Proof of life. This week, I'm in Lian, Batangas with Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines to train 41 gov't representatives from 14 coastal towns in marine wildlife stranding response.

Oh... The Ocean Cleanup is now an IUCN Member 👀

Watched a 🇰🇷 show hosted by all-male cast w/ 3 PhDs as guests - 2 men, 1 woman. When a host said he was annoyed that they didn't let her finish talking, a co-host joked they should just direct all questions at her since the 2 men would answer anyway... I felt that. #WomenInSTEM

fun bloody fieldwork with @licology.bsky.social 😂

📣 A not-so- #NewPaperAlert#ICYMIacademic.oup.com/cz/advance-a... We wrote about a rare case from a stranding incident in Siaton, Negros Oriental 🇵🇭 reported in 2021.

Thank you!

Any fish and shark feeds?

I don't check Bluesky often enough, partly because most folks I interacted w/ on Twitter have not made the move, but also a huge part is I'm now generally tired to check all my media social media apps.

This week in my "science graduate student skills for success" course we're talking about getting interviewed by journalists about your research. Scientists and science communicators who have been interviewed a lot, what top tips do you have for beginners? How do you prepare for an interview? 🧪
