Our founder/CEO Dr Isabel Torres presented at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology this week, sharing our eye-opening data and discussing actionable solutions to dismantle the systemic barriers faced by mothers & caregivers in #STEMM . #MothersInScience #WomenInSTEM #MaternalWall #MotherhoodPenalty

Establishing high seas marine protected areas 'can have benefits that extend well beyond the borders of the area' says our Nichola Clark.

She joins Audrey Tan 🐋 to discuss the critical role the #HighSeas play in safeguarding marine biodiversity. pew.org/3PZpoWz

ICYMI: Applications for the 2024 Unitas Malacologica Student Research Award are open! Up to three awards of up to €2000 will be made. Application deadline is 30 April. See: unitasmalacologica.org/projects.html

So happy to see this attention to invertebrates. If you live in the UK, please nominate a marine species. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our new paper on host and environmental drivers of coral symbiont diversity is out now! We found symbionts in Acropora were structured more by thermal history and environment, while Pocillopora symbionts were driven more by host genetics. Read more here:

Our molecular survey of intertidal oysters in Queensland is now out! We found 14 species total - several of these are good candidates for aquaculture, here and elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific:

📢 New paper by Li Peng and @ClaraYong in Science of the Total Environment describing the effects of #coral morphology on #microplastic trapping! 🪸👩🏻‍🔬 Compact branching coral colonies captured and encouraged more #microplastic deposition compared to open colonies. Well done 🌟

This animation shows the depth use of #whalesharks at Ningaloo Reef. It was compared with the vertical distribution of prey density to reveal that while the sharks dove to depths where prey concentration was highest, they didn’t extend the time spent at these depths.
