New from me: a profile of @superorganismvc, a new venture firm that is focused on nature and biodiversity 🌳🐟🪲💰
“We have sometimes called ourselves the closest thing to a conservationist on a cap table," @WebbKevin said.
Ryan Huling is the author of 'The Hidden Nations of Animals.' In this essay, adapted from his book, he discusses how our understanding of civilizations applies to animals

Are you a scientist, innovator, or conservationist using biotechnology to protect our oceans? Revive & Restore has launched a $2M Biotech for Climate Resilience Fund to support projects that harness genomic sequencing, cell culture, and genetic engineering to strengthen marine ecosystems and drive nature-based climate solutions.
🔬 Funding range: $50K–$400K
🌱 Focus: Marine ecosystems (non-coral) — from microbes to blue carbon habitats like mangroves and kelp forests
📅 Letters of Intent due: November 7, 2025

I’m hiring for two major roles on my team at Ulysses.
There has not been a better time to join Ulysses.
In the last few months, revenue & pipeline have gone vertical, and we've made significant technological breakthroughs that will forever change how subsea work is done.
It's been the most successful period in our company's history, and we are just getting started.
We will be announcing some of these breakthroughs soon. Stay tuned.
The jobs:
1. GM, Commercial: Your job is to stand up and lead our commercial business unit. Take our early contracts and scale them to build a machine that reshapes how critical telecoms and energy infrastructure is inspected and repaired.
2. Director of Marketing and Brand. Your job is to make Ulysses impossible to ignore. World-build. Make Ulysses "the Ocean Company". Take the air out of the room. High taste. No slop. Tell the world what Ulysses does.
Quit your boring desk job.
The ocean is calling.
Full job descriptions are @ ulysses.inc/jobs

I ran into an interesting story, and since I have much time on this cruise I will write it as a thread.
Teaser: The US owes its ownership of Alaska to one of “the Eight Beauties of Ancient China,” the concubine Chen Yuanyuan from the 1600s.
Here is the tale…

I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @WildInsights AI team (and completely impossible without Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation effort).

Pumped about this one. Meet @UlyssesEcoEng, building robots to restore seagrass at scale.
Introducing: Ulysses.
We build autonomous underwater drones for ocean stewardship.
We raised an oversubscribed $2m pre-seed led by @lowercarbon @orbuch.
We restore seagrass ecosystems in the US and Australia w/ partners like @nature_org.

AI and Ecology Research Lab introductions now LIVE on @YouTube!!!
Check it out 🥳🥳: youtube.com/@AIforConservati…
And if you're a PI who works in AI+Ecology and want to be included, send me a 3-min intro video and we will add it!!
Birds are all dinosaurs, and every fall, many of them pop into New York City.
This Climate Week, take a morning to eat a bagel, see some dinosaur tourists, and meet other folks in climate and nature tech.
Are you bird-curious?
Dust off your 'nocs, and come peep some pigeons with us on Wednesday morning of NY Climate Week! 🐦👀
@planeteercap and our good friends at @superorganismvc are getting outdoors to check out the Fall migration. Register below.

Worth updating your mental model on amateur biology. There's an important future being crafted in this spare bedroom lab.

Woolly mammoths survived on Wrangel Island until 2000 BC!
But why did they go extinct?
Were they doomed once stuck on the island?
We went to Siberia, collected bones & teeth, and sequenced 21 complete genomes.
Here is what we found (🧵)
