is give us a three day weekend and changed the syrup logo.

Police haven’t stopped killing us.

🚨NYC: If you plan on voting absentee, make sure you mail your ballot TODAY so it will be postmarked in time to count.

If you mail your ballot tomorrow, it may get postmarked too late and your vote may not count!

🗳(You can still vote in person instead if you got an absentee.)

Since they must sleep at the surface, sea otters often wrap themselves in giant kelp to keep from floating away. Sweet dreams!
