Registration is open to become a Letters to a Pre-Scientist pen pal for 2020-2021! prescientist.org/for-scientists… A great opportunity to connect and talk science with a 5th-10th grader via snail mail.

Krill may be the Norwegian word for “small fry,” but their impact is mighty. They play an important role in the biological carbon storage process and food webs of the #SouthernOcean. #ClimateWeekNYC

The first chapter from my PhD has been published! It describes summer krill availability in neighboring Adélie and gentoo penguin foraging areas near Palmer Station, Antarctica. Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible! Rutgers_RUCOOL Palmer LTER doi.org/10.1002/lno.11…

Excited to share our new publication demonstrating low diversity in a major Antarctic phytoplankton group! This resulted from a great collaboration of Palmer LTER folks. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Rutgers Marine and Coastal Sciences @ColetteFeehan @marchetti_lab Carly Moreno US LTER ASLO

Excited to share that I am a 2022 Knauss Fellowship finalist! Looking forward to spending a year in DC learning about how science is used to create policy.

Had an amazing time presenting my work at the MTS/IEEE OCEANS 2021 conference in San Diego this past week! Especially appreciative of Marine Technology Society, IEEE OES, Schmidt Ocean, and Office of Naval Research (ONR) for organizing and funding the student poster competition.

Last week I defended my PhD! Grateful for the opportunities and support I received from Rutgers Marine and Coastal Sciences and Palmer LTER, what a fun 5 1/2 years it’s been!

New paper out this weekend led by Schuyler Nardelli that investigates the many drivers of phytoplankton community composition throughout the austral summer on the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Some insight for changing ice conditions! Open access at doi.org/10.1002/lno.12…
