Hi Fronds!
After almost 10 months into my PhD program and passing a big milestone, I'm finally back full time to continue @SPORA_program this very Summer in Baja, MX! But before taking off, I had to make some time to discover the underwater world of Monterey Bay.
Stay tuned🌊

Woot woot to @SarahMastroni for participating in this timely worldwide discussion "Knowledge gaps remain that hinder our collective ability to make well-informed decisions about the feasibility, suitability, and risks of this approach""

[Ocean Visions @Ocean_Visions]

What role might seaweed play in addressing the #climatecrisis? Developed with partner @MBARI_News, our new guidelines for research will help accelerate the safe and thorough science we need to make informed decisions about its use. https://t.co/X9svQxSgbh #OceanClimateAction
