Graduate student @Scripps_Ocean | she/her | deep sea ecology/mercury biogeochemistry | Talk to me about cephalopods 🦑

[Rachel Chen @RachelSChen]

I’m ECSTATIC that my undergrad honors thesis has been published with @SpringerNature in @Mar_Biology! We used longnose lancetfish diets to reveal the role of gelatinous #cephalopods (e.g., squids and octopuses) in #deepsea food webs 🦑

@DocFroehlich Thank YOU for taking the time to share your science with us @Scripps_Ocean! It was an amazing talk :) Looking forward to seeing all the awesome and important work that comes from your lab in the future!

Had an AMAZING 2 weeks learning about stable isotopes at #Isocamp2023! Would highly recommend this short-course to folks using isotopes for their research. Somehow managed to work on a whale trophic ecology project while in the desert 🐋

As a cephalopod enthusiast, I was hoping our paper would be published during #Squidtember but better late than never! I am very excited that my first (first-author!) paper contributes to our understanding of my favorite group of animals! 🦑🐙

We collaborated with artist/scientist Alejandro Cano-Lasso Carretero to create the beautiful illustrations in our paper. He also took this great photo of me and Elan with a Grimalditeuthis from a lancetfish stomach! Check out @ doctorcato on Instagram for more of his amazing work

This #FieldworkFriday, we're taking a deeper look at a 16-day research expedition off Southern California led by Scripps biological oceanographer @anelachoy and her lab in the summer of 2021. 🌊🚢 #OceanScience

Say it with us: Women make science better. Today for #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience we’re celebrating some of the amazing #WomenInSTEM at Scripps. Follow along in this thread to see what these students and researchers are studying.

[Women and Minorities in Science at SIO @wmis_sio]

Calling all grad school applicants! Not sure how to prepare for interviews and virtual open houses?

We polled current @Scripps_Ocean graduate students and professors to ask for their advice & they delivered!

Summary below, but find the full list at https://t.co/r7tjm9eT7P

[Cara Poulsen @shelikessharks]

Hey friends! Any advice on reading journal articles more often/regularly? Ex. tips to keep you motivated, taking good notes (I’m a highlighting fiend & not in a good way), organizing files, anything you think will help! Thanks in advance! #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

"I grew up going to the @MontereyAq, which first sparked my love for the ocean and my desire to study marine science." @UCSanDiego undergrad @RachelSChen is turning her dreams into reality at Scripps. Follow her journey as she prepares for graduate school: https://t.co/FsqwDcRgk1

Scientists have discovered that, on occasions, an octopus will “punch” a fish for no reason other than “spite”

Distraction: Octopoteuthis deletron is a deep-sea #squid that, instead of hiding in the face of predators, lops off its own arms as a distraction! 🦑🪓 Scripps has one of these creatures in our Pelagic Invertebrate Collection; photos by Linsey Sala. (Underwater📸 by @MBARI_News)
