Getting ready to pitch #publishers always makes me nervous. An exciting middle grade fiction adventure #book with cliffhangers, humor, fun characters & science! There's a museum heist, a mysterious crystal, conspiracy theories, weird weather, ocean tech & more as in photos. Wish me luck! πŸ§ͺπŸ“š#booksky

Urgent warning over full-face mask drowning risk US safety regulators have warned snorkellers to stop using a brand of full-face snorkel masks sold on Amazon for the last seven years

I personally witnessed someone trying to get one off (another brand) when they were panicking in the water in the Galapagos, before I hauled their ass in. These masks should not be used snorkeling and not sold by reputable retailers.

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

Your welcome. It's hard right now, but just know that there are people making a difference, working hard, and doing good. We have to continue to push for what's right, honest, and good for people and the planet. It will turn around.....hopefully sooner than later.

Even though fascinating science unknowns remain, we understand plenty about extreme weather and Earth's other powerful forces. More than enough to prepare, respond, and take actions now to reduce risk and increase safety. It was a strong message from scientists I interviewed for Dangerous Earth. πŸ§ͺ🌎
