Postdoc researcher at UC Santa Cruz. I study sound in the ocean, and one day I hope to study whales as well :)

Writing this article on science communication in social media forced us to come up with arguments about why acousticians should use social media in the first place. I absolutely believe scientists should use social media, but I think we still need help figuring out how best to.

Social media is emerging as an effective tool for promoting published content, answering #acoustics questions, and conducting scientific outreach. Learn more in #AcousticsToday! https://t.co/Jnd1hvFXsk

How can echolocating toothed whales make 500 clicks/second with air at 1000 m depth where air volume is compressed to <1%? With the same nasal sound source how do they produce powerful high frequency clicks for echolocation & softer, low frequency calls for communication?

We are so excited to see you at the annual meeting of the @TWS_Western! Stop by our booth and meet our team member Ryan! We are bringing our technology to show you how it works and how you can track more efficiently using drones!

Very good work !!

#Antarctic sea ice area has set a new daily record low so far for all of January...

I think this is one of the coolest things to come out of NASA recently. We are putting trusses back under plane wings :)

[NASA @NASA]

We’re partnering with @Boeing to develop technologies for the next generation of single-aisle aircraft. We'll collaborate on a full-scale demonstrator by 2030 to help the U.S. achieve net-zero carbon emissions from aviation by 2050. Follow @NASAAero: https://t.co/dFikvL0YPa

@DanJonesOcean I am transitioning, and for me the blocker is C++. A useful skill I am sure but never could find a justification for using it.

[Edward L. Richards @seachirps]

@shrg_ngo Looks like a bunch of fun! Is there a gurmukhi version?

[NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory @NOAA_GLERL]

The upcoming winter storm is predicted to cause a massive #seiche in #LakeErie, with a water level difference of nearly 20 ft (6 m) between #Toledo & #Buffalo! A seiche is a large standing wave oscillating in a body of water. Follow this 🧵 for more! https://t.co/LCiuHAhnxv

Green card processing times are atrocious.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I'm one of the few members of Congress who has been on an H-1B visa back when processing times to transition to a green card weren’t nearly as bad—and it still took 17 years to become a citizen.

We must pass the Eagle Act for all those who have waited too long for a green card.

@iamericmai I saw a poor fellow on a street corner trying to fix something on an e-bike so he could make it home. It looked no fun at all. I would certainly invest in a tool kit, and have a contingency plan.

[Edward L. Richards @seachirps]

@B_D_Patchett Congrats!

[Edward L. Richards @seachirps]

@PattyPlankton @URIGSO Very cool, the work with RISD looks awesome.

@cutnoise Every road should have a continuous throughput of cars. The asphalt and space is wasted otherwise. Nothing worse than a cul-de-sac.

[Edward L. Richards @seachirps]

@achmorrison @iamekes Didn't realize you were an author on this article. The cover looks really cool and I can't wait to read it.

[SATURN Project @Saturn_H2020]

The European Commission (@EU_ENV) has just released the first ever EU-wide ‘limits' for underwater noise. These threshold values contribute to governance on where and for how long marine habitats can be exposed to underwater noise.

I like when my non-acoustic interests intersect with acoustics :)

[Canid Howl Project @CanidHowlProj]

Looks like we're off to the @WolvesBorders Conference next year! 🐺 We'll have a poster on acoustic monitoring, acoustic localisation, and automatic detection of canid howls that we can't wait to talk to everyone about 🎉 #bioacoustics #wolves @BethRSmith_

@Mcgregoc4Cheryl I had a good time with all your suggestions, thank you :)
