Once you start noticing this, you can’t unsee it anywhere.

It's as if we need more options in mobility besides forced car dependency for everything.

Cargo bikes and trailers FTW!!

Ah so you had a trailer to start with. Was wondering if there were kits out there I wasn’t aware of. Still looks sweet!!

I started #InternationallWomensDay cuddling my 6 month old daughter. May you have an equally rewarding start to your day. ❤️

A metal bike rack shaped like an octopus on a beach in Monterey, California. Or I think it’s a bike rack. Could just be art. I’d use it as a bike rack regardless 🤣

I know people generally hate artsy #bike racks, but this one in #MontereyCA is fitting 🦑 AND functional. ❤️

Join us! We nerd out about all things 🧪🦑🌊 and how advances in computer science can address our data challenges.

This post kicked off a really illuminating and helpful conversation in how we talk about and use #AI4good for 🌊🦑. Bottom line: We must do better because we can’t afford not to. Stay tuned for an AMA where we will do a deep dive (pun def intended) on our #DeployableAI and #FathomNet projects!!

Thank you @jethroreading32.bsky.social and @tuexplorer1.bsky.social. I’m thinking it might be worth us doing an AMA about this project to give more background. Sorry, it’s been a busy day (with a lot of upcoming deadlines), but could imagine doing something in the future.

@tuexplorer1.bsky.social I hear you and I do agree with a lot of points you made. Given this hugely illuminating back and forth, I can do better talking about how this will come together to enable biological observations in the ocean. I’ll start by fixing the website. No hard feelings?

Someone told me that some talks are using a silent disco format at #OSM26 . BUT WILL THERE BE A SILENT DISCO?!! Please add to my FOMO and send pics of this happening.
