Amidst the challenges facing our coral reefs, hope still exists. Corals have persisted for more than 500 million years and continue to do so. A thriving Diploria labyrinthiformis found amongst a reef of stressed corals from the recent bleaching event.

I had no idea how critical it is to understand where and how dust is moving, affecting the climate and people's health. Don't miss it! https://t.co/zG2ox8EPgw

New #Wavelengths episode out now! Chasing tiny particles of dust in the name of science. #ClimateChange #SaltonSea @AmatoEvan_

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

Tiny dust particles have major impacts on the environment & our health. In this episode of Wavelengths, we're journeying to the Salton Sea where Scripps Oceanography climate scientist Amato Evan researches dust storms and how dust impacts our climate.

We get really into it this episode.

How is it that you still have to do dishes even when everything is on fire? You'd think when things get bad enough that your kitchen items would come to life and wash themselves

[UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy @GPS_UCSD]

🌊 🔬 Meet @Scripps_Ocean PhD and GPS Fellow @taylorsherisse! She's chatting with alum @seakaterun about how #ocean physics affects our #climate & weather — from rain to monsoons. #Wavelengths

Watch now: https://t.co/m2ze92xx68

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

#Wavelengths returns with Scripps PhD student Taylor McKie (@taylorsherisse)! She discusses her research on how the physics happening below the ocean’s surface informs climate & weather patterns such as rain, drought, & more with alumna @TinyBeaker.⬇️

🐟 Did you know that bluefin tuna are warm-bodied? 🐟

They have a rete mirabile system, which works like a heat pump, and allows them to travel long distances at breakneck speeds.

[Jenny Jarvie @JennyJarvie]

Oceans are warming and corals are dying. But I came away from my first ocean reporting trip awed by the extraordinary human efforts to save these fragile marine creatures.

Please read. It's a hopeful story about humans & climate change.

[Tiny Beaker Media @TinyBeaker]

In an interview today a coral scientist was showing me his lab and said "and here we have a bunch of tiny beakers.. " and then he gave me this little grin :D and I almost guffawed into the mic

[Kate Furby, PhD @seakaterun]

@erikvance Diarrhea. And unfortunately I need to spell it more than I'd like

[Kate Furby, PhD @seakaterun]

#Corals aren't the only ones melting in the Florida heat. More on that as soon as I stop sweating... 🥵

[Ed Yong is not here @edyong209]

And I want to double down on my journalistic values: not only describing what is happening but helping people actually make sense of it; bearing witness to suffering; speaking truth to power; revealing wonder in the obscure; and pushing for a more just and equitable world. 6/
