@THR Surprised you’re backing this letter, @GazaFFlotilla . It literally starts by demanding Hamas release the hostages, and supports a Palestinian state per UN resolutions (not “river to sea”) So… are you guys finally moving past the flat bumper-sticker version of this conflict?

@loamyclay @LegoLostAtSea you're probably a geologist🙃

[Shai Oron @OronShai]

@m_tuberculosis1 @LegoLostAtSea No, there are "all weather" types that dissolve very slowly.

New from #RSOS: Shallow water #foraminifera from Niue and Beveridge Reef (South Pacific): insights into ecological significance and ecosystem integrity. Read the full paper: https://t.co/UfHkdfDnmo @OronShai @Enric_Sala @goodmanbeverly

[Shai Oron @OronShai]

The first study surveying the biodiversity of foraminifera at Niue and Beveridge Reef in the South Pacific, as part of @NG_PristineSeas Program campaign. https://t.co/pLBZ4jKzNK

@OrlandoTaxus @Partisangirl But doing this mirrors the actions of our extreme right-wing nationalists. You and Syrian girl are made of the same material as them. Your kind is prevailing on both sides. Consequently, we have the most extreme government ever and the most brutal terror attacks ever. Darkness.

[Shai Oron @OronShai]

@OrlandoTaxus @Partisangirl What’s your point? The injustice? Yes, it exists. I can also post here 1000 examples of Israelis (Jews, Muslims, and Christians, including children and the elderly) who were murdered in terror attacks by Palestinians over the years to illustrate 'a point'.

In 2020 a monster storm hit the #RedSea's Gulf of Aqaba-Eilat; a new study documents how the massive waves damaged #coral & altered the seascape

@iui_eilat Well, it’s behind the wave. This is the dive center 🙃.

🌊Intense storm in 2020 caused severe shoreline damage in the Gulf of Aqaba-Eilat. Recent observations reveal fascinating changes along Eilat's beach. @dakkaynak @goodmanbeverly @CharneySchoolMS @iui_eilat @ESAEcosphere @UofHaifa

Let's protect and preserve our precious marine ecosystems! 🌍💙

This case highlights the cumulative and significant impact of storms on coral communities and the very structure of coral reefs themselves.

@PonnetSari Found him!

[Shai Oron @OronShai]

Get this: It's 1867. A scientist travels to Seychelles. Collects foraminifera, tries to preserve them in wine and then losses them (?). Finds a sample that was not in wine and gives to a friend that comes up with some ID’s. Publishes it. I love this guy!

Foraminifers have never been studied here, and our results will advance the understanding of community structure, biogeography, and dispersal mechanisms of this key bioindicators.

First glance - Benthic Foraminifera from Pristine Seas Southern Seychelles collection (work is progress). Our intern @PonnetSari is working on material from the Aldabra group. @goodmanbeverly @NG_PristineSeas @UofHaifa @iui_eilat @CharneySchoolMS @Enric_Sala

@PonnetSari @goodmanbeverly @NG_PristineSeas @UofHaifa @iui_eilat @CharneySchoolMS @Enric_Sala The Aldabra Group (Aldabra Atoll, Assumption Island, Cosmoledo Atoll and Astove Atoll) lies in the remote southwest corner of the Seychelles Archipelago and harbors some of the least impacted coral reefs in the region.
