We are happy to host Prof Catherine McFadden, Prof Yehuda Benayahu and Mr Stefano Borghi, from Harvey Mudd College , Tel Aviv University and James Cook Uni respectively. With us till 2 July to process and examine soft corals, we hope that they will enjoy their time here!

Nearing the end of my @ChurchillTrust Fellowship & it has been fun spending time in the field & museum with Danwei & students from Reef Ecology Lab Talking phylogenomics & generally nerding out over coral taxonomy 🪸 Looking forward to future collabs!

Had an amazing experience collecting octocorals in Singapore! Thank you very much everyone for the incredible hospitality and great science. It's a privilege to have a bit of Singapore in my PhD! Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum James Cook Uni
