@emilykellyocean @ayanaeliza @DrKWilkinson @Keplers @oceansolutions @drticklejar @CClosek @nickikravec Wait, I just got my copy too! Can we make this an alumni included book club? :)

This thread is everything that is wrong with tech interventions in the ocean. The knee jerk reaction to mindlessly defend "genius solutions" instead of legitimately engaging with scientists to solve problems is just depressing. Thank you @RebeccaRHelm for trying nonetheless.

This tweet claiming The Ocean Cleanup will generate a “blood bath” is making the rounds.

It is also based on fiction, not science.

A thread.

Eco-friendly concrete to the rescue, saving us from having to ask the big questions like should we be armoring coasts in the first place? https://t.co/V9mzqY0lSY

If you've ever thought women or people of color in shark science were overreacting to how #SharkWeek presents us, I've tried to explain why it matters to me. I'm here to talk about it, if you want.

Was just looking back and I think it's safe to say that my PhD lab's website is the best lab website of all time. @StacyAguilera and @eco_andrew are geniuses. https://t.co/xMfXA8NKEh

I wrote a LTE @NewYorker in response to this article that angered me so much. The letter did not get published. Here it is.

Dear Editor,

As I was reading Ben Taub’s piece about a millionaire’s deep-sea journey, I felt a familiar swell of rage building (1/7)

Really like this idea of good enough data, but lots of work needed to figure out how we can best use coarse environmental data and shift mindsets around quality.

[Shannon Dosemagen @sdosemagen]

Thoughts from @OpenEnviroData + @EKTyson on how we shift the data quality narrative towards one which acknowledges the value of “Good Enough Data” - where coarse environmental data of known quality is treated as a public good. https://t.co/MAoHMRhpnl

@kwing Haven’t delved too much into the details so don’t know how well it fits the bill, but some of my smart colleagues have been thinking about this the context of AI: https://t.co/F5297yCs8w

So sad to lose Jim McCarthy. A gentle, brilliant visionary, totally devoted to finding the truth & sharing it widely — with students & policy makers alike. Understood that credible information is the cornerstone of a vibrant democracy. Passionate about arctic, fly fishing& family
