Calling all artists, streamers, and citizens of the internet!
#SavetheVaquita Week is Oct 11-17th, and you can help!

With fewer than 20 left, these little porpoises are almost gone and hardly anyone knows about them. Let's change that by flooding the web with vaquita content!

Share and read on!

Save the Vaquita Week October 11-17th 2026 With fewer than 20 estimated remaining, the vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal on the planet. Found only in Mexico's Gulf of California, this little porpoise is a relative of whales & dolphins and is the smallest of the cetaceans. Vaquita are accidentally caught in illegal gillnets set for the totoaba fish, and they sadly drown as bycatch. Fishermen seek out the totoaba for it's swim bladder which is valued at many thousands of dollars in illegal markets. Without intervention, the vaquita will soon be gone. But you can help! For one week, the goal is to flood the internet with vaquita content. Use #SaveTheVaquita to share art, videos, streams, and more on any platform. If we all do a little, it adds up to a lot!

This is something I think about *all the time* as a science communicator. Twitch, where I do most of my online outreach, is geared toward long form explanations, and that's one of the reasons I like it so much. I want to help people *grow* those attention spans

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:
