In mourning this evening. My life and science were enriched by this sweet little soul. We shared a certain RBF and general attitude but both have/had molten centers

Merritt TuretskyPlease boost to help save the Arctic. We’ve learned a lot about permafrost (frozen ground) and its role in global climate over the past decade. Unfortunately there are some false narratives being driven by the media. Here are some facts driven by our best science. 1) Permafrost underlies 1/4 of N hemisphere land and >1/2 of Canada. This makes 🇨🇦 more of a permafrost nation than a hockey nation. Frozen ground is literally a backbone for ecosystems and infrastructure. 1/
Needhi Bhallalast boost (#LB?): LOVED Carolyn @bertozzi's answer when asked for whether her winning the Nobel Prize provides "an enhanced platform" to address gender issues in STEM (at time 22:00): "It's probably a question that's better posed to the men around the table...there are so many more of them and they are in a position to make change that's 9 times greater than my own position." 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Professor Mark OsbornHello Mastodon.
Same handle - and still living in a microbial world!
Looking forward to reconnecting with friends from the 'other place' and meeting new faces in this brave new ecosystem.
They'll be more #microbes and #microbiomes plus musings and posts on #science #environment #water #pollution #ecology #climatecrisis and #highereducation
Feeling positive and excited about starting out all over again.
Jeff FoustUpdate on @[email protected]: On Dec. 18, the Mars lander did not respond to communications from Earth. Power has been declining for months, as expected, and this may mean the end of operations for the spacecraft. The team will try again to contact InSight. http://go.nasa.gov/3HMVfX6
Pat TaylorThis is crazy cool! A candidate phylum of bacteria successfully grown in the lab for the first time. It's aerobic but needs high CO2, it needs organic carbon but won't grow if there's a lot of it, and it's photosynthetic but lives in a dark antarctic cave. Just wild!

Excellent work. The first cultivation of the phylum Eremiobacterota revealing a bacterium that seemingly can live on both light and air!

Geoscientists of the world are lucky that #agu2022 was last week! It is getting cold 🥶in Chicago this week and the ❄️❄️❄️is coming for the end of the week.
@michael nope, I don’t see it. Is that instance specific
@michael huh, I looked hopefully after posting but failed to find such a thing. I will try to edit this momentarily testing tseting
