Atypical birthday with a very long day of field and lab work to get my samples ready for fatty acid analysis. Nonetheless, we did have a short celebration with pie, cake and a beautiful mate as a gift 😊 @IMBRSea

We can restock the oceans by 2050, netting $10 for every $1 spent on conservation — here’s how marketwatch.com/story/we-can-r…. @jpGattuso Cath Lovelock @Prof_CallumYork Terry Hughes

Fake 'marine protected areas' with no conservation value now dominate worldwide. Designated by politicians to deflect public pressure to save marine life - a massive challenge for marine conservation. By contrast, the few well protected MPAs work fantastically well.

Finally defended my master thesis! "Trophic interactions within the kelp holdfast communities in the Beagle Channel: a biomarker approach"

I'm recruiting a PhD student to start Fall 2021 to join my lab at UC Santa Barbara to work either on coral reefs in Moorea or in CA kelp forests. pls share! oceanrecoveries.com/ourteam cc:Ecological Society @WSN_Secretariat EEB_POC #sacnas #blackinstem #blackineeb #DiversifySTEM #NativeSTEM

On Feb 11 UNESCO Ocean is running an event 'Empowering Women & Girls in the #OceanDecade', in light of #IWD2021 on March 8. The event will explore platforms to increase inclusivity & #diversity in #marinescience, including in peer networks 👉 oceandecade.org/events/180/Mak…

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlInScience! Thank you UNESCO Ocean for this inspiring webinar. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

Very inspirational talk from Griet Neukermans on her career and great tips for young research scientists. It is so nice to be able to attend #VMSD21 even kilometers away across the Atlantic! #VLIZ

It's starting! #IPC2021

So nice to ditch the computer to do something more hands-on! I am building incubation chambers to do respirometry in situ on #kelp. The construction definitely has its challenges, but overall it is a lot of fun :) @UQAR #bluecarbon #kelpforest

I finally got back in the water as part of a scientific diving training with divers from Université Laval and @UQAR-ISMER. The water conditions were a little harsh (2°C, 1m visibility), but after all, it was just part of the fun🙃Kathleen MacGregor @filippof3rrario

An amazing project that combines an immersive VR experience and ocean exploration. This is a great initiative for ocean conservation #oceanprotection #HowistheWater #becomeadolphin #marineconservation #xrmedia #immersivemedia #kickstarter

A more human #academia is what we need. Here is a very well written article by Julieta Vigliano and Julia Jung 🌊 🏳️‍🌈 about #mentalhealth and #emotions in the scientific world.
