Thank you to @TheAtlantic for republishing my article on milky seas — hands down the wildest thing I’ve ever witnessed.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

In 2010, @samkeckscott sailed into a milky sea, becoming one of the few living people known to have seen one. For @hakaimagazine, he explores one of the ocean's most mysterious phenomena: https://t.co/q1JDPbcLGN

@Sheridanblog One of the first things I thought when he came on the screen was oh man, that unhinged Kerr hater guy is gonna lose his mind about this. And it made me very happy.

@toughcitywriter @hakaimagazine @judeisabella Oh wow, this is really sad news. I’m so sorry, Adrienne. What a loss for us all.

[Sam Keck Scott @samkeckscott]

@hello__caitlin That was one of my first thoughts when I heard the news! The fact that he even announced he was taking today off. Too funny.

Very grateful to @Orion_Magazine for publishing this short essay in which I attempt to prove the word “marsh” is an onomatopoeia: https://t.co/r8w8pVw5uY

@WestMarinFeed I’m so sad to see this. The boathouse was one of the best places.

[Sam Keck Scott @samkeckscott]

@JohnVaillant So well-deserved. Best book I’ve read yet about the climate crisis.

[Sam Keck Scott @samkeckscott]

@MontePooleNBCS @adam_eads best thing ever

@JohnVaillant It’s so fun to imagine them underwater frantically recharging for every jump.

[Sam Keck Scott @samkeckscott]

@JohnVaillant That’s so kind of you, John. Thank you!

[Sam Keck Scott @samkeckscott]

Fire Weather is a must-read for anyone who, for better or worse, happens to be alive right now. @JohnVaillant is a writer hero of mine, and I’m grateful he chose this subject to apply his powers towards.
