Although Kānaka Maoli have consistently & unambiguously voiced opposition to building TMT at Mauna Kea—a sacred mountain to the Indigenous people of Hawaiʻi—we all must continue to voice opposition. Tell the U.S. National Science Foundation board that it SHOULD NOT fund TMTHawaii!

Mononoke said this Sunday is for forest bathing

Excited to share that my Masters project is out today in Molecular Ecology ( #OpenAccess ) as my first first-author publication w/ an incredible team!

We show that #whale blow can be a reliable source of DNA for #conservation genetics 🐳

Short summary👇 (1/4)

Let’s pay tribute to those who carry out detailed & difficult ecological field studies (often not published by the ‘top’ journals)

Which are vital to those carrying out meta-analyses (often are published by these same journals)

guys, I can't even read my own papers in one go.

The lab is growing again! #Postdoc position with my lovely supervisor Maria Dornelas on coral species' needs, life histories, and functioning. Deadline's on 29 April.

This is devastating... any advice on how to cry in a mask?

The same reef from a drone shot in 2023 and just a few days ago (2024) - the bleaching on the northern GBR is next level. The world is on fire (even under the water). Photos from Mar Inn

The build up of heat exposure (Degree Heating Days) on the #GreatBarrierReef this summer has been extraordinarily brutal.

Compare late February with yesterday:

This is more widespread than any previous mass coral bleaching and mortality event.

Tracking the fate of bleached corals: we have a LOT of georeferenced orthomosaics (above and below water) from the northern GBR that will be open source and freely available for analysis and follow up surveys. More information to come, DM for details in the interim 🪸

I’m looking for a few hundred fish photos please 🙏

We’re testing a new machine learning pipeline for landmarking and it works great for zebrafish but we’d like to test other species too.

Imagine thinking you're being self-aware enough to brag about it in Science but ended up just telling on yourself being an awful cog in the racist institution wheel

I am glad he realizes he fucked up, but I don’t think he should be the person who gets to hand out advice in Science about this or to assess the incredible human cost of this kind of cowardly behavior.

I don’t want to pay less national insurance. I want the surgery my dad’s been waiting years to get to happen. I want a train to from London to Edinburgh to cost less than the flight. I want all children fed a hot meal in school. I want benefits at levels people can live on.

📣 DATA REQUEST! 📣
Coral Reef Watch needs in-water data and observations of #CoralBleaching or (hopefully!) no bleaching. If you are in the field, particularly in the #CoralTriangle , please submit your data to:
coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/rese…
TIA!

Thrilled to soon be joining Edith Cowan University (ECU) as a Vice Chancellor's Research Fellow, focusing on reef fish macroecology 🐠🪸

It's not emigration/immigration if you're a digital nomad, obvi 💁‍♀️

New paper alert! 🚨 We worked with Shane and others in the iDiv MoB working group using @BioTIMEdb data to look at beta diversity: whether homogenisation or differentiation is more prevalent.

We had a great time working with this team again! :) 🤓
