I’ve heard this described as snorkeling versus SCUBA diving in disciplines. I would say I am more of a free diver 🤣. I thought it might not be a good career move but it was so much more fun for me.

Same tool but I focused on modern 🌊 chemistry as a post doc after getting my PhD in (mostly) paleo 🌊. They’re different communities which meant a bit of starting over, which was fun! But I’m pretty sure it hurt my career. For example, colleagues said things like “I don’t know what he does“

Prospective (and current) graduate students in oceanography and marine biology: Check if you are eligible for the Nancy Foster Scholarship. If you are eligible and want to possibly work together toward a graduate degree in oceanography, I'd be happy to talk. fosterscholars.noaa.gov

I had a great visit to #RowanUniversity in beautiful Glassboro, NJ last week. I’m excited and looking forward to what this young department will do!

I’ve had a few recently! And if the audience is there (a big if at AGU) they can be a lot better than a talk.

National Black Dog Day may or may not be a real thing. I don’t care. Here’s my black dog whose name is Cubby-Buddy. He is part Lab, part Shepherd, part Pyrenees.
