I only recruit prospective PhD students that have R01s

Just back from a great week with the KAUST #KRRI team in the northern Red Sea - only had a few minutes in the water but what we did see was stunning. Thrilled to see more!

Sponges may be one of the most "primitive" multicellular animals, but their mechanisms for filter feeding are a wonder to behold. Here's an appreciation post for their critical contributions to reef ecology. Read more about these beauties at schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-pos…

It's a long #Monday morning. Here's a baby sea turtle I photographed last summer in the Red Sea. 🐢

Great to see such innovative technologies being developed here in Saudi by one of our key scientific partners, KAUST. #WorldWaterDay

I saw this crazy Red Sea troll snot a long time ago and never figured out exactly what it is. Some kind of sponge? Any ideas? #sciencetwitter #sponges #underwaterphotography

Evening shift begins to try to catch #coralspawning at #Shushah in the northern #RedSea - a real privilege to work in such a special place Red Sea Research Center, KAUST

Huge congratulations to Dr Robin Francis for the successful defense of her dissertation on reproductive ecology and dispersal ecology of two coral reef fishes 🍾 It has been a privilege 🙏 Robin Francis BU Biology BU_MarineProgram

Finally - mass synchronized #coralspawning at #Shushah #RedSea #KRRI Pedro Henrique bang-on full moon - started early with 1 sp. but then kicked off collectively late evening. Incredible to see here for the first time. More to come as we refine timings/species. 📷 Alex Stead

Big couple of nights with the team at Shushah Island - finally, the corals spawned!

Just a pipe dream. #fishpuns From our KAUST expedition in the Gulf of Aqaba 🪸
