🥽!Science nerds!🥽 My friend and graduate student Kristen opened up a cute Redbubble store full of #plankton printed items acquired from her research of plankton 💩. More prints to come. #SciArt redbubble.com/people/knsharp…

Getting a PhD is basically just constantly worrying you’re wrong while convincing others you’re not #phd #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter PhD Voice - Independently Run

While watching a #Jeopardy episode with Stephanie Peart tonight - who can guess the answer? Hint: I currently attend school here. William & Mary (estd. 1693) is one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in US, second only to Harvard (estd. 1636). #Trivia

They're snails and they flap around the ocean THEY'RE LITTLE FLAPPING SNAILS 😭😭😭

#phdlife Virginia Institute of Marine Science - studying with my #sciart skills HETEROTROPHIC SYSTEMS: tend to receive a high input of organic matter fueling internal respiration which exports inorganic nutrients to the ocean and releases #CO2 a #greenhouse gas to the atmosphere

#phdlife Virginia Institute of Marine Science - studying with my #sciart skills AUTOTROPHIC SYSTEMS: tend to receive a high input of inorganic nutrients fueling internal production which draws down #CO2 a #greenhouse gas from the atmosphere and exports organic matter to the adjacent system or #oceans

CO2 levels in our planet's atmosphere averaged 418.81 ppm in the month of March 2022 (NOAA Mauna Loa data). At CO2.Earth & Show.Earth, we recommend a steady diet of #CO2 numbers until humankind achieves life-sustaining levels of 350 ppm or less. #news

#phdlife Virginia Institute of Marine Science - studying with my #sciart skills METABOLISM: just like in #fitness we care about an ecosystem's #metabolism but here it's the balance between primary production and respiration for the whole system which helps determine the fate of #CO2 and #organic carbon

GREAT #scientific papers I read this week related to my #phddissertation Virginia Institute of Marine Science on #carbon cycling, net #ecosystemmetabolism and #modeling •Kemp et al. 1997 •Lake et al. 2013 •Brush & Harris 2016 #womeninscience #phdstudent #phdjourney #phddiaries #CO2 #climate

Happy #EarthDay2022! Estuaries play a major role in our Earth's Biosphere and global carbon budget. Their role in the Carbon Story is crazy complex as there are multiple pathways for carbon to enter, exit and be transformed within the system! #carbon #scicomm #sciart
