@secanno @simondonner @dianethompso @mioconnor Congrats Sara! Well deserved!!

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

The #FreeDonziger team is happy to report that Steven was admitted today to the federal prison in Danbury (CT) after a decision by the Bureau of Prisons.

Today is Day One of the countdown to release. House arrest is over and the ankle bracelet has been removed. Onward.

@TrematodeSquad Yeah! It seems they do it when they got caught out on a low tide. They can also stay like that for quite a while— I’ve taken snails that have been like that for a number of days and put them back in water and they’ve seemed fine!

@secanno This paper might not be totally applicable to your question b/c it doesn't provide a threshold value beyond which the phase shift occurs, but could whole-lake or mesocosm experiments with nutrient enrichment have some relevant examples? https://t.co/FMECIoKEpx

Come for the title:
"Adapting a propane turkey fryer to manipulate temperature in aquatic environments"

Stick around for the acronym:
SAUTE (Seaside Array for Understanding Thermal Effects)

Stay for the fascinating science.

Finally, thank you to @MethodsEcolEvol for working with us to make this the most informative paper and helpful resource for applying this tool across as many fields, disciplines, and systems as possible!

[Graham Brownlee @GrahamBrownlee]

Finally getting around to talking about this, but super excited to share our new method for manipulating temperature in aquatic systems developed by @CassKonecny , myself and Dr. Chris Harley! Check it out with free access here: https://t.co/MZdpexeiRE

[Graham Brownlee @GrahamBrownlee]

Thanks to everyone who helped with the SAUTE system for this and Cass's project @sandraemry @invertebroad and for the support of @HakaiInstitute throughout its use in field experiments and for this paper!

“Walking out on the shore, the first thing that I noticed was the smell,” said @ZoologyUBC marine biologist Chris Harley on studying the die-offs in the tidal zone of B.C. beaches following a record-breaking heat wave. #ExtremeHeat https://t.co/5vpJKNmOBb

[Cassandra Konecny @CassKonecny]

@GrahamBrownlee , Chris Harley, and I had lots of fun in the field designing a few iterations of this system. We are excited to finally present the SAUTE to the world in all of its methodological glory. If you know Chris Harley, then you know he coined that acronym 🤣 Enjoy!

My hats off to @CassKonecny for publishing "Adapting a propane turkey fryer to manipulate temperature in aquatic environments" for their system.... – the Seaside Array for Understanding Thermal Effects (SAUTE).

I AM DYING.

@sea_en_emily @CassKonecny Thank you! Very proud of our silly and fantastic contraption

Let's build #SalmonSafeCities! Read “Creating Safe Cities for Salmon: Exploring How Government Policy Aligns with the Salmon-Safe Urban Standards” - tx to @SFU_Water & Andrea McDonald. Ask @SalmonSafeBC about #sustainable practices + certification. https://t.co/IHMiZ8ugfR

@sea_en_emily That urchin shot looks so cool!

The sunflower sea star is now on the critically endangered list — one step closer to extinction. https://t.co/rSGYhzSA7P

[Dr. Alyssa Gehman @alyssamina]

Groundbreaking study from @OregonState, @Conserve_CA, @HakaiInstitute and over 66 partner institutions finds the sunflower sea star to be Critically Endangered by the @IUCNREDList

Fact check: Pence's claim that hurricanes are not more common was misleading. Atlantic hurricane frequency has not increased, but hurricanes are stronger, intensify faster, have heavier rainfall and higher storm surges, due to climate change.
