Teuthowenia Tuesday! ROV pilots filmed this glass squid during the #DesigningTheFuture3 expedition at 739 m. Read about the animal and the DeepPIV imaging system from @kakanikatija.bsky.social & @mbarinews.bsky.social via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/ekV8I...
To see how important US science is, consider measurements of changes in ocean heat content. US data are ~53% of the total. Over half!
But removing the US data is worse than randomly removing 80% of the total data, because unlike other countries, the US makes measurements everywhere. š§Ŗš
The space-age instrument creating this light show is DeepPIV, for Deep particle image velocimetry; it was developed by @kakanikatija.bsky.social & the Bioinspiration Lab team at @mbarinews.bsky.social. It was mounted on ROV SuBastian during #DesigningTheFuture3.

International collaboration has facilitated a global ocean observing system, providing data to measure ocean heat content at a resolution that enables the tracking of climate change. This study looks ...
Voting by mail in CA is so f*cking easy. Have some wine, read some articles/analysis, [repeat], fill out your ballot. Drop it off at the post office. Get an email from CA SoS saying that it was received and countedā¦. I mean, you even get an āI votedā sticker for bragging rights. SOOOOO EASY
I know that primary voting isnāt over yet, but JFC. WHAT ARE THE <50 YR OLDS EVEN DOING?!!!
Why does anyone think itās ok to dump shit in the ocean?? š Seriously. www.theguardian.com/science/vide...
As always, itās the marine life š¦š that steal the show. Lasers š„ are a close second. š #DesigningTheFuture3 @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social youtu.be/dJjQ7rldybg?...

By using cutting-edge imaging technologies (such as #EyeRIS & #DeepPIV) and rapid genome sequencing, the deep-sea team of #DesigningTheFuture3 were able to confirm 31 new species, including 7 ctenophores!
