The University of Washington remains firmly committed to creating opportunity and expanding access to world-class education for students from all backgrounds. This is central to our public mission as the University FOR Washington.

For all you weather bugs, Grace Leuchtenberger & I wrote up 17 years of data from the Friday Harbor Labs weather station. Shout out to Brian Helmuth for shipping me a spare tower back in 2005! Read more here: tinyurl.com/4bfrz9kc Carrington Lab UW Biology

New paper in Functional Ecology: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… Really proud of this one, co-authored with three amazing undergraduate students School of Biological Sciences😁 We show that the effects of heatwaves on fitness are very sensitive to timing. Worth a read especially if you do heatwave experiments! 🌡️

Yesterday's North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly is Code UFB! A record 1.50°C (4.45σ) above the 1991-2020 mean, the most over average of any day measured this year. And the running joke is getting old, but yes, I will probably have to extend the y-axis again tomorrow.

Our favorite planet has now seen 20 days in a row breaking the modern-day record high-temperature of 16.924°C (62.46°F) set on July 24, 2022. This global heatwave is likely the hottest 20-day stretch in the last 100,000+ years.

An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal. Thermal stress from

It’s been such a fun and productive summer of field and lab work with our SuperLab group from UW, UVA and Carleton, all 19 of us: 3PI, 2PD, 5GS, 1PB, 6UG & 2HS Carrington Lab UW Biology Dan Thornhill 🌊

Stunning footage (pun intended) of a mussel doing what it does best - stick to salty wet surfaces. Over 40 years of research (by me and many others) summarized in 4 sweet minutes.kqed.org/science/198181… Carrington Lab UW Biology Marine Biology Friday Harbor Labs

Come join David Villalobos-Chaves and I this Thursday (admission is FREE) during this event celebrating Latino/a/x Science at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture! We will tell you all about our research on bats and Costa Rican rodents 😃 burkemuseum.org/calendar/latin…

Another surprise visitor to the San Juan islands today! A giant oarfish washed up on Friday Harbor in near perfect condition. Check out those jaws!!

Glad seeing this out in Functional Ecology, excellently led by Amanda Pettersen. How do fluctuating temperatures alter the amount of energy required to complete development? Another study made possible by our friends Sable Systems International 🐭🐀🧝🏼‍♀️ Sable Systems Europe. Details👇#openaccess Lund University @Biology_LU

Hey #WSN2023 come through the intertidal ecology session at noon today! You'll hear about some thermal physiology (misaligned TPCs!), predictions of fitness outcomes, and baby slugs.

Update - this has been moved to 11:45. Come early!

New in Ecology Letters w/ @JennSunday and Mary O'Connor! We find that temperature-dependence of competitive ability (R*) is cold-shifted relative to population growth rates ✨competitive success is highest at temperatures that are sub-optimal for growth✨ doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

The Santana Lab will be well represented at #SICB2024! Be sure to check out our student and collaborators' awesome talks and posters. See you all soon! 🌊🗻🌲

Hey #SICB2024! Tomorrow morning bright and early I'll be talking ab combining thermosensitivies of multiple life processes to predict fitness! Tmrw (Thurs) morning 8 AM room 609 🐚

#SICB2024 is over and we would like to say a big congrats to our 2024 Best Student Presentation Winners for DCB, David Cuban won the Mimi A. R. Koehl and Stephen A. Wainwright Award for their talk on feeding in sunbirds

Apply soon for Ecological Biomechanics fhl.uw.edu/courses/course… Friday Harbor Labs this summer! Make a splash and join Mark Denny (Stanford U) & me Jun10-Jul12 to study the fluid and solid mechanics of creatures by seashore. Financial aid is available-a$k on your application 1/3

UW Marine Biologists love Kraken hockey, baby! It’s all about the mollusks 🦑 🦪 🐚Carrington Lab UW Biology Friday Harbor Labs #seakraken

We are so excited for our symposium, From Evolution to Innovation at #SICB2025! Talks will be Jan 5 from 8am-3:30pm in Marquis C. We have 11 great presentations from biologists and engineers working in the field of bioinspired design! #SICBioinspired Cassandra Donatelli SICB DCB-DVM
