In 2023, researchers in a deep-sea submersible west of Australia came across several whale skeletons 2400 meters deeper than had ever been described. As the expedition continued, the scientists found an unprecedented abundance of skeletons—the biggest, deepest, and oldest collection ever seen on the sea floor.

RFKjr is one of the most dangerous persons in the US government. He will weaponize the merger of this Dept of Ed data with his own perversions of vaccine denialism and quack science to ruin both education, medicine, public trust. Mark My Words.

#Ocean "Supreme stupidity" is no exaggeration: Destroying the Ocean Observatories Initiative would be a momentous act of harm to US interests. Senators are now fighting back, and have written to the NSF to reverse course on its plan. In their letter, the senators cited the approaching El Niño – a periodic Pacific warming that disrupts weather patterns and supercharges marine heat waves – as evidence the cuts are particularly ill-timed. “The loss of this deep-water observation system would threaten our ability to prepare for and monitor future El Niño events,” they wrote, warning coastal communities, fishermen and emergency responders would be left without crucial information. “In a time of strained resources, the NSF is wasting time and money to destroy its own scientific infrastructure.” My team of marine scientists use data from the OOI regularly and it is complete nonsense to suggest that there is any other system in place which can match its capabilities.

Breaking News: The Trump administration took its most aggressive steps to dismantle the Education Department by breaking away key programs for disabled students and the enforcement of civil rights laws in schools. nyti.ms/4uQ7TK0

All of you satellite imagery nerds out there, @planet's media program is looking for a full-time research lead to join them. Really cool chance to work with a nice team and get some hands on amazing imagery! 🛰️ planet.com/company/careers/?…

Why do I have to pay taxes for losing a war? A vanity ballroom boondoggle? A pond scum reflecting pool of corruption? Pardons to actual criminals, robbing the NPS, and depriving this nation of science, and medicine?

Robotics basics straight from Stanford! 😮‍💨 This free from @Stanford University is a great starting point to kinematics, dynamics, control, motion planning, trajectory generation, and design. There is no better way to get into robotics than through a legend like Oussama Khatib from Stanford Robotics Center. Oussama Khatib is one of robotics' founding legends. He was reseaching human-centered robotics when the field was still obsessed with industrial cages and safety barriers. His work on haptic feedback and dynamic control made robots safe to work alongside humans. 16 lectures grounded in the actual mathematics robots need to move safely and work with people. That's what you can find inside: → Spatial transformations → Forward & inverse kinematics → Jacobians, velocity propagation, and singularities → Trajectory generation → Motion planning → Newton-Euler and Lagrangian methods → Manipulation, and compliance, → Applications in vision-based robotics and whole-body control Access it here for free and recommend to your robotics buddy: see.stanford.edu/Course/CS22… ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

Everything they make is beautiful

Fiscal responsibility

Fox is buying Roku. Ellison bought CBS and CNN. Bezos owns WaPo. ABC and NBC owners support Trump. We need to grow independent, pro-democracy media. Support Democracy Docket now. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Everything is corrupted

So, Trump is gonna give Iran $300 billion to open a strait that wasn’t closed, so long as they promise not build a nuke they didn’t have? Do I have that just about right?
