WOW: The College Board erased everything from AP African American history course that Ron DeSantis objected to. This is how White supremacy thrives. The College Board should have held their ground but now they have sacrificed academic freedom to make white nationalists happy

Come work as a postdoc at Bigelow Lab. We're looking at the potential for farmed macroalgae to contribute to carbon storage in coastal sediments. Exciting multidisciplinary project with a fun group of colleagues: https://t.co/bNxKy2QwiL

The Augusta Armory is back in action this Tues (9-4), Thur (12-7), and Sat (9-4).

All vaccines, all ages. No appointment needed. @MEPublicHealth

Karenia mikimotoi from Boothbay Harbor

[Peter Countway @pdcountway]

We detected a bloom of the dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi in Boothbay Harbor last week and verified its identity by rapid DNA techniques. This is part of the Maine-eDNA project @BigelowLab @MaineEPSCoR #nsffunded #MaineeDNA #nsfepscor

[Peter Countway @pdcountway]

@Sci_Officer @BigelowLab @MaineEPSCoR We could definitely take a look for its DNA in filtered/frozen samples. We’ve detected it in relatively low abundance over the past couple of years here in East Boothbay.

[Peter Countway @pdcountway]

We measured very low levels of microcystin (~0.001 ng/mL) and will send the samples out for DNA sequencing next week.

It's unbelievable to hear my Senate Republican colleagues, most of whom are millionaires, complain that unemployed workers getting UI are making too much money.

$600 a week is one of the only lifelines keeping millions from going into poverty or losing their homes. #SaveThe600

A colleague at UMass-Amherst is looking for a postdoc to investigate iron-binding metabolites produced by bacterial symbionts found in the gills of marine mollusks known commonly as shipworms. #postdoc #marine #bacterial #metabolites

@DoodlebugKRY I enjoyed a comment by one of the Antarctic cruise ship passengers regarding the Ecostat “So essentially it’s a phytoplankton powered cloud factory”.

I'll support and work for any Democrat who wins the nomination, but I'm pulling for Elizabeth Warren. I'd love to see her open a large can of whup-ass on Trump in the debates.
