Awesome to share our Shedd Research identifying heat-tolerant #corals for reef restoration with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes! #CBASS

A big thank you to Juli Berwald for talking all things Cnidaria this afternoon to my students at the University of Dallas. If you haven't picked up her books - Spineless and Life on the Rocks - I highly recommend them!

New publication out today! A big, big shout out to all of my collaborators (and there were many) and in particular my co-first authors! cambridge.org/core/journals/…

I have a list of some Ecology and Evolutionary Biology REU/other internships for undergraduates for this upcoming summer feel free to share with other students docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

What the hell. I cannot believe those F%$&kers have now also messed with science. I wonder if there is any other way on top of financial that the global science community can help? Can we also offer -80 space? Collaborations to continue projects?

Just Published! We developed exciting new technology that documented, for the first time, live birth in wild sharks! Together with Sulikowski Lab & collaborator Lotek , read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… / #sharks #sciencetwitter #marinebiology - please retweet

SO proud of one of my former students who is flying high! I love being able to prepare undergraduate students for their next steps like this.

Please join us at 12PM tomorrow for a #PSUBiologySeminar, presented by Deanna Soper with a talk titled "A novel schistosome species hosted by Planorbella (Helisoma) trivolvis is the most widespread swimmer’s itch-causing parasite in Michigan inland lakes"! buff.ly/3FAdQDL

This is such a great course. I wish I could take. Instructors are super good. Class is super fun.

This is why I teach in the field. news.udallas.edu/03-30-23-Magic…

Tenured and promoted!

Proud to call Curt Lively my Ph.D. advisor! Way to go Curt!

Spots are still available for our graduate evolution workshop Mountain Lake Bio St from Jul 29-Aug 5. Funding from @ASNAmNat means ASN student members have the chance to get FREE registration! Please share and reach out if you have questions.

⁦Erinn Muller⁩ & I are hiring a staff biologist to work with us in the Coral Health & Disease Program at Mote! We’re looking for an individual with a Masters degree and demonstrated #Rstats skills. Applications due June 30th. mote.org/about-us/emplo…

Last week I was in the Florida Keys at Mote Marine Lab field stations working with my research student and fellow colleagues including @in_deep_oceans on an experiment! It was fun and productive all at the same time!

I am thrilled that the Mydlarz Lab The Mydlarz Lab @utarlington is recruiting graduate students to study cnidarian immunity. We have jellyfish and coral systems. themydlarzlab.com Jan '24 and Fall '24 admissions available. 5 years funding.

In NOLA at #OSM24 to present my poster on how to engage undergraduate research and education with deep-sea science. See me at the poster session tomorrow night! Super excited to talk ocean science all week!

Excited to be starting my lab at KU Molecular Biosciences this summer! Be on the lookout for whatever tweets are called now about positions and new research in the Beck Lab.

Congratulations to Soper Lab members Monique Bedolla and Abigail Fritz for their award winning presentations yesterday at the UD Undergraduate Research Symposium. Abigail was awarded 2nd and Monique 3rd among 16 oral presentations.

Moving on up. bsky.app/profile/deanna…
