Humpback whales working together to corral fish in a spiral net of bubbles, using vocal signals to coordinate. This amazing behavior is learned, not instinctual; not all humpback pods know how to bubble net feed.

Around Antarctica, a vast current acts as the world’s climate engine. New science is revealing the power it holds over the future, and researchers are alarmed at what they’re learning as ice shelves retreat.

Fantastic news! The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts are special places where ocean life thrives. President Biden has restored their full protections as a Marine National Monument. From @MontereyAq and 29 colleagues across the US: Thank you, @POTUS! https://t.co/M3mQk3Ghqe

It's happened again — another oil spill harming wildlife and habitats on the California coast. We must mobilize and accelerate our shift away from fossil fuels to a clean-energy economy. California must continue to lead, as it has for decades: https://t.co/jGTBootQ01

Brilliant.

"An official Chernobyl logo will give the government and licensed tourist agencies a unified look—especially online and in social media—and will enable the creation of official souvenirs that counteract the more vulgar ones," writes @JulianHayda.

Imagine two Designer-Poets asking: "How can we use #design to engage in the profound nature of paradigm-shifting and the pragmatic work of problem-solving?" "Now or Never" keynote conversation @PuneDesignFest online: https://t.co/3ebxWQBBCt

[Sea Change Design @SeaChangeDesign]

Thrilled to be speaking at the @PuneDesignFest in India! @Uday_Dandavate and I will be giving a poetic #design provocation for the opening keynote. Imagine 2 Designer-Poets in conversation about the pragmatic and profound.

A powerful sea change in systemic design processes. Kudos to @Terry_Irwin and her colleagues @cmudesign for using Transition Design to research VUCA challenges like @COVID19.

[Cooper Hewitt @cooperhewitt]

Cooper Hewitt remembers Ralph Caplan, a writer, thinker, and 2010 National Design Award winner who encouraged designers to address real problems in daily life, including accessibility and sustainability.

How much #grief can we hold? Under anger there is pain. It's not enough, but sometimes #poetry helps: Grief Cry.

This tiny boxwood peapod (~4 inches) was carved in the 1500s. It opens to reveal little peas, and then those peas open to reveal little carved stories

I just published Grief Cry, a deep dive into global, personal, and poetic mourning—and healing. #Grief is the liminal space of #transformation. Hope this helps you heal.

A wise antidote to #COVID19: "Consider the abalone, a marine snail with blue blood that fights viruses." Unlocking pandemic-fighting secrets means respecting #science, protecting #biodiversity, and taking our place within #nature. Take note, humanity.
