1/ Great news ocean/climate twitter! There are so many ocean-related bills in Congress that have been included in a final legislative package that will be voted on this week! Getting them passed would be a huge win for the ocean and the planet!
A 🦈🌊 🧵of what's in the package:

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

“Impressive” high-resolution imaging of microglia in zebrafish reveals a role for the centrosome in efferocytosis during brain development. https://t.co/NUrLNwGvJE

👀a sneak peak of my #SETACPittsburgh talk! Come by the HABs session tomorrow afternoon to hear about domoic acid, microglia, and zebrafish!

[Jordan Pitt @JordanPitt18]

If you are interested in #nanoplastics check out my talk tomorrow morning 2.12.T-03 Differences in the uptake of nanoplastics between different exposure routes #SETACPittsburgh

[Alia Hidayat @algaeonthebrain]

I'm at #SETACPittsburgh with @JordanPitt18! Have loved meeting folks and hearing some super cool science. My favorite sessions so far: immunotox, fenceline communities, and cumulative risk!

[Dr. Irene Salinas Remiro @DrSalinasLab]

Very excited to share our latest review on brain immune responses to infection in teleost fish with @Amir_Mani90. Tons of useful info as well as our vision of what is missing and promising in the field #neuroimmunology #zebrafish #ComparativeImmunology

This is five+ years in the making and my first scientific journal article! Super happy to have this published (finally!) and for the opportunity to work with great collaborators

[Alia Hidayat @algaeonthebrain]

How does low-dose exposure to the seafood toxin domoic acid affect gene expression in the brain? Read on to find out! https://t.co/RIixdJXs7H

It's finally public - I'm headed to DC next year! Super excited to have this opportunity to bring my marine science background to policy making and hopefully tackle some important ocean issues!

This year everyone's attention has been focused on Congress passing major climate legislation. But at the same time, state legislatures and Governors have quietly passed new climate and clean energy efforts across the country. Long thread of the wins you may have missed in 2022:

This weekend marks a holy trifecta for the Abrahmic faiths.

Happy Ramadan, Happy Easter, and Happy Passover.

May we all work together for a world based in peace and renewal. ❤️❤️❤️

Unfortunately due to my status in a joint program with WHOI, I cannot vote in today's @MITGradUnion vote. Sending support and solidarity to my fellow grads voting for change @MIT! I wish I could participate and vote YES!! #YesMITGSU

I've said it a million times, I'll say it again, zebrafish are the coolest ✨

"most of the newly announced money... will go not to R&D or research grants, but to actually building factories... This reflects a view that technological progress emerges not from basic research alone, but from scientists, engineers, and workers solving problems together."
