My 4th and final PhD chapter is out!
We tested if and how growing corals on different metals impacts the function and composition of #coralmicrobiomes .

Time to ditch BioRender? I had no idea they were claiming copyright to the figures we make with it, even after we pay for use of the service.

Inspiring Stage 3 presentation from MSc Student Laura La Motta on the adaptive traits of subtropical P. aliciae promoting survival in high latitude reefs🪸🧫 congratulations 🥳 well done! 👏 Jennifer Matthews Emma Camp Brigitte Sommer UTS C3 Sydney Institute of Marine Science

A fantastic Stage 3 presentation by Gemma M Gillette on their PhD topic exploring the role of novel coral nursery infrastructure as fish habitat on the GBR 🐠🪸 very exciting results, big congratulations 🎉👏 Emma Camp David J Suggett David Booth UTS C3

My 1st PhD chapter is out! 🚨 We Investigated intra-colony spatial variation of Acropora oxyregulation capacity 🪸 evaluating parameterisation of Hypoxia Response Curves, fragmentation stress effects, & hypoxic thresholds for key coral species

Speaking of super students…

This is Tash Bartels, who due to a miscommunication, managed to pull off a game-changing experiment (on coral spawning no less) with ONE DAY’S notice.

8 days down & she’s still here running the experiment until midnight. 💪🪸👶

Proud that my first paper has been published! We investigated how Symbiodiniaceae can adapt to sublethal temperature and nutrient stress by remodelling their lipid profile. Check out what we found: doi.org/10.3389/frpro.…

Capping off four years, today was my thesis submission day

Endless, massive thanks to my incredible supervisors, JB Raina, Dr Caitlin Alinya Lawson, Maiken Ueland and David J Suggett

Glad to say that not knowing what the next year will look like is more exciting than scary

🌊Exciting findings from my 1st first-author paper & PhD chapter! #Coralreef carbonate budgets can be enhanced through #coralrestoration 🙌Key metric to evaluate the success of interventions in recovering essential #ecosystemservices - wave attenuation🏝️ shorturl.at/fgE37

Glad to say that our study on the viability of plastic-free alternatives in reef restoration propagation is now published! 🪸🦠

🚨New Paper!!
We investigated how altering the rate of heating in Symbiodiniaceae heat stress studies impacts the outcomes observed. Read on to find out if how quickly the temperature is ramped up matters!

It has been the most incredible week being able to see coral spawning in-situ, and helping Jennifer Matthews take her #coral baby food out to the reef, aiming to give baby corals a fighting start to life 🪸🍼💪 I cant wait to see the results!
