I'm a Marine Biologist who specializes in biological Invasions and parasites. Follow me in the lab and the field to see who I'm studying!

@Gobblers_n_Fins What is the most common incorrect piece of shark information out there

This freshwater #crayfish crawled out of his "home" (aka the brick attached to one of our #FoulingProject panels in the San Francisco Delta) to wish us some holiday cheer!

and now, perhaps the most vital work I will ever do: using colordistance to objectively prove which David Bowie outfit most closely matches a given sea slug. congratulations to ceratosoma trilobatum, the coral family of colors, and also to me, for peaking early

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

I'll miss you too!!!@

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Great opportunity and great fun!

What's a better white elephant gift than a broken spaceship or an angry dolphin? Nothing. That's what. Find out about the elephant in the room after you call a seal cute or blow up a death star at this month's #NerdNite #bethereandbesquare 🐬💫

@ReneeHalloran I don't think so, but we can do a Skype session? Unless I can figure out a live feed :-)

So this is happening...

[SERC Marine Invasions Research Lab @SERCinvasions]

Here at SERC we try to make all our events single-use plastic free, and many of us are participating in #NoStrawNovember! Plastics are a big problem in the ocean, some #invasivespecies can even raft on floating trash to new places. Check out #InvasionsFlotilla for more details!

A rocky marsh, and a green crab that doesn't know how to let go! Thanks @ICMB2018 for a great field trip! #Science

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

@ReneeHalloran I agree? It is always interesting.

[Amy E. Fowler @Fowler_Lab]

Great talk by @AMHBlakeslee @ICMB2018 on differential experimental parasite infection prevalences in native and invasive populations of green crabs.

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Can #parasites in M. leidyi control population levels? Tjaša Kogovšek is telling us all about it at #ICMB2018

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Last day of #ICMB2018 kicked off with Chad Hewitt. Great talk about Marine Biosecurity!

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Can L. obtusata react to a predator cue? Ask @ReneeHalloran here at #ICMB2018

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Hey @ICMB2018, day one of the conference was fantastic! I'm sure day two will be just as great! #ICMB2018 #science

[SERC Marine Invasions Research Lab @SERCinvasions]

Have YOU seen a Chinese Mitten Crab? We are searching the US coasts and need #CitizenScience volunteers to help us find this #InvasiveSpecies! 🔎🌊 Help us get the word out! #FindMittenCrabs 🦀 https://t.co/bCS8ZeEoMd

[Rebecca Barnard @InvadingScience]

Some are beautiful inverts which is no surprise since #invertsrule

The course will be awesome and the atmosphere couldn't be better. If you are thinking about it- don't. Just do it https://t.co/xgOfn68txB
