For the past week I have had the privilege of samples these historical leopard seal skulls at the Smithsonian! If you told younger Emily she was going to be doing this…she would have passed out from excitement!!!

Thank you @ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience for telling our story. Antarctic science is more important than ever in today's changing world. We just feel 'gutted' by this huge loss. https://t.co/zSc45m6VA3

Our study on northern elephant seal stress physiology got chosen for #APSselect this month. Congrats to lead author @allliedanorth and coauthors @DanielPCosta2 @GarrettTShipway

[Dr. Sarah Kienle @Sarah_S_Kienle]

Congratulations to my amazing PhD student @EmilySperou on publishing her 1st chapter on everyone's favorite species, #leopardseals!

Spoiler: Female leopard seals are larger, eat higher up on the food chain, and have lower cortisol than males.

@Sarah_S_Kienle @SJforKids @OpenAcademics Amazing!!!! 🦭🥳

[Dr. Sarah Kienle @Sarah_S_Kienle]

I worked with @SJforKids to translate our recent journal article about #leopardseals into kid-friendly language!

Highly recommend this group! It was an awesome experience. Excited to have this out!

Another amazing paper!! 🐟Congrats @PMCharapata 🥳

[Patrick Charapata @PMCharapata]

*New* in ICES Journal of Marine Science.

Using yelloweye rockfish opercula, we assessed environmental and ecological impacts on lifetime trends of female reproduction, stress, and stable isotopes! Open access here: https://t.co/iE9SyWUKL1

In case you missed it: Women are less likely to be credited for their scientific contributions than men. It’s true across multiple fields & at all stages, with important repercussions for career progress. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine #MedTwitter

I'm SUPER excited to share that I'm joining the Biology & Marine Biology Department at UNCW as an assistant professor in January 2024! This is a dream come true, and the perfect place to continue exploring questions about marine wildlife ecology. @UNCW_BaMB @UNCWilmington

[Emily Sperou @EmilySperou]

Come be a part of our amazing team!!!

[Dr. Sarah Kienle @Sarah_S_Kienle]

Exciting news! We are hiring a postdoc with expertise in genetics/omics to join our #NSFfunded project on leopard seals! 🦭

The postdoc will be mentored by @carolewbonin @_HamptonU and be part of a diverse, fun group of researchers!
