Research Update! I collected blood samples from nesting green & loggerhead #seaturtles to begin to connect sea turtle #health & #ecology-funded by the #SeaTurtleGrantsProgram ($: sale of the FL #SeaTurtleLicensePlates!) Stay tuned for the results!

@sierraceratops I know it feels rough at the moment but you’re doing great and you’ve got great things ahead of you! Don’t forget all of the amazing things you’ve accomplished already!

To the #SERSTM2023 attendees, I think it would be helpful to get a count of how many people came home with COVID. And it may help folks make decisions before #ISTS41_Cartagena. Please RT.

[Tiffany Dawson @TiffDtheTurtle]

A quick FYI to #serstm2023 friends so folks can make informed decisions!

@sierraceratops @UCFTurtleLab @UCFBioREU You did a fantastic job and it was so great working with you!!

[Sierra Bornheim @sierraceratops]

I had so much fun presenting updated data from my summer research at #SERSTM this week! I estimated the diet composition of oceanic juvenile green and kemp's ridley turtles using a stable isotope mixing model

[Tiffany Dawson @TiffDtheTurtle]

All research was done under permits: MTP-171, 186, 256; NMFS-19508, 26268

[Tiffany Dawson @TiffDtheTurtle]

The @ucfturtlelab showcased some of our research at #serstm2023 this week along with many other talented scientists from the #seaturtle community! We even had opening remarks from @wildcorwin!

🧵Check out the results!

And a special shout out to @jeenmarine and @biologist_abby for their support at their first conference as UCF MTRG members!

Very exciting talk and paper by @Matt_D_Ramirez and coauthors looking at hawksbill #seaturtle diet and growth rates! #ecology #stableisotopes #serstm2023

[Dr. Matthew Ramirez @Matt_D_Ramirez]

Excited to share our recently published work at #SERSTM linking diet and growth variation in critically endangered #hawksbill #seaturtles. Longer post coming next week, but in the meantime you can check out the #OpenAccess pub here: https://t.co/t5mhF1mTnv
