I have done a bunch of kayaking in Alaska but have not done this. Have seen plenty of orcas but from a regular boat.
Not sure if I would feel super comfortable sitting in a kayak among an orcas pod.

"After a mother #orca carries her dead calf for 17 days, two filmmakers spring into action, joining #Indigenous leaders and scientists making a final attempt to save the last 74 Southern Resident orcas from extinction..."

"Coextinction takes audiences deep into the oceans and forests of the Pacific Northwest ..."

#alaska #introduction #Alaskan Just over here seeing if I can find other Alaskans during the mass migration. Checking things out - hoping to find other like minds to connect with. Interests: #photography, #knitting, #crochet, #quilting, #books, #gardening, #paranormal, #dogs, #hiking, all things Alaska. #Salmon and salmon trolling! Rock on!

Hello - #Introduction post - I'm an evolutionary biologist working on #cichlids #sexualselection #salmon #speciation and #genomics.

Great read from Sarah Trent at High Country News about how fast nature can bounce back when we stop abusing it and listen to the people who know it best. #salmon #rivers #indigenous #dams https://www.hcn.org/articles/north-fish-when-dams-come-down-fish-come-home

#introduction

I'm a #postdoc at #HelsinkiUni. I like thinking about #EvolutionaryGenomics and the #genotype-phenotype map of #AdaptiveTraits

My current work is mainly on #salmon and #lifehistories, for example, what is the molecular basis of variation in #puberty?

On my free time I'm an #adrenalinejunky

Big fan of #fishes

I was excited to come back to Mastodon, to reconnect with some old faces and newcomers. And tbh, still excited. My original acct eventually grew dark because it was Very White; all the PoC had left. Three guesses why.

I'm seeing a lot of new Black and Brown faces and I am thrilled to see it. And I am saddened that we're *still* dealing with white fragility. But I'm not surprised. It's like clockwork, really.

I am going to take up space with ya. Y'all tag me in when you need me. #BlackMastodon

An early digitization project at the #BritishGeologicalSurvey was the Hugh O'Neill collection. This is a typical photo: BGS photo number P539527 Stone Firms Limited (Bath and Portland) underground workings, Old Cleft Mine, Box. Working on Bath Stone near Corsham Wiltshire. Lifting blocks with eye bolt. #archives

This was my first sight of Eilean Donan castle on the way to the #isleofskye.

If it’s not stated already, I’ll just put this out into the mastodon sphere -
➡️ we should care about long COVID and do more to investigate it
➡️ I support masking. Like. A lot. And vaccinations.
➡️ best way to protect yourself is not get infected in the first place
➡️ good public health puts equity as the core mission
➡️ COVID is serious and still ongoing

Never really did an #introduction post, so here goes:

I'm an #ObGyn, with a subspecialty in complex #FamilyPlanning.

I'm on faculty at #BrownUniversity, where I research family planning #HealthPolicy and #MedicalEthics.

I'm also a #Quaker, and am proud to tell folks that for me, providing patient-centered #abortion, #birth, and #SexualHealth care is an act of #conscience.

It’s probably about time to post something and figure out how all of this works, huh? Hi, I’m coming over from #medtwitter where I did a lot of reading, learning, and retweeting, and I’m looking forward to the environment over here. Not a doctor, just an annoyingly well-informed patient and advocate with multiple multisystemic chronic conditions and a whole lot of time on her hands…when those hands can function 😉
Happy to be here, so glad #MedMastodon exists!

@nick

I think that we should respect using CW on Mastodon since it is the culture here. We can title them well so people know what the toot is about. Sometimes we may be a bit clueless when a toot needs a CW, but we can try.

#MedMastodon #TwitterMigration

@nick @AlyssaBurgart
Very true. I guess that we will learn as we go. I loved having #medtwitter and I hope that #MedMastodon will be enlightening and fun as well.

If you migrate over to #MedMastodon from #MedTwitter please don’t be shy and instead please announce your arrival. I want to see it boosted into my feed and celebrate you joinining the #Medodon!

Done nights every week for the past 4 weeks. Body clock totally confused, exercise & eating regime disintegrated. Finished now for another month #TeamNightShift #TeamAnaesthesia #MedTwitter #MedMastodon

@trishgreenhalgh #MedMastodon seems to be the best # to locate those who are making the exodus from #medtwitter I’m yet to search #scicomm ans #ScienceMastadon

Posted this yest to Twitter but really found this study compelling & thought I'd share to #MedMastodon:

🚨 Rational gun laws save lives. New study shows laws in a state likely prevent deaths in neighboring states. Reasonable licensing laws had a strong potential protective effect.

Guns are the top cause of death in US kids. We need rational gun laws. This study shows we're all in this together.

#introduction #GP #MedMastodon I’m a GP amongst other things. Work in the NHS. I’m very tired.
