Big news: thanks to the Kinghorn Foundation, the number of #Fulbright scholarships for Australians doubled this year, & will grow more next year. Last night we honoured 2019 grantees, incl Aus marine biologist Taryn Foster & Brown University grad Dan Sherrell now Uni of Adelaide

Found this blast from the past from before I joined Twitter. I was so nervous for this interview but be gone elmer fudd put me right at ease 😊

This super🌟 not only a talented scientist passionate about mental health, also plays AFL for Geelong! Congrats @Erin_Hoare Fulbright Australia

Heartfelt congratulations to Taryn Foster, recipient of a #FullbrightFellowship. Exciting times ahead for you California Academy of Sciences furthering 3D printing and robotic technologies to benefit reef restoration! We are all behind you!! @WomenSciAUST #Perth #coral #InnovativeScience

Good piece in The New York Times on our #marineheatwaves paper in NatureClimate - Climate change “may be a gradual process, but set on that backdrop are these extreme warming events that might be becoming more common that can have more dramatic consequences,” nytimes.com/2019/03/04/cli…

Hey #marinescience educators! If your students are interested in #coralreefs, check out our recently published lesson plan measuring the impacts of #ENSO and #coastalupwelling on reef growth! Fun for everyone yr 10 to undergrad. bit.ly/2EPnJyo Australian Institute of Marine Science Florida Tech

Coming to School Strike 4 Climate Australia in Perth (11am-1pm, St Georges Cathedral) on Friday 15 Mar? Help carry the HUGE (7 by 5m) #kidscareaboutclimatechange flag (1,246 drawings, 11 countries, 120 schools- kidscareaboutclimate.org! Below it's in #Antarctica with #TeamHb3 of Homeward Bound !

Why is WA the only state with no renewable energy target?

What's the state of Western Australia's coral reefs? How were they impacted by the recent global bleaching event? Find out more in this study by James Gilmour that involved 19 institutions!! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Huge collaborative effort from Western Australian scientists. Sadly, despite their isolation WA reefs are not immune to #climatechange or #coralbleaching Paper at rdcu.be/buN8o Australian Institute of Marine Science UWA Oceans Institute Curtin University CSIRO Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia @CoralCoE Western Australian Museum

Did you know: 1000+s of tiny animals - #coralpolyps - work together to build the rocky framework that makes a #coralreef ? Look closely at these #coral skeletons and you can see the holes where each polyp used to sit!! Thx Australian Institute of Marine Science for these epic skeletons from NW #australia

The gorgeous and iconic living roof California Academy of Sciences does not disappoint! It has been an awesome first month of the Fulbright Fellowship Fulbright Australia

#Fulbright Monash University Postdoc Scholar Dr Taryn Foster is having a 🐳 of a time in #SanFran! Her #CoralRestoration research is gaining some serious momentum at California Academy of Sciences 🐠 Australian Institute of Marine Science

Australian citizens and residents, please consider signing this petition to have the #ClimateEmergency declared by parliament. Coral reefs don't have time for more smokescreens and deliberations. aph.gov.au/petition_sign?…

For those who didn't know "depth-color coded projections of single-cell freshwater protozoans" could be mesmerizingly beautiful, the 1st- & 2nd-place winners of the 2019 Nikon Small World Competition. 📷s: Left, Teresa Zgoda & Teresa Kugler / Right, Dr. Igor Siwanowicz

Sad news at the California Academy of Sciences this week

Many small eggs or fewer large eggs? We saw no trade-off between coral egg size and number of eggs in 7 Acropora species at Scott Reef. Paper at: rdcu.be/b5Nzy James Gilmour Australian Institute of Marine Science

Thanks to recent tech advances, we can now use automation to count and (nondestructively) spectrally sort live coral embryos and larvae using flow cytometry! #FlyCoralLarvae Check out the method here: rdcu.be/b50xb Australian Institute of Marine Science UnionBiometrica
