A marine biologist told me once that a fish’s (for these purposes, we’ll consider a shark a fish) entire usual thought process is:

1. Swim around looking for something to eat.
2. Eat the thing.
3. Repeat.

Sullivan would later monitor these controls during Apollo 11 mission that put astronauts on the moon in 1969. Her job was to monitor astronauts' medical condition.

@Ciantic @jeffjarvis I've said this publicly before. The #Mastodon onboarding situation is a real problem, especially for nontechies without a lot of time to "research" all this. Frankly, I'd like to see a nonprofit create a quality onboarding and support structure, with some sort of membership fee involved to pay the bills. I realize this is controversial but I think it likely is necessary -- or else something else along these lines.

Is it OK to spend 12 months to get a visa to attend a 3-day conference?

My piece in Science (@sciencemagazine) sheds light on this issue many scholars from institutionally discriminated countries experience on a regular basis

Spoiler: 12 months, 900$, get rejected

A refugee from the other place. Interested in a variety of potentially boring things such as the hashtags below. Mostly would just like respectful discourse about nerdy stuff. Hate gets us nowhere.

Scientists discover the first evidence that #marine conservation helps to reduce #climate change.

Marine protected areas act as a safeguard for oceans, seas, and estuaries. A group of experts describes how marine protected areas support ecological and social adaptation to #climatechange and help in the sequestration of carbon in a study that was recently published in the journal One Earth.

Not one person has been accepted and evacuated from Afghanistan under Home Office Afghan citizens’ resettlement scheme, launched in January, with those promised resettlement facing torture and death while they wait for a response - investigation by May Bulman & Nicola Kelly https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/03/revealed-uk-has-failed-to-resettle-afghans-facing-torture-and-death-despite-promise

Meanwhile, the govt has the gall to continue claiming they offer safe routes as an alternative to dangerous irregular journeys
