Lab of Shawn Arellano, @WWU Associate Professor and @SPMC Scientist. Studying the life, behavior, and movements of larvae nearshore and in the deep sea.

Our paper is out this week about the incredible impacts of the Hunga eruption on deep-sea hydrothermal vent communities.

@melissajbetters I saw you on the list!! Along with @LarvalLab member Michelle! Excited to see you there!

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

@profcgarza @BioOce I'd like to suggest not making cruel comments to any presenter, at any stage, ever.

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

@SymbiosisRox @dexterity_no Obviously, I meant magnets

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

@SymbiosisRox @dexterity_no Love it!! I made mine all into magenta so I can move them all around on my door 😍

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

The Larval Lab @WWU_SPMC is so proud of @dexterity_no for his hard work and well-earned accomplishments!! We will miss you when you leave, but we are so excited for your next steps as an #NSFGRFP! #NSFFunded @WWUResearch @WWU

I have been selected for the 2023 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship!!!!!! This will allow me to pursue a master’s starting this fall with comfort!

The long nights and tears I spent in the middle of a research cruise writing this application were well worth it!

Loving the new @LarvalLab icon? Wishing you had it as a sticker?? Now you can! @LarvalLab member @dexterity_no has taken inspiration from his work in our lab to develop these awesome larvae stickers! We ❤️ them!!!

[Dexter Davis @dexterity_no]

Everyone needs more #larvae in their life! I just finished digitizing 31 larval (and juvenile) types and made them available as stickers. These were inspired by plankton sorting on research cruises in the Gulf of Mexico studying cold seeps.

Happy Larvalentine’s Day!

Boxes of chocolates? Bouquets of roses? No. Nothing compares to the gift of larvae and their beauty.

Here are some of our favorite larval photos taken for our #SALTLarvae project.

Cruise by Numbers of our #biofilms4larvae cruise aboard the @RVAtlantis.

An incredible international effort to study the vents at the EPR was a success!

Can’t wait to return next year and do it again!

New blog post! Come learn about the worms that we encountered at the East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vents!

Some more time-lapses of the EPR showing off the work we did and our incredible study sites!

Thanks again to Dan Fornari’s MISO camera stills and a python script by Dr. Lauren Dykman!

Congratulations to 12 new Alvin divers on our #biofilms4larvae cruise, including three members of the Larval Lab: Vanessa, Tanika, and Wyatt!

Thank you for your hard work as aquanauts and a successful cruise!

Merry Shipmas! Science didn’t stop for the holidays but we made sure to make it festive!

Thank you to the scientists and crew aboard @RVAtlantis for great food and events, making this a Christmas to remember!

‘Tis the season! Spawning season! So cool to see Riftia pachyptila releasing gametes at Tica in the EPR! #biofilms4larvae

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

New blog post! Come learn about inactive vents, how we’re studying them and the life we’re finding! https://t.co/NUphR2AfDO

@KakaniKatija Hey! When are we going to do this??? Come back out with us in a year??

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

Do you love larvae & going to sea? I'm looking for a #Postdoc on a project about larval settlement & biofilms at hydrothermal vents. https://t.co/n2yDdpHnRX

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

@HydroGeoThermal The camera is mounted to the brow of the DSV Alvin.

[Shawn Arellano @LarvalLab]

A few time-lapses of the East Pacific Rise using Dan Fornari’s MISO camera stills and a python script by Dr. Lauren Dykman!

Crab fights and Riftia bloops! So much activity down here, even on the inactive vents.
