The Johnson Lab at CU Boulder is recruiting a PhD student in aquatic disease ecology for Fall 2025; see link for more deets (I’ve heard the other PhD student in the lab is pretty cool 😉) https://t.co/mxgHQPOgCK

Defending my master’s thesis next week 😳🫣😮 DM if you’d like a zoom link! 🦪🌊🦠

Had a lovely time at the @AmSocParasit conference this weekend presenting my master’s work, admiring parasites, and exploring Denver 🦠🤩

Photo recap of the last few weeks: annual seminar presentation, VA SEA K-12 Lesson Plan Expo, co-teaching a high school class about PCR, and (finally) wrapping up my sampling for my master’s thesis :) On the home stretch!

Made it to @SBRoscoff !! What a beautiful place to spend the next four months researching Perkinsus spp. life cycles 🤩 @ChateaubriandUS

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

And to top it all off, on the last day of #vimsmsci552 we planted 20,000 geoduck seeds!!

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

Yesterday we visited @chelseagems where we got to see geoducks doing their thing 💦 (aka best day ever) #vimsmsci552

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

I take it back, today was the best day ever @taylorshellfish

[Mara Walters @marwalters22]

Day 3 of #vimsmsci552 brought more great conversations and insights from two very different #shellfish hatcheries - the @HatfieldMSC Molluscan Broodstock Program & the Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery!
🦪 Fun Fact: Whiskey Creek was the first hatchery on the West Coast! 🦪

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

First two days of @VIMS_News west coast shellfish aquaculture course included beating oysters up 💪☠️at Hog Island Oyster Co and visiting their nursery🦪 #vimsmsci552

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

At @Occidental for a bioinformatics workshop this week and this has to be the best smelling campus I have ever visited!! Every time I walk outside: 😌✨💫🤯🌺🌹🌸🥰

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

Excited to spend the Fall doing research at @SBRoscoff !! Now how do I say “oyster parasite” in French?

[ChateaubriandProgram @ChateaubriandUS]

Congratulations to the Chateaubriand Fellowship cohort of 2023-2024 ! The full list of selected projects is available to view on our website here -> https://t.co/EjC1DN8ew1

Some critters found during the @williamandmary undergraduate marine science field course I’m TAing; can’t believe we’re already halfway through the course! We spent the first week playing in the mud, coring a barrier island, and admiring fishes and inverts galore 🤩@VIMS_ESL

Ay, the turtles are out:

🐢 Stop to move them only if you can SAFELY PULL ENTIRELY OFF THE ROAD.

🐢 Grasp the shell firmly.
DO NOT fumble the turtle.

🐢 Move the turtle off the road in the direction it was already heading.

🐢 Then go back to minding your own business.

Find it online tomorrow at: https://t.co/9OR3duzeEK (as well as a bunch more awesome K-12 marine science lesson plans made by @VIMS_News grad students)

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

Had so much fun at the VA SEA Expo tonight, where VA teachers learned about my HS biology lesson plan: “Cereal Killer: Diagnosing Oyster Diseases with PCR”! My tasty lesson plan asks students to solve a murder mystery with crime scene data, cereal, and pipe cleaners 🧬🔎👩‍🔬

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

@mcmsharksxx thank you!!

[Anna @PoslednikAnna]

Presenting my first ever conference talk tomorrow at the 115th Annual National Shellfisheries Association Meeting! Come check it out tomorrow in Grand East at noon 😌
