Iōtorishima what a place! And a very successful expedition! Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) MISE-Lab Timothy James Davis Reimer #activevolcone #CO2 #ClimateChange

Field trip to an uninhabited, volcanic island out of cellphone and wifi range = as exciting as it sounds! #thisishowMISErolls Ravasi's Lab MISE-Lab

MISE had 2 PhD students and 1 MSc student graduate yesterday. Two received the President's Award for outstanding academic achievement, and the other funding from Okinawa Pref for international research. Congrats! #thisishowMISErolls

Our recent paper on abyssal fauna in eastern Australia led by @DrTimOHara is out. Cool finding is that up to 58% of the collected fauna is undescribed. More taxonomic work is needed on these specimens! I am glad to be a part of the team. mbr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Research in the time of COVID. Doing permanent plots for collaboration with James Cant and Maria Beger in 2 m swell was.... swell! Great navigation, buoyancy, and photography practice. #thisishowMISErolls

Meeting of zoantharian genome with collaborators.

That 2020 feeling you get when you dive one of your favorite sites to find it not pristine anymore...

Time for some positive #conservationbiology tweets from Okinawa. How about this massive and healthy Heliopora colony from the east coast? #thisishowMISErolls

When you plan a trip to a remote island and the weather forecast says a typhoon will hit it right in the middle of your time there. Thanks 2020. #thisishowMISEblows

A Life On Our Planet. This should be compulsory viewing for all children and adults alike.

Another future reef? Palythoa and Heliopora having a co-dominance party on Iriomote. #thisishowMISErolls

Megascience calls for megasize. #thisishowMISErolls

Back in the office, and realize the one thing COVID has shut down more than anything is international shipments. We must have more than 10 lots of specimens and science-y stuff that needs to be sent around the world. #thisishowMISErolls
