Thanks to recent tech advances, we can now use automation to count and (nondestructively) spectrally sort live coral embryos and larvae using flow cytometry! #FlyCoralLarvae Check out the method here: https://t.co/Y0ifO4BqIh @aims_gov_au @UnionBiometrica

Many small eggs or fewer large eggs? We saw no trade-off between coral egg size and number of eggs in 7 Acropora species at Scott Reef.

Sad news at the @calacademy this week

[California Academy of Sciences @calacademy]

Today, we shared the painful news that 75% of our staff will be impacted as we prepare to fight through a $12M loss in the upcoming year. To those impacted: You are not to blame. We're honored by your work. And we're here to support you going forward. https://t.co/2NCVzsrnj9

[Carly Randall @DrCarlyRandall]

Thrilled to finally share the results of a great collaboration with some wonderful coral reproductive biologists - read on for applications of sexual reproduction in reef restoration. @aims_gov_au @MEPS_IR https://t.co/SCXyT02mVc

For those who didn't know "depth-color coded projections of single-cell freshwater protozoans" could be mesmerizingly beautiful, the 1st- & 2nd-place winners of the 2019 @NikonSmallWorld Competition.

Australian citizens and residents, please consider signing this petition to have the #ClimateEmergency declared by parliament. Coral reefs don't have time for more smokescreens and deliberations.

#Fulbright @MonashUni Postdoc Scholar Dr @TarynFoster_ is having a 🐳 of a time in #SanFran! Her #CoralRestoration research is gaining some serious momentum at @calacademy 🐠 @aims_gov_au

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

@Erin_Hoare @calacademy @AustAmFulbright Thanks Erin! When are you starting?

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

The gorgeous and iconic living roof @calacademy does not disappoint! It has been an awesome first month of the Fulbright Fellowship @AustAmFulbright

[Dr. Marji Puotinen @marji_puotinen]

Did you know: 1000+s of tiny animals - #coralpolyps - work together to build the rocky framework that makes a #coralreef ? Look closely at these #coral skeletons and you can see the holes where each polyp used to sit!! Thx @aims_gov_au for these epic skeletons from NW #australia

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

Huge collaborative effort from Western Australian scientists. Sadly, despite their isolation WA reefs are not immune to #climatechange or #coralbleaching

[Verena Schoepf @VerenaSchoepf]

What's the state of Western Australia's coral reefs? How were they impacted by the recent global bleaching event? Find out more in this study by @JamesPGilmour that involved 19 institutions!! https://t.co/u8ZiF5baAK

Why is WA the only state with no renewable energy target?

[Climate Council @climatecouncil]

South Australia is tipped to hit 100% renewable energy by 2025. NSW, not so much. https://t.co/PTr9tJmFj3

[Dr. Marji Puotinen @marji_puotinen]

Coming to @StrikeClimate in Perth (11am-1pm, St Georges Cathedral) on Friday 15 Mar? Help carry the HUGE (7 by 5m) #kidscareaboutclimatechange flag (1,246 drawings, 11 countries, 120 schools- https://t.co/EmF44mpBFY! Below it's in #Antarctica with #TeamHb3 of @HomewardBound16 !

[Carly Randall @DrCarlyRandall]

Hey #marinescience educators! If your students are interested in #coralreefs, check out our recently published lesson plan measuring the impacts of #ENSO and #coastalupwelling on reef growth! Fun for everyone yr 10 to undergrad. https://t.co/Gp9NQmZqTK @aims_gov_au @FloridaTech

[D Smale @DanSmale1]

Good piece in @nytimes on our #marineheatwaves paper in @NatureClimate - Climate change “may be a gradual process, but set on that backdrop are these extreme warming events that might be becoming more common that can have more dramatic consequences,” https://t.co/3JxGtB7K9n

[A/Prof Zoe Richards @ZoeR_Coral]

Heartfelt congratulations to @TarynFoster_, recipient of a #FullbrightFellowship. Exciting times ahead for you @calacademy furthering 3D printing and robotic technologies to benefit reef restoration! We are all behind you!! @WomenSciAUST #Perth #coral #InnovativeScience

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

@ZoeR_Coral @calacademy @WomenSciAUST Thanks @ZoeR_Coral you are too kind to me 😍

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

@Erin_Hoare @AustAmFulbright That's awesome! You definitely have to come and check out all the WA marine life hotspots now!

[Taryn Foster @TarynFoster_]

This super🌟 not only a talented scientist passionate about mental health, also plays AFL for Geelong! Congrats @Erin_Hoare @AustAmFulbright
