WHALEY BIG FIND! We're still documenting the baleen whale skeleton we discovered with @MBNMS at Davidson Seamount off central CA's coast. Scavenging fish and octopus strip blubber while bone-eating Osedax worms dissolve bones onsite.

Thank you @NSF! Duygu (@biyolokum), Elaine (@capitELa4), and I were recently awarded an NSF-EDGE to develop functional approaches for studying annelid regeneration. Can't wait to move this project forward! More at wormsontheedge.weebly.com and

Took the train for a DC-Florida work trip last week - convenient, pleasant, less expensive and lower CO2 emission than flying, and energy efficient!
CO2 for my trip - car: 0.55 tonnes / plane: 0.27 tonnes / train: 0.03 tonnes

How you move matters!
per capita CO2 emissions in the US are among the highest in the world - more than 3X the world average
and
transportation has become the largest source of CO2 emissions in the US

Share of global plastic input *from rivers* to the ocean:
Asia: 86%
Africa: 8%
S. America: 5%
Central & N. America: 1%
Europe: 0.3%
Australasia: 0.02%
Most don't get excited about waste management, but it's critical to addressing global plastic pollution

A graph worth pondering. Energy-related CO2 emissions in the US have been declining - but increased sharply in 2018. More at rhg.com/research/preliminary… via @rhodium_group and wapo.st/2Fd4FM3?tid=ss_tw&ut….
