A year of brutal hurricanes, the wonderful resilience of limpets, talking about meat consumption, and more! The Monday Morning Salvage: December 4, 2017.

Flotsam (what we’re obsessed with right now)

Lagan (what we’re reading from the peer-reviewed literature)

And finally, if you thought it was creepy that Facebook conducted a study by manipulating users emotions through delivering negative or positive posts to their timelines, you’re gonna love this new study, where Facebook analyzes the content of rants you wrote and then deleted without posting.

Shipping News (academic and ocean policy wonkery)

Driftwood (what we’re reading on dead trees)

Derelicts (favorites from the deep archive)

For some reason I’ve been thinking about this very strange series of events from 2011 recently.
