Thrilled for today’s #LatinoConservationWeek #AquaEsVida theme. Originally from East L.A. I’m a soon to be associate dean for DEI UW College of the Environment & professor UW SAFS who uses drones to study the ocean & introduce students to the marine environment.

Hi Twitter friends! Comment below if you will be at the #MMM6 conference next week in Cartagena! Would love to connect. #MangrovesAreAwesome MMM6 - Colombia

Job in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA: a project I'm part of is hiring a field technician to do marine (intertidal, subtidal) eDNA sampling along the California Coast. can be part- or full-time for up to several years. please reach out with questions! careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psp/ucsb/EMPLO…

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

The air quality wasn’t great for our quarterly Water Quality Sampling at the Virginia Coast Reserve LTER yesterday, but there were some pretty stellar crews out on the bays!

Join us in congratulating and welcoming the NEW DR. Burgess (Murry Burgess, PhD), our stellar Field Inclusive co-founder who defended her dissertation today!! 🙌🏽 She’s on her way to doing great things, and is paving the way for others! Congratulations Murry. 🎊

Ever wonder what a boating prop scar looks like in a #seagrass meadow? This is the reason Virginia Coast Reserve LTER researchers are often seen “putting” slowly throughout the meadows at low tide to avoid harming the seagrass.

2+ years taking the same route to my lab, speaking to the same person each time. Today they gave me a heads up that I’ll be getting a work order to dump their waste….once I led the convo towards them realizing I’m a PI, there was no apology…just backtracking. #BlackInSTEM 🤷🏾‍♂️

Congrats Rachel Smith - our 2nd place winner for the ESA Restoration early career publication award! Rachel studies the loss and recovery dynamics of coastal foundation species to better understand how to restore and manage coasts. Check out the winning paper: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I made a post for my Instagram about graduate research fellowships in marine science (and other fields) and thought I might as well post here too since it’s scholarship season! Hopefully it’s helpful to someone 🌊

Fellow #ESA2023 attendees! Hope to see you at my talks: Tues 8/8 at 1:15pm on GxE interactions of marsh grasses migrating with sea-level rise bit.ly/3qinyGD and Thurs 8/10 12pm on making field work safer for trans ecologists! bit.ly/47aHKeh

Almost everybody answers this incorrectly in my opinion. They give a single answer like in math instead of a range of answers like in statistics. That’s why statistical thinking is better than math thinking when it comes to real life problems.

Congratulations to Rachel Smith on recognition by ESA Restoration for her excellent research on #oyster #restoration #ecology!

Watching with concern for our Andrews Forest colleagues, their science, and these precious ecosystems…
