So that tweet did some numbers overnight đą
Welcome to the new followers! Did you read something that made you think about the #deepsea in a new way & want to see some deep sea science in action? Have I got some live ROV dive sources for ya!

The big 3 groups doing live broadcasts of deepsea science are @EVNautilus, @SchmidtOcean, and @oceanexplorer. @Ocean_Networks also occasionally broadcasts their cabled observatory servicing cruises. Check them out! Summer is when scientists do a lot of work at sea!
Okay, so let's talk about this, bc everyone is acting like this is some kind of clue that the vehicle was doomed from the getgo. Brief thread here.
You can't just *buy* submersible systems off the shelf. Most research submersible systems are built â¨by the org that owns the vehicle⨠The presence of a video game controller is not the "gotcha" everyone thinks it is.

2/âBy drilling into sediment cores 100s of feet beneath Antarcticaâs sea floor, scientists discovered that during previous periods of global warmingâ3M & 15M yrs agoâloose sediment layers formed & slipped, sending massive tsunami waves to the shores of S America, NZ & SE Asia.â
3/âWeak layers beneath 3 submarine landslides, consist ofâŚoozes & glaciomarine diamicts. The lithological differences, from glacial to interglacial variations in biological productivity, ice proximity & circulation, caused changes in deposition preconditioning slope failure.â
Tomorrow the @EUCouncil will adopt a set of conclusions on international ocean governance and #DeepSeaMining.
Their decisions will shape the future of the #DeepSea.
EU Member States must stand against #DeepSeaMining to protect the worldâs last true wilderness from harm.

EU Member States must stand against #DeepSeaMining to protect the worldâs last true wilderness from harm.
We welcome @EUCouncil steps to support stronger regulations, higher environmental standards & a precautionary principle on potential future #DeepSeaMining.
But more ambitious targets & proper commitments are needed to #DefendTheDeep from those who want to destroy it for profit.

Surprisingly, the same @EUCouncil called for a more ambitious position on #DeepSeaMining in 2020.
Yet now #EU Member States want to cut back on ambition just as #COP15 talks on new global #biodiversity targets are underway.
This must not happen.

1/n Super proud of work published this week by @anzheng25 et al. in @NatMachIntell using #deeplearning to identify sequence context features predictive of transcription factor binding. rdcu.be/cdMmE Some key points:
2/n The main idea: TFs typically bind short motifs of 6-12bp. But only a small fraction of motifs in the genome are actually bound. How well can the question of âto bind or not to bindâ be predicted by sequence context (1kb) around the motif using #DeepSea style CNNs?
3/n Pretty well! For most TFs we tried, we could predict whether its motif was bound based on ChIP-seq very well (mean auROC ~0.94) just from local sequence context
The Vast Majority of the Deep-Sea Remains Completely Unexplored: A Thread 1/n
Although the earliest interest and sampling in the deep sea occurred in the late 1800âs, a majority of deep-sea exploration did not occur until after the 1960âs. 2/n
The current amount of sampling and exploration of this great environment is without precedent. Despite this, new species and new habitats are constantly being found 3/n
The Guinness Book of World Records has an entry for biggest male-female difference: the deep-sea angler fish, also known as the giant sea devil. #deepsea
Females of the largest species, Krøyer's deep sea angler fish, Ceratias holboelli, reach 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length. Males, by contrast, are much smaller, reaching 14 cm (5.5 in)
The female is about 500,000 times heavier than the male.
Yesterday, on the 1st day of the UK's #COVID19 lockdown, I started posting a daily #deepsea fact on my instagram (@diva_amon) to help amaze/excite/distract. Will cross-post them here also. Feel free to add comments/questions/etc. & I'll try to get to them #DivasDailyDeepSeaFact
DAY 1: The test used to diagnose #COVID19 & other pandemics was developed with the help of an enzyme isolated from a #microbe found in #DeepSea #HydrothermalVents & freshwater hot springs.

DAY 2: #DeepSea life can be slow. Case in point: the Greenland #shark (Somniosus microcephalus) can live for >400 years & only becomes sexually mature at >150 years old. Yes, it took me a grand total of 2 posts to start talking about sex. I blame @Marahh2o. Video: @oceanexplorer
Our paper <Marine connectivity dynamics: clarifying cosmopolitan distributions of marine interstitial invertebrates and the meiofauna paradox> is out in @Mar_Biology đ
