"The strength of WHOI's science is in its people."

It was true in the time of our first director, Henry Bigelow—and it's true today. We wouldn't be leaders in ocean science + engineering without our dedicated + talented staff.

Read this from @pdemenocal.bsky.social, @msleinen.bsky.social, and John Richardson, retired Navy admiral, whose son was my student, about how investing in ocean science is not just about curiosity, but about ensuring our future readiness, resilience, and national security. 🌊

The U.S. still has an advantage on the waves, but ocean science needs more — not less — investment.

The Senate just posted the report language of its FY26 science appropriations bill. This text lays out what they want done and carries the force of law if it is included in the final spending bill.

It's a line-by-line refutation of Trump's proposed budget for NASA and NOAA.

This resonates- & despite being a vegetarian, I have leaned into Beef more than Bear the last few years. Given *all the things* & the reality of supporting my family, I’m still figuring out the right balance, but preparing the next generation & passing the torch is centered for certain.

🧪 BREAKING (good news): Senate subcommittee says NO! to Trump's proposed slashes to NASA & NSF funding.

Today, the subcommittee said to keep NASA + NSF funding at $33.9 billion, the same as in FY24.

See 7:15 below. Full Senate appropriations committee meets tomorrow about it.

Great paper. Will share widely when I remind people why we need to pay attention to "diversity" across socioeconomic status as well. I'm still appalled that unpaid internships even exist... in any field.

It's not just #NIH. It's not just #NSF. It's not just #NASA.

The whole scientific community has to make clear that all science across fed agencies is being destroyed in the US.

We can't just ask for our particular piece of the pie. The whole pie is being thrown out - saving your bit won't work.
