This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year
And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dormâs janitor
And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with âthe help.â10,236 2,708Jun 5, 2025 -

If weâre renaming bodies of water based on petty grievances, I propose that this be renamed the Kendrick Lamar passage.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend.
This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.6,469 2,069Feb 18, 2025 -

âWithout widespread theft, my industry canât surviveâ is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs.
It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! đ§Șđ3,305 1,424Mar 3, 2025 -

Marco Rubio was my senator. He and his staff politely listened to me, and their support was vital in getting hammerhead sharks protected in Florida waters.
I was cautiously optimistic that he might maybe be a voice of reason.
Yesterday shattered that.12,397 1,348Mar 1, 2025 -

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!
We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.
Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! đ§ȘđđŠ

In honor of Mr. Rogersâ birthday, hereâs your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children.
Weâre adults now. Weâre supposed to *be* the helpers.3,222 1,124Mar 20, 2026 -

The new White House has already deleted dozens of environmental justice websites and reports. Worry not, theyâre all backed up on various independent university websites. eelp.law.harvard.edu/tracker-type...

I donât use social media to argue about politics with strangers.
I use social media to talk to people about fish.
When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.
When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because weâre Jewish.4,522 706Dec 15, 2025 -

Yes, this is the lab that hosts âdrag and tag,â shark tagging research with drag queens that raises money for Florida LGBTQ youth.
We could sure use your support, and you get an amazing adventure out of it!

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether youâre asked âwhy are we funding thisâ from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator.

I saw someone post, apparently seriously, âwe donât need NOAA, we can just ask ChatGPT to predict where and when hurricanes will hit.â
I donât think we should sentence thousands of people to death because some overconfident buffoons donât understand how science works.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor:
âLook for the helpersâ was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. Weâre grown ups now. Weâre supposed to be the helpers.1,583 440Jul 3, 2024 -

My field is more than 60% women.
Shark Week, marine biology's biggest stage, doesn't just feature more men than women... it features more guys named Mike than women.
And that's ignoring the pseudoscientific nonsense, wildlife harassment, and near complete lack of any real conservation content
