Octopus Genes, Decolonization, and a mega-dose of Citizen Science! Monday Morning Salvage: April 10, 2017

Flotsam (what we’re obsessed with right now)

Jetsam (what we’re enjoying from around the web)

Instead, I believe that this march needs to be completely apolitical and nonpartisan. I think that we should protest the current administration, which wants to repeal laws guaranteeing clean air and water, claim that climate change is a hoax, and remove scientists’ access to quality healthcare, but in a way that doesn’t alienate members of the current administration. We should demand change, but vaguely, and from no one in particular.

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

Biological Conservation released an epic collection of Citizen Science papers (hilariously not open access, but Unpaywall will help you out with that):

And, of course, it wouldn’t be an Andrew-curated linkfest without something on Deep-sea Mining.

Driftwood (what we’re reading on dead trees)

Derelicts (favorites from the deep archive)

A round-up of all my old posts on 3D-printing. Check out my Thingiverse profile to access my 3D models.
