- Reposted by Ben FarmerA plea from an editor: postdocs & grad students who want to review manuscripts, please (!) have an online presence with your current email. I try to solicit reviews from ECRs, but we all move a lot, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to reach you at the email address on your last paper 🧪🌍

- Reposted by Ben FarmerI don't think people appreciate the extent to which coral reefs are screwed. Even if ocean acidification doesn't get them, increasing ocean temperatures will. How screwed they are is up to us.
- There’s no tipping point beyond which ocean acidification kills corals, new research shows. With every creeping bit of acidification, corals just continue to die off. 🧪🌊 eos.org/articles/cor...
