Excited to share that I've recently started my tenure as a member of the IOC @unesco.org Global Ocean Oxygen Network (#GO2NE) Expert Working Group!

I am honored to be a part of this group and look forward to all our work on the Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) 🌊 .

NSF downsizes summer research program for undergraduates Many participants are from groups underrepresented in science

My REU in 2011 helped me understand I had a path in research. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring several REU’s, many of whom have gone onto grad school or scientific careers. The gutting of these programs will have a devastating impact for many years.

Coral Community Composition Linked to Hypoxia Exposure Written Summary: Warming and decreasing oxygen physiologically stress tropical corals, but evidence of how these stressors impact coral community composition remain circumstantial. We find the durati....

For my first post- a new paper showing how tiny blips of nightly low oxygen - just 6 hours at a time- may have the potential to shape coral reef communities, leading to less diverse, lawn-like states!

Sorry if this has already been done but I’m starting to compile some starter packs for coral folks on here… part one is linked below, but if you want to be added to part two, post here!!! (And please amplify)

🪸🦠🧪

Many of the (great) starter packs focus on faculty in different fields. In an effort to help #EarlyCareerResearchers in #marine biology, ecology, evolution, & related fields (re-)connect, here is a list of ECRs. Please give them a follow (and reply to be added or suggest people). go.bsky.app/KhWvT4u

How is massive #coral growth impacted by highly variable dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature gradients across a #seagrass bed? 🪸🌡️🫧

Read our new publication out today in PLOS ONE to find out how these highly variable environments can serve as natural laboratories!

Looking forward to sharing the preliminary results from the past year of my postdoc with the Smithsonian Marine Station at #OSM24!

Stop by Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry poster 788 tomorrow from 4-6pm to learn more about multi-stressor impacts of deoxygenation on Caribbean corals.
