#wisenight #greatbarrierreef #climatechange Check out this podcast by Séverine Fourdrilis, a Belgian molecular biologist👩‍🔬: bit.ly/3hFQ39F (French only). Her work on the genetic response🔬🧬 of corals to ocean warming will bring her to 🇦🇺 Australia in the near future.

Day two of #WiseNight2021 is in full swing, come & find us at the Planetarium & Dinosmuseum in Brussels for a day full of science & fun activities 🦖 🪐 Discover the wonders of land & space science together with over 30 researchers here 🎉 WiseNight.eu to subscribe

Welcome to Séverine Séverine Fourdrilis to SeaSim. Marie Curie Fellow and finally in Australia to work on CRISPR in corals with Australian Institute of Marine Science Phillip Cleves and @ird_nc. First coral babies in the tank - many more to come

I wish a splendid 2022 to all of you, to science and to planet Earth :-)

Who is ready for coral spawning? 🙋‍♀️Most species on the GBR spawn in summer, but a few species go against the grain, spawning in autumn. These Acropora digitifera colonies are ready to go after the Feb full moon! Australian Institute of Marine Science SeaSim #RRAP

The last sentence in the latest #IPCC report sums it all. Doesn’t it?

Join us! We have 2⃣ exciting opportunities available based at our Townsville HQ: 🤿#RRAP Field Technician 🤿Benthic Ecologist – Long-term Ecological Monitoring Visit aims.gov.au/employment for more details. Applications close 31 March 2022.

Thank you to the 🇧🇪 Belgian Ambassador in Canberra for inviting me to his Great Barrier Reef Luncheon. Coral science told the guests - 🇦🇺 Heritage group at DAWE, 🇪🇺 EU delegate for Energy Environment Oceans, 🇷🇺 Russian Ambassador - about #coralgenetics and #fightingclimatechange

Delighted to provide science-based knowledge to the 🇧🇪Ministry of Foreign Affairs 🇧🇪 Belgium MFA and UNESCO UNESCO[at]Vlaanderen. Discussing the potential listing of the Great Barrier Reef as endangered is definitely complex. What is your opinion? Please share with me! #scienceduty #helptheGBR

“At least we had an asteroid. What’s your excuse?” We can’t ignore #ClimateChange any longer. Unless we end the excuses, we’ll be another species facing extinction. On #AsteroidDay, let's remember Frankie The Dino's message to protect our only home 🌍 and #DontChooseExtinction.

Very interesting conversation on assisted evolution for the future of corals 🏝🧬 therobertsinstituteofart.com/programme/podc…

Breeding Corals for the Great Barrier Reef Achieves First Out-of-Season Spawning Event Ever 🎉goodnewsnetwork.org/scientists-bre…

Doing some urchin spawns at SeaSim this morning to get some fertilised gametes for Séverine Fourdrilis to practice her micro injection ahead of spawning. Missed these little guys 👶🥚 #phd #seaurchin #marinebiology

What is gene editing in corals 🧬🪸? A video for kids ! (in French) 📣The mic gave up the ghost during the recording, and then I was off to Australia - 15000 km away for the camerawoman - so turn up the volume and enjoy! youtu.be/WPO3zZuwhZ0?si…

These adorable little fish are Yellow Boxfish also known as Ostracion cubicus! Adorable as juveniles, they go some large changes as they mature. We dare you to look up their adult form! Photo credits to J. Thorogood, submitted for the ACRS photo comp in 2022.

Come to check my poster out ECRS 2024 on CRISPR gene Editing in corals ! Looking forward to exciting discussions ! A research with Phillip Cleves Veronique Berteaux-Lecellier BERTEAUX-LECELLIER Line K Bay
