You know it’s time to get back out in the field when your newest grad student didn’t realize you actually had field clothes 🤣 Here’s to a reminder about the amazing ecosystems we get to work in!!! #outofoffice #dayinthescilife

What a privilege to work with great teams mates to study plastics along the coast of Sweden! #microplastics #plasticpollution #dayinthescilife

It’s such a pleasure to work with this amazing team studying plastic pollution in Sweden! We hope to learn more about the impact of humans on this issue. #imbrsea #dayinthescilife #plasticpollution

I am excited to be with this amazing group studying microplastics found at beaches near Tjarno, Sweden! #dayinthescilife #microplastics #Sweden #IMBRSea

This year marks 17 years of coring in Narragansett Bay by Fulweiler Lab ! I’ve been so proud to be able to be part of this project! #nitrogen #climatechange #wehaveanitrogenfixation #dayinthescilife

I’m excited to say that as of this week, I have officially begun my graduate studies in marine science through IMBRSea where I will be studying Marine Biological Resources with a concentration in conservation! #dayinthescilife

I think I now have the coolest menorah in the world, thanks to Dr. Katy Croff Bell. Octopus marine menorah = genius! Thank you so much Katy, and Happy Chanukkah everyone! 🐙 🕎 🥰 #dayinthescilife #octopusmenorah #HappyHanukkah

You gotta admire youth and enthusiasm. Especially when it charges into a flock smelly birds for 20 mg of feathers. #dayinthescilife

When the #RotjanLab goes underwater for lab meeting, there are coral reefs, a homemade jellyfish, cuddly plush sharks, pet lizards (?), and of course: Brian RC Kennedy, the blobfish. #DayInTheSciLife BU Biology BU_MarineProgram

found yoga pants in the back of my drawer I had forgotten about. Ate chocolate cookies for breakfast. this day is looking up. #QuarantineLife #WFH #dayinthescilife Dr. Rebecca Barnes (she/her) 🏳️‍🌈🏞️💦⚛️ Silvia Newell @subsurface_life Dr. Sarah W. Davies Dr. Amanda Vieillard Dr. Joanna C Carey

Meanwhile, somewhere in the universe, the #RotjanLab met up for lab meeting. Space: the ultimate place for social distancing. #DayInTheSciLife BU_MarineProgram BU Biology Also note: Brian RC Kennedy has an outfit for everything. :-)

Dude! This week, the #RotjanLab went back in time to the 1980s. So rad! BU Biology BU_MarineProgram #dayinthescilife

This week, the #RotjanLab decided to virtually meet in France for lab meeting. It was exactly the mental vacation we all needed after a tough week :-) ⁦BU_MarineProgram⁩ ⁦BU Biology⁩ #dayinthescilife #covid19

Major congratulations to Caroline Fleming (she/her) who was awarded an #NSFGRFP, and to Jacob Jaskiel who was awarded an honorable mention! So proud of you both! So well-deserved!! Yahoo!! BU Biology BU_MarineProgram #DayInTheSciLife #RotjanLab

The #RotjanLab is having themed lab meetings on zoom. This week: skiing theme! ⁦Kelsie Garretson⁩ was much happier when she found her hat :-) #dayinthescilife ⁦BU_MarineProgram⁩ ⁦BU Biology⁩ #covid19 #coronavirus

If I have to homeschool we can learn together. #dayinthescilife

Thoughts from day 2 of #SocialDistancing : My cat snores REALLY loud. Is rewarding myself for completing tasks with leftover birthday cake a bad strategy? Coding alone (when I can’t just bother officemates about my errors) stinks... #DayInTheSciLife
