- An obvious AI-generated ad included in a NYT email to me (a subscriber). So many questions: 1. Why only 23? 2. How is riding that thing easier (or safer) than just walking up the stairs? 3. Can that thing even drive up stairs, because it looks stuck. 4. WTF?

- Ok, now to make this happen for the North Atlantic Right Whale.
- Just got featured as part of Science Literacy Week for my work with the @argocanada.bsky.social #AdoptAFloat program and for other outreach. What can I say -- I like to talk about what I do! 😀🌊 www.linkedin.com/posts/fisher...

- Another beautiful September Halifax morning, another day watching visitors to our city trying to figure out to pay for the ferry by taking out cash from a private ATM, turning it into different cash, and feeding it into a little box. @samaustind5.bsky.social @tonymancini2025.bsky.social time for tap

- Reposted by Clark Richards, PhD🌊The Southern Ocean is warming, is productivity changing? New paper by Liniger et al. uses the nitrate sensors on 274 SOCCOM/BGC-Argo floats to compute annual NCP. It has increased significantly over the past two decades. @mbarinews.bsky.social @soccomproject.bsky.social @bgc-argo.bsky.social
- 🌊 Another beautiful day teaching kids about the ocean and how we measure it in Halifax NS, aboard the historic CSS Acadia at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. One of the oldest hydrographic research ships still afloat! #CSSAcadia

But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.
- #FossilFriday !! I’d love to be able to date/identify these fossils!
- Hey #FossilSky (is that a thing?)! These fossils are all over the shore at my family farm in NB Canada, along the Wolastoq (Saint John) river. I’d love to know if there’s a way to date them and/or identify species. Can someone help?? 🧪

- A strong wind, a hay field in NB, a recently-turned 7yo enjoying summer, and a kite made out of a garbage bag, duct tape, bailer twine, and an old sheet made for a perfect summer day.

- Hey! That's me 😀 Seriously though, Adopt-a-float is a great outreach program, and one of the funnest things I get to do as part of my job. A highlight this year was hosting my daughter's grade 1 class at the Bedford Institute to tour and learn about Argo.

- Saturday morning adventures in parenting:
- 🌊 Today was World Oceans Day, and I set up some gear and demos with colleagues from the NS Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It was a great turnout, and a lot of fun! (photo not representative because all the times it was busy there was no way I could grab a photo).🌊

- After many years of direct and collaborative involvement in working towards implementing a new CTD sensor on Argo floats, it is very satisfying to finally see it (officially) come to fruition. 🌊🧪
