I had the privilege of hear Dr. Jackson speak at AAAS last month. A truly inspiring example of what it means to create a culture where science and faith are equally welcomed identifies.

Rachel Carson: the role model who first showed me you could be a scientist, a writer, AND a woman all at once! #IB599

[Jane Lubchenco @JaneLubchenco]

A gifted scientist-writer & a courageous champion for the truth, Rachel Carson is an inspiration

Encouraging progress, but we still have far to go...

Oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of rising CO2 levels. But #LifeBelowWater is paying the price for #ClimateChange. This #WorldWildlifeDay, on 3 March, join the @UN take #ClimateAction >> https://t.co/cvTtiDAtes #WWD2019

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

Everyday I'm shufflin' 🎶

For the coconut octopus, home is always just an arms reach away. These guys extend their arms around shells and “stilt walk”, and when threatened, the coconut octopus creates a dome-like shelter with the shell halves.

Climate change intersecting with social justice is apparent everywhere we look. We need more coverage of this issue, especially in the U.S. This would be a good reason to break the 24-hour sensationalism on @CNN, @MSNBC, and @NBCNews . Not even worth mentioning @FoxNews #IB599

Take a deep breath and watch this calming, uniquely beautiful spotted eagle ray.

Just like the name implies, the spotted eagle ray is covered in spots and other markings. It is unmistakable with any other species throughout its range.
