If you are interested in how eddies interact with your GoM study area and species of interest, please check out our GitHub! https://t.co/KDkJk8U4kt and the associated manuscript! https://t.co/zezOxId8VV

I hope they can be great resources!

@DrDanHolstein @seascapelab1 @FulbrightPrgrm Thank you! @DrDanHolstein is equally deserving of the congratulations! He grew a lab in a new setting balancing several difficult research endeavors, while raising a young family during a pandemic. This accomplishment is certainly one of many to come for the @seascapelab1

Impressive O. faveolata spawn at Horseshoe Reef in Key Largo last night! These colonies spawned a full hour later than usual (~midnight to 1 am), which was a surprise. Always such a lovely sight to witness!

@minakimes Your LT should stop CROSSing the line too early

And so it begins! Enjoy five rounds of cell division by this tenacious coral embryo from last night! Video speed 1000x, the Great Star Coral Montastraea cavernosa⭐️🤩#CarmabiCoral

All smiles here because we have ACER colonies in our land based nursery! Even though these corals will be returned to the ocean in a few short weeks, we are learning all about their reproductive cycles #coralreproduction #research #science #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

If you’re at #ICRS2022 and want to learn how eddies can help coral larvae make it back to reefs, come to my talk! 11:45 tomorrow (Wed) Danzig #dispersal #FlowerGardenBanks

This might be too many confidence intervals #RStudio

Pre-Covid was a much simpler time

Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area.

@average_kay All the Glass Animals singles from the upcoming album are 🔥

Huge thanks to @DrDanHolstein and the @seascapelab1 for the inspiration, patience, and support throughout this process

I've seen a few versions this today. While it's very exciting news and could be very beneficial, it's important to convey what the scientists intended. In this case, using "may" or "could" is probably more accurate than using "will" #SciComm #Corals

Do yourself a favor and read the article; it is hysterical

[Dan Baldassarre @evornithology]

FOLKS. We did it. We wore them down. WE WON. This random, sketchy, blatant scam of a predatory journal decided to publish my magnum opus FOR FREE. You can now find the final, published version in all it's glory here: https://t.co/1AEYS6G2Lv

Another day, another close encounter with a nurse shark swimming by the CCC like a boss 😎🔮🦈 #coralcitycamera #nurseshark #ginglymostomacirratum

Finally got Parcels to work in 3D!

Sometimes you just gotta stop and soak up the Sun’s glitter lines dancing on the sea floor #coralcitycamera

[Coral City Camera @CoralCityCamera]

When cruise ships depart they displace tons of water, leading to unnaturally strong currents. Last week we managed to record the whole hydrodynamic experience when a ship left to sea. To say conditions around the CCC are anthropogenic is quite an understatement! #coralcitycamera

[Ben Limer @Benjamin_Limer]

Feels great to finally get meaningless output from a custom Lagrangian particle simulator script, now if only I could get it to work in 3D... #Python #PARCELS
