This story of the resilience and courage of a young pelican, who "asked" at a NOAA lab for help, and GOT it, is my feel-good story of the month 🥺 🦑 🌊 🧪 wapo.st/4roaN8r https://wapo.st/4roaN8r

Great article, quoting several of my colleagues: "'A map is never neutral'" Meet the cartographers who took on centuries of western bias. Equal Earth projection, adopted by the UN last week, provides alternative to 16th-century Mercator. https://www.theguardian.com/science/ng-interactive/2026/sep/18/map-cartographers-western-bias-mercator-equal-earth #gischat ⚒️ #blacksky

An honor to be at one of the most productive workshops ever, at @scrippsocean.bsky.social, in support of implementing the new BBNJ treaty and marveling at the talent of Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOPs), such as Ando Rabearisoa of Madagascar 🇲🇬. Our 🌊 future is bright and resilient! 🦑

Honored to share this space in a @nature.com piece with the great @derekgeographer.bsky.social , on how the recent UN vote to move beyond the Mercator map projection to Equal Earth may change education, public perception & hopefully social justice for Africa. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02820-x

"The winners included an economics prize for research showing that wealthier individuals take more from a bowl of sweets meant for children than did less-wealthy people... and a peace prize for evidence that people value friends who are mean to those that they dislike." 🧪 [contains quote post or other embedded content]
