That’s the weird part, because usually species will move to poles from climate change related stressors. The waters of coastal Patagonia have had issues with fishery mismanagement so that could explain the depleted stock. I have to talk to the researchers on the project to see if they’re learning more about the movement of the fish

I studied and lived with these species in Punta Tombo Argentina. Their food source is known to be moving further north. But we also saw these catastrophic events from time to time where the juvies had a super high mortality rate in their first year away

Who do you think we secure now? Higgins?

I’d love to see what Lou and Turner are going to do for our secondary.

Can I get an explanation on the cop?

I would never give this up. That person must not be in the best financial situation

There it is, poor fuckers. No idea what the banging was, but I imagine they’ve been dead for a while

Thank you for teaching me something new today. Both Cat and Just

I work as a researcher in the university lab OceanGate used to test their vessels. My colleague told me that they would have tests run 7 times resulting in 6 failures and 1 success. OceanGate engineers (maybe their leadership?) would chalk that up as a success and keep going. My colleague says no one in the building would ever get into anything these “morons” built.

I assume there’s a fair bit of hyperbole in this, but I think it generally is matching what we’re seeing. Oh, also the general consensus here is that their hull caved in and they’ve been dead for a while.

That’s why we (UAW 4121) were fighting for a childcare fund for Research Scientists/Engineers. But UW didn’t want to set the precedent of Staff getting childcare. Because what’s next… the maintenance staff getting it as well?? Oh the fucking horror

Also, residents, postdocs, and grad students get the fund because they are classified as “trainees”. But if a postdoc eventually transitions into a research scientist role (instead of something like a tenure track position) they lose that fund?? It’s all fucking mental

I’m psyched that he’s looking so good. Was worried we’d be without him for the first third/half of the season

I love that family. That’s why I went looking for it :)

I haven’t yet but would love to go. Tons of my friends/colleagues keep recommending during the migration season!

They were responsive to my emails and said there would be english speakers there! I don’t think that should stop you from going!!

Did you go to Dauphin Island?

Do you speak Spanish? I almost went to the Chiapas Birding Festival this year. It looks like an amazing time. https://www.instagram.com/chiapasbirdingfestival/?hl=en

Where are you located? There are usually many local festivals that we can highlight

Definitely want to continue the game threads for NBA/NFL games. It’s really fun to have a small community of people you can shit talk with especially when they aren’t around in person

Fuck yeah, glad I can shitpost somewhere.
