MBARI’s @BioinspirLab, led by @KakaniKatija, develops tools to view deep-sea animals in groundbreaking ways.

Bringing the laboratory into the ocean gives the team a close-up look at delicate structures like feeding filters made out of snot. Learn more: https://t.co/KRvqzGxrtb

See below for incredible ongoing work by the @BioinspirLab @MBARI_News to harness the power of AI in processing the overwhelming surplus of marine imagery currently in que, collected by instrumentation such as AUVs, ROVs, drop cams, landers, and cabled observatories:⬇️

Album covers are totally a thing on the Falkor. 🤣 #emofish @BioinspirLab @MBARI_News @SchmidtOcean 📷: @jovellephoto

[Dr. Kakani Katija @KakaniKatija]

Started opening up the @BioinspirLab data vault as well. Can't wait to share content over on mast*don in the New Year!

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

Professors are up to 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD--and this rate nearly doubles at prestigious universities https://t.co/RmWXoGl2ab

A third of faculty at top-ranked universities report that their parent has a PhD 30% versus 19% at lower-ranked institutions.

[Dr. Kakani Katija @KakaniKatija]

New @MBARI_News website just dropped! Check it out. I need to update our @BioinspirLab pages still, but it is a massive improvement. Huge kudos 👏🏽 to the Comms team @susanvonthun @HeidiCullen et al!

[Corinne Bassin @CoffeeBagelData]

I had a great opportunity to talk about why I think @FathomNet is important to ocean research, how exciting the work being done by @KakaniKatija and the @BioinspirLab is, and how @SchmidtOcean is leveraging it and collaborating
