My second PhD data chapter is published 🎉 🌱We looked at how herbivores (🐢🐟🦞) can structure a subtropical #seagrass meadow in the GBR 🐢We found that green turtles/dugongs were structuring the seagrass here and they had a big impact on the meadow 📰doi.org/10.1007/s12237…

This publication sure struck a nerve. Sure I had more male mentors in academic career, but there were SO FEW women in academia overall. Since then I’ve found that my female professional relationships are the ones I rely on to get sh*t done.

And while we are talking about representation... #diversitymatters

That’s a shameful and petty response from someone so lauded. #diversitymatters

Why Fund Managers Started Worrying About Biodiversity: The destruction of the planet’s biodiversity poses huge economic risks. That realization is bringing biodiversity the same kind of attention among investors that has been building around climate. bloom.bg/2IYsSsv

Beautiful article on the value of seagrass ecosystems with incredible photographs by Shane Gross smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

“Seagrasses are the forgotten ecosystem,” Ronald Jumeau, a United Nations representative from the Republic of Seychelles, writes in a 2020 U.N. report. sciencetimes.com/articles/28322… #seagrass #climatechange

A green recovery for Singapore needs to be both climate and biodiversity inclusive. All too often green initiatives leave out the biodiversity factor; carbon neutral ≠ biodiversity neutral. #biodiversitymatters

Seagrass restoration and transplantation gets a bad rep. So here’s a success story to share #habitatrestoration #seagrass

Once decimated by disease, eelgrass is now recovering after a decades-long restoration in Virginia. Since it's returned the water is clearer, wildlife has returned & carbon & nitrogen sequestration rates are back at levels seen in undisturbed ecosystems. bit.ly/2NR1kYL

Pretty sure that that's a #Seagrass meadow on the cover of the 2021 Conservation Intl calendar. Is this the year we #showseagrasssomelove ? 😏

I did a magazine thing and now #seagrass is featured in Harper's BAZAAR (and no, not as a woven basket) harpersbazaar.com.sg/gallery/bazaar… #sustainability #naturebasedsolutions

This analogy hits the nail on the head. Academia is broken and surely the best and the brightest in it can come up with a better system? Or are we happy to keep up the exploitation so those at the top stay well-fed and watered? #AcademicTwitter #academiaisbroken

Chek Jawa is my favourite Seagrass habitat in SG. The end bit about managing ecological resilience is key. Thanks Clara Lee Wa for the fun interview! channelnewsasia.com/watch/balance-…

New paper out with Pimchanok Buapet and Yan Xiang! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #seagrass #resilience

Dear friends, please read this paper. It will be the topic of conversation when I next see you. Best regards, Siti #science #seagrass #Restoration

It’s only #NaturePositive if it delivers measurable net positive outcomes against a fixed historical baseline. Otherwise, it’s just #toxicnaturepositivity.

The climate crisis is pushing global temperatures 'off the chart’. Unprecedented heat waves are hitting the Mediterranean Sea, a marine biodiversity hotspot (thanks to Posidonia 😉). 'Seagrasses in the Anthropocene' is the theme of the next #isbw15. See you all in Napoli!

An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal. Thermal stress from
