WHALEY BIG FIND! We're still documenting the baleen whale skeleton we discovered with @MBNMS at Davidson Seamount off central CA's coast. Scavenging fish and octopus strip blubber while bone-eating Osedax worms dissolve bones onsite.

Thank you @NSF! Duygu (@biyolokum), Elaine (@capitELa4), and I were recently awarded an NSF-EDGE to develop functional approaches for studying annelid regeneration. Can't wait to move this project forward! More at https://t.co/rGVx1j45BR and

Took the train for a DC-Florida work trip last week - convenient, pleasant, less expensive and lower CO2 emission than flying, and energy efficient!

CO2 for my trip - car: 0.55 tonnes / plane: 0.27 tonnes / train: 0.03 tonnes

How you move matters!

per capita CO2 emissions in the US are among the highest in the world - more than 3X the world average

and

transportation has become the largest source of CO2 emissions in the US

Share of global plastic input *from rivers* to the ocean:

Asia: 86%
Africa: 8%
S. America: 5%
Central & N. America: 1%
Europe: 0.3%
Australasia: 0.02%

Most don't get excited about waste management, but it's critical to addressing global plastic pollution

A graph worth pondering. Energy-related CO2 emissions in the US have been declining - but increased sharply in 2018. More at https://t.co/QyV551c8BS via @rhodium_group and https://t.co/sdZHLoCXVr.
