I need this book! Bc what does the path potentially look like for someone who is 30, has an undergraduate degree in a completely different field, and is exploring hard pivoting into marine science? Are there one off courses I can take before committing to a program to make sure I want to go on?

I am working on the section of my marine biology career advice book about applying to graduate school. I have lots to say here from both my own experience and years of teaching this stuff, but I’d welcome your input on any or all of this if you’re willing.

Also for those looking for #novovax my CVS did have it available. However, it is not available via online scheduling! You need go/call to ask and you might have to double check. The pharma counter person said they didn’t have it but then the pharmacist who administers the vaccines said they did!
Now is a great time to get your Covid and flu boosters. My CVS even gave me a free bag of popcorn for getting my shots!!🍿😋 #maskup #covidconscious

Hello #Lorcana artists! I am a Lorcana TO based in Brooklyn NY and for our Halloween Lorcana event in October I want to do a silent auction to benefit Trans Lifeline, a charity that feels ever more important with each day. If you are a card artist who would be willing to donate a signed card, lmk!

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.
So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.
They opened the drawbridge to block them.
So they marched to a different bridge.

1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag."
This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags."
Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state.

I am seeing a lot of advice like "stock up on essentials" but surely the people who will be most financially impacted by tariffs and the subsequent price hikes are going to be the same people who cannot afford the upfront cost of "stocking up."
