Deep-sea life in the Mediterranean doesn’t get a second chance.

We’re calling on @ec.europa.eu and the @fao.org to extend the #BottomTrawling ban to at least 800m and give these fragile ecosystems the protection they deserve. #DefendTheDeep

Is #SeastarSaturday a thing? 🌊⭐️ After losing so many of these important predators along the west coast of North America a decade ago, seeing their return to our rocky shores always makes me happy. 🤩 #MarineLife #Invertebrate 🦑

With the passing of Lou Conter at 102, the last living voice of the USS Arizona has drifted into silence. The final witness to that harrowing morning is gone, and with his departure, the ship and her fallen crew rest in an even deeper, eternal quiet.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
It's over.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.
