Horrifying images from this very special site. Large, old #corals like this are irreplaceable, & these 100s-of-years-old animals could be lost in just weeks. A tragedy is unfolding here.

Let us mourn, & let our grief catalyze even more aggressive action, advocacy, & activism.

@NianticHelp *impossible

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

@NianticHelp This response is a load of BS. The right answer is "we are working hard to resolve it and will offer an additional community day for everyone since our technical difficulties made it possible for many to participate."

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

@LykunGG @NianticHelp Exactly this.

Shout out to @sniffspot They used my friend's art, initially without permission. When she pointed it out, they paid her for her art! Respect to a company that fixed an error. Apparently they are like an AirBnB, finding private rental space for your dogs to play. Check them out!

@carr_toons @sniffspot @sniffspot thank you for doing the right thing! I'm off to learn more about you!

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

@carr_toons @sniffspot @sniffspot Art theft certainly won't get my business. Pay the artist or take it down.

@IndpndntHomTub The hinge you won't replace, making the door unusable and our tub a danger.

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

@IndpndntHomTub Your bio is a laugh. I've been trying to get door hinges for our bathtub door for 2 years. I've been hung up on at least 10 times when politely asking how to get a hinge. Someone in my house is going to get hurt using a step ladder to enter the tub.

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

At which point we'll sue for the negligence of your terrible company that won't even sell us replacement hinges. Meanwhile I've gotten 6 telemarketing calls just TODAY to buy a tub from you.

Vortexes are simple devices commonly used in labs to mix small vials of liquid. But have you ever tried vortexing your finger? This watercolor is a tribute to the vortex - a simple but indispensable lab device

Fish poop feeds coral reefs! 💩 🐟

We examine the quality of fish food and poop for 51 fish species & reveal that fishes don't retain a lot of nutrients from their food, making fish poop a nutritious snack for other critters.

@DrSeaBove Awful. My go-to questions that I ask every student after their presentation are: "What have you learned about the process of science through your work? And what have you learned about yourself?"

This should be an environment for community & growth, not belittling & excluding.

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

Biden should do a White House address tonight. Speak to the direct climate impacts millions are experiencing. Highlight what the Admin has done and then declare a #ClimateEmergency and pledge to take on the Big Oil companies fueling this crisis. Show some leadership.

[Dr. Liz Leininger @ec_leininger]

I lived in NYC for 9 years never saw the sky look like this. The planet is sick, we need to act #ActOnClimate

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

Can confirm the awesomeness as a human!

[Dr. Laura Eierman @eiermanle]

Truth.

[Meghan Holst @MegHolst]

Them: "You're a marine biologist?"

Me: "Correct"!

Them: "I always wanted to be a marine biologist! But then I learned they don't make any money."

Me: ".....also correct" 😑

Marine biologists everywhere, how often is this how people greet you? 😂 I'd say a solid 30% at least

The AAMC predicts a physician shortage of up to 124,000 by 2034. Hard to prepare future MDs without organic chemistry classes. The @NewCollegeofFL Board is at best ignorant and at worst actively destroying the college, harming current students in the process.

[Dr. Liz Leininger @ec_leininger]

What college board of trustees decides to fire *everyone at the school who teaches organic chemistry*? Those profs with grants who hire students to do research with them? The @NewCollegeofFL Board of Trustees, that’s who. Good luck, premeds, bio majors, and all.
