Ever wonder how to communicate your complex research results in 5 minutes? Me too! Come to my live #OSM2022 session OCO8 at 5 pm today to see if I can do it! 🦪🦪

Annie Schatz likes to study oysters, not eat them. Local oyster gardeners love eating oysters — and community science. Together, they investigated how Virginia #oysters will respond to a changing climate: vaseagrant.org/oyster-communi…

There’s a massive story unfolding in Atlanta, but it’s barely getting any media attention. Right now the city’s forest, a vital site for humans and animals alike, is under attack, and some amazing people are fighting back. Here’s the story. 🧵

First brood of the year! Look at these little swimming empanadas

Day 1 of the high-CO2-Lima conference has been so great! Awesome to hear about international research in OA resilience, best management practices, and fisheries impacts. Can’t wait for more tomorrow!

A dive into biology and Chesapeake Bay for me today at high-CO2-Lima I've greatly expanded my knowledge on lobsters and oysters thanks to awesome talks by @abigailsisti Annie Schatz, Ph.D. (She/Her) Catherine Czajka 👏👏 Virginia Institute of Marine Science

There must be something in the water at Virginia Institute of Marine Science 😉 all these talks have so clearly demonstrated crustacean and mollusk response to #OA and #climatechange. Felt great to not even be a little confused at a biological talk!! Great job @abigailsisti Annie Schatz, Ph.D. (She/Her) Catherine Czajka

Super exciting sharing some preliminary research at my first international conference! high-CO2-Lima has been a great opportunity to network and spend time amongst the greatest minds in the field of #OA & #climatechange! #HighCo2Lima

So much fun having dinner with some friends, family, and colleagues in Peru! The best part of conferences is meeting new cool people every day!

In times of stress, I like to look back at these adorable juvenile horseshoe crabs milling about! Got a chance to see these cuties when I visited the New Jersey Aquaculture Innovation Center ⁦Rutgers University⁩ a few years back 🦀

The U.S. U.S. EPA is planning to announce many job opportunities soon, including positions to advance environmental justice. BUT USA Jobs can be a beast to navigate, so consider tuning in to this webinar on 10/25 for insider tips if you're tempted to apply: usepa.zoomgov.com/webinar/regist…

It's not okay to offer funding where the recipient uses their own money first and is reimbursed later. This puts serious pressure on those in less privileged positions. Many struggle (silently) or lose out completely. Reduce inequity by offering resources up front.

5. make sure GA voters know these two things: A) They need to check their voter registration status NOW. Right-wing ppl are challenging voter registration statuses. Every voter needs to make sure they’re still on the rolls B) They need to VOTE EARLY. Early voting starts Oct 17

Previous REU student greatly enjoyed this program, read about the program below and her experience below!

Gotta love generating data* in your favorite color 🦪👶🏻🥵🧪 (are larval oyster lipid stores affected by #oceanacidifcation and #oceanwarming) *These data were not hurt in the making of this picture

But in Oregon it’s not compostable. We lack industrial composting facilities in the state, it ends up contaminating recycling and home compost. “Bio” plastics are not a solution without the right tools in place. #reduce #microplastics #misinformation OregonDEQ pnwmicroplastics

Students got to put some of what we’ve been learning in my Aquaculture & Sustainability class William & Mary into context by touring Oyster Seed Holdings today with Mike Congrove 🦪🦪. It was a great time!

Just finished the last assay plate of my dissertation 🙌🥳 Not a bad way to head into the holidays. Happy holidays everyone!
