I am disappointed with the results of #COP25. The international community lost an important opportunity to show increased ambition on mitigation, adaptation & finance to tackle the climate crisis. But we must not give up, and I will not give up.

Let me break this down a bit further. The suggestion that scientists necessarily refrain from public discussions of the policy implications of the science is not only wrong, it's potentially deadly.
Replying to @MichaelEMann
"If scientists choose not to engage in the public debate, we leave a vacuum that will be filled by those whose agenda is one of short-term self-interest..."

Enjoyed my visit to @ColbyCollege immensely. So impressed by the students & faculty & the example they're setting as 1st institution in NESCAC/Ivy/etc. to achieve net zero carbon emissions (colby.edu/magazine/colby-lea…). Come on @AmherstCollege, @WilliamsCollege, @Wesleyan_u!

Trace metals in the ocean are essential in regulating photosynthesis and the global carbon cycle. In a #newpaper, @DrSingleCell and @dohnemus use an innovative #bigdata approach to elucidate patterns of ocean trace metal cycling. Read more in @AGU_Eos: ow.ly/3grf50uu0iE

Students should be made to think, to doubt, to communicate, to question, to learn from their mistakes, and most importantly have fun in their learning.

“The more nuts a squirrel can store, the more likely it is to survive lean times,” Twining said. “We think that the same process is true with #phytoplankton and iron.” Learn more from @DrSingleCell about the best way for algae to #squirrelaway iron: bigelow.org/news/articles/20…

How does calcium carbonate dissolve in the upper water column, where it is already over-saturated? A #newstudy by Bigelow Laboratory scientists shows that a portion is dissolved within the guts of tiny zooplankton called #copepods. ow.ly/grV530kORRg @SciReports @JesWaller27
