A digitally edited image of a massive Antarctic iceberg floating in the ocean, with stormy clouds and distant mountains in the background. Superimposed on the iceberg is a cartoon-style pipe system, symbolizing the concept of “Antarctic plumbing”—possibly referring to the movement of meltwater beneath ice sheets or human-engineered solutions related to polar melt. The image blends natural elements with industrial symbolism

A digitally edited image of a kelp forest underwater scene, with several sharks swimming in the background. In the foreground, two distinct sets of jaws are overlaid: on the left, a traditional shark jaw with sharp triangular teeth, and on the right, a unique jaw with flat, plate-like structures resembling those of a durophagous (hard-prey-eating) species. The image contrasts different feeding adaptations in marine predators.

A digitally edited image of a great white shark swimming in the ocean, framed through the fossilized jaws of a megalodon. The perspective emphasizes the massive size difference between the extinct megalodon and modern sharks. The background features a school of fish, adding depth to the underwater scene and reinforcing the contrast between past and present marine predators

Forgotten shark jaws just changed ocean science. Forgotten shark jaws just changed ocean science. Decades-old specimens are now revealing shark diets. Here’s why this matters: • Chemicals didn’t ruin the data → Isotopes still readable. • Museum jaws = hidden archives → Rare insights unlocked. • We can study the past → And plan better for the future. Old jaws. New science. Big impact. https://open.substack.com/pub/climateages/p/forgotten-shark-jaws-are-now-a-goldmine?r=2hlav&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
Can overfishing help save an ecosystem? Australia Can overfishing help save an ecosystem? Australia is using it to fight invasive sea urchins. Here’s why it works: • Urchins destroy kelp forests → Marine life vanishes. • No natural predators → Populations explode unchecked. • Fishing keeps numbers below the tipping point → Kelp can recover. A surprising conservation strategy—backed by science. Full story in the link in bio.

Feeling stuck in your Science career is exhausting Feeling stuck in your Science career is exhausting. Here's how you can stay sane while job hunting Applying feels like a full-time job. Rejections sting. Waiting is frustrating. But you don’t have to burn out. Here’s how to protect your purpose, science, and impact: • Detach self-worth from applications. Your value isn’t a job offer. • Set a job search schedule. Avoid the 24/7 stress loop. • Track progress, not just rejections. Small wins count. • Stay connected. Community makes all the difference. What’s been the hardest part of your job search?
