New paper out w/ Cory Walter & @DrErinnMuller! In "Fine Scale Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of the Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreak Within the Lower Florida Keys," we determined key characteristics of #SCTLD needed for management and modeling. https://t.co/bd5FHq1RNs

Ever wonder about coral larval settlement? Microbial biofilms?

Sprinkle in a little network analysis and I got a new paper for you 🪸🧬

New pub out today led by @Aquanaut1957 on some of our past outreach & education work @NUMarSci! … I never thought I’d be dressed as a coral polyp in an article figure… Cosplay as a Novel Method for Outreach in Ocean Science: https://t.co/gudECkEL59

Last week, the summer intern program wrapped up and we had a great end-of-summer poster session. From learning new photophysiology methods to practicing their science communication, our three CHaD lab undergraduate researchers did some awesome work!

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

If I ever make it out of TPA today, come see my talk at 10:15 am Thursday at #ESA2023! I'll be presenting on a trait-space model that incorporates coral immune traits to predict reef community composition after a disease outbreak.

[Carl Bleaching @CeliaLeto]

As terrible as bleaching is, it can be hauntingly beautiful at night

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

@Cnidarians_Rock Yes! It will be wonderful to finally get to chat with you in person!!

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

Who’s going to ESA next week? I’m excited to go to a new conference this year! … It’s also my first conference not going with anyone from my lab/institution, so I’m looking forward to meeting people.

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

@klgallagherphd Yes, looking forward to it!

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

I’ve spent the last week in the water assisting with coral rescue efforts… where did the blue bird go???

[USGS @USGS]

Check out these recent USGS photos showing coral in the Florida Keys and @DryTortugasNPS in the Gulf of Mexico experiencing coral bleaching caused by abnormally high water temperatures being fueled by worldwide heat waves and El Nino. Learn more: https://t.co/SjAOzOR9RQ

[Dr. Blake Ushijima @VibrioSoup]

101 F is 38 degrees C. The coral pathogen we work on (Vibrio coralliilyticus) will die at that temperature. Let that sink in. This is beyond "just a hot summer"

If anybody asks what does coral bleaching look like ? - show them this. These two pictures were taken only 8 days apart.
Thank you @CoralCityCamera and @CoralMorph
And it’s still only July

[Dr. Sara D. Williams @SaraDWms]

Alright, I’m trying this threads thing. You can follow me @ seasarascience on there (which is also my science instagram) but I’ll also keep this bird app for now, not that I’ve been super active on it lately 🤷‍♀️

👀👀"Here we provide guidelines for ecological researchers when writing statistical methods and review frequent errors made in Statistical Methods sections. We highlight some common dos and don’ts".

Looks like a very useful paper!
