Ok ok ok ok the awesome Rhode Island #statecoral and its unusual capacity for dormancy made its way onto @jeopardy last night, thanks to Anya Brown and her incredible scicomm mind! Nice work!! #AstrangiaThings Roger Williams University
Wonderful in-depth NPR interview with Dr. Koty Sharp Sean P Grace, PhD and Amy Apprill on our favorite temperate coral in New England #AstrangiaThings, and the response to high ocean temperatures. In-depth interview, well worth the listen! ctpublic.org/show/where-we-…
Great conversation this morning about Southern Connecticut State University 🦉 Werth Center for Coastal and Marine Studies, Roger Williams University’s Dr. Koty Sharp and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)’s Amy Apprill research on southern New England’s only coral Astrangia poculata! ctpublic.org/show/where-we-…
New paper alert! 🪸Coral sperm motility is activated by similar signaling pathways as humans🧍and sea urchins, and is pH-dependent. This feature may make them sensitive to #OA. Led by PhD student Benjamin H. Glass in a fun collab w/@HolliePutnam lab #astrangia doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…
Dr. Randi Rotjan of BU Biology and BU_MarineProgram, has her research featured extensively PNASNews on human health, public health, and transmission of diseases. The Initiative on Cities' Early Stage Urban Research Award supported the research. 🔗pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Congratulations calvin Yu for doing a great job on your #astrangiathings BU_MarineProgram honors thesis today! Huge thanks to committee members McAlister Lab and @NonlinearNature, and to lab members Caroline Fleming (she/her) and Tyler chidsey. Loved zooming in from CO for the occasion :-)

The Deep Sea COBRA Master Class in Deep-sea Expedition Leadership is now accepting applications for 2024! If you want to learn more, our new Frontiers - Marine Science paper just came out, describing what it is and how it works. #NSFfunded frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
The Temperate Coral Conference Roger Williams University was one of the most invigorating & community-focused experiences I’ve had during my PhD. I was thrilled to share my work on #Astrangiapoculata, meet the founders & future of this field, & share the experience with some of my best friends!
Another Temperate Coral Research Conference Roger Williams University in the books! Exciting to be watching this field move forward so quickly, and to discuss how we can apply the #astrangiathings we’ve learned to address climate change threats on our temperate and tropical marine ecosystems alike!
It’s a joy to coordinate these with Sean P Grace, PhD and Dr. Randi Rotjan - this year we are generating new shared resources/protocols for culturing, husbandry, and public awareness campaigns. This community is as mighty as the #temperatecorals it studies!
