🤿 @TheodoraMautz, a second-year Scripps Oceanography PhD student studying marine biology, is taking a deep dive (literally) into learning about squid mating rituals, population changes and more. 🦑 @smithsonianmag shares more about her work. ⬇️

❤️ She's the marine mollusk matchmaker 🐙 We're talking about @TheodoraMautz, a Scripps PhD student diving deep into the reproductive behaviors of cephalopods. Read more about her research exploring how these mollusks choose their perfect match! 💕🦑 https://t.co/6Y45wapNYz

A little purple fairy fluttering through the reef, the batwing sea slug Sagaminopteron ornatum. Perhaps my favorite sea slug. Filmed in slow motion.

Just out in a special issue of @CellCellPress, we survey common methodological issues in sex-split analyses, and advocate for greater rigor and precision in the study of sex-related variation. https://t.co/2Vh5uRf43l

#Cuttlefish fun fact: Ink does more than ward off potential predators—it's also an important aspect of mating rituals. ❤️ Scripps Oceanography PhD student @TheodoraMautz shared more about unconventional cuttlefish courtship methods with @Debriefmedia. ⬇️

It was fun to talk to @Debriefmedia a bit about cephalopod / cuttlefish mating!

[The Debrief @Debriefmedia]

During their bizarre mating rituals, cuttlefish have been spotted doing something scientists never expected. https://t.co/4Y3QRpRnZq

It was amazing to get to help with the field research for this project last month!

🐟In honor of #WorldWildLifeDay, we highlight the work of Scripps scientists supporting the #GrouperMoonProject—an effort that researches #NassauGrouper spawning aggregations to help drive the successful recovery of their populations.

🐠🧠 When a fish changes sex, what changes in the brain? Our new preprint goes deep on sex differences in the clownfish forebrain. Findings across diverse cell types & gene expression. What do you think? Tear it up! biorxiv: https://t.co/5cXvB4Zl5Y #neuroscience #fishsci

Awesome to see my former boss, @thecvvd’s Dr. Andrew Goldstein, talking about medical gaslighting and pain with IUD insertion in @nytimes

[The New York Times @nytimes]

IUDs are highly effective, but some women find insertion painful. The New York Times spoke to several obstetrician-gynecologists about how women who are considering an IUD can prepare themselves beforehand. https://t.co/uP3LRWiJIl

So excited to share my @guardian story about stunning sea slugs and the amazing people who find them.

Earlier this year I went diving in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland with @libbykeatley searching for nudibranchs and we found SO MANY!

Raise your tentacles if you love octopuses! 🐙 Yes, the correct term is octopuses—we checked with Scripps Oceanography alum and postdoctoral scholar Adi Khen (@adlysia_) who also shared a ton of cool octopus facts with us for #WorldOctopusDay. Learn more: https://t.co/OpnaIpBDZj

Our new study is out! The ability to experience vulvar pleasure is associated with lower pain-related anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and higher sexual functioning in patients with chronic vulvar pain. @MaeveMulroy @QSexLab @jillkrapfmd @thecvvd

Most linguists believe that the only species that possesses language is our own. Could sperm-whale clicks challenge this belief? https://t.co/u8DeM7meUd

🚨 We are delighted to announce that our new paper is out TODAY in @CurrentBiology 🚨 Here we provide the first direct evidence of how a predator - the trumpetfish - can use ANOTHER ANIMAL for concealment when hunting!
