NSF Postdoc Fellow studying nutritional symbioses with stable isotopes and transcriptomics: corals, clams, trees, lichens and more! She/her. All tweets my own.

Our (open access) paper in @ScienceAdvances is out! We use a new application of SIA to describe coral trophic niches and show heterotrophic corals are more bleaching resistant

New paper out in Methods in E&E - we present HERS: Host Evaluation: Reliance on Symbionts, an index that assess mixotrophy using bulk stable isotope values of hosts (like corals🪸) and mutualistic symbionts (like Symbiodiniaceae🦠).

Pons et al. introduce , Reliance on Symbionts (HERS), a new metric for quantifying nutrient exchange in nutritional mutualisms. Read more here 👇

Come work with me! I am seeking a PhD student and Research assistant to work on a project investigating the nutritional dynamics of corals in Hong Kong. More info: https://t.co/CnIvmUL8zm

@coraloha Ahhh thank you so much! Congrats on returning to Hawaii and excited to see you're also working both underwater and on land - we should compare notes and maybe talk plants sometime🌱

Hello #Evol2023 -- I am preparing to recruit 2 postdocs and 1 lab technician in the next year. More details coming soon (will ads post here), but I wanted to get the word out! See image below for details. Also see our website https://t.co/5h15T6yqE2 & email me if interested

[Dr. Inga Conti-Jerpe @IngaContiJerpe]

Grateful to be a part of this community, even if nothing I study has a backbone!

[Dr. Inga Conti-Jerpe @IngaContiJerpe]

@JDReimer @PeerJLife I reviewed this as well! Glad to see it out!

[Arthur Chung @arthurcyc]

It is finally published! Through UVC we found 31 new reef fish records in Hong Kong. None of these records were found in any established marine parks/reserve areas, implying more protected areas are need to safeguard yet to be known biodiversity.

When 48,000 UAW Academic Workers go on strike on Monday, Nov 14, senate faculty at the University of California have a legally-protected right under the Higher Education Employment Relations Act (HEERA) to respect the picket line. Some reasons + resources for showing solidarity:

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

We, the Postdocs, Academic Researchers, Academic Student Employees, & Graduate Student Researchers at UC announce a multi-unit strike starting November 14.
United with @sruuaw & @uaw2865 we will make
@UofCalifornia stop their unlawful conduct & bargain in good faith.

Super cool work on the maintenance of coral symbiosis from @symbio_shelby

[Shelby @symbio_shelby]

#CORAL #SYMBIOSIS. For stable #mutualisms, hosts need ways to reg their symbionts & avoid bad ones. Still figuring this out in 🪸 but here’s a clue - Nutrient access is dependent on which and how many symbionts they host. https://t.co/twRvZWc4W6 @MicrobiomeJ @SpringerNature

@sPuntinGi led this incredible review on coral models - so excited to see this come out!

Hale knew what was up back in 1974: "No amount of discussion or experimentation can fully communicate the enormous success of symbiosis in nature." From The Biology of Lichens 🍄🦠

[Dr. Inga Conti-Jerpe @IngaContiJerpe]

Need to test some methods so I collected some lichens from fallen tree branches on campus. So many stunning species on this smol branch 🍄🦠

[Dr. Inga Conti-Jerpe @IngaContiJerpe]

@drmanateena Oh nooo! Sorry to hear, hope you find a solution (relatively) quickly and that your symptoms aren't too bad!
