Once upon a time I studied marine biology and statistics Then I developed acute fibromyalgia and my whole world changed!

I’m urgently fundraising for treatment for severe fibromyalgia. This illness has pushed me to my limit, and I’m fighting so hard to get my life back.A donation or a share would mean everything right now. https://t.co/Z04JzCtaqy

Cool new deep-sea shark paper 🦈:
Spatial ecology of black dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii) in deep waters off Canada: first record of a nursery, pupping ground and long-distance migration for a deepwater demersal shark https://t.co/nM9IhDNUdA

A thread of helpful tips for people struggling to stay motivated during their PhD! 🫠

[Madhumita @madram88]

Feeling completely demotivated in my final year of PhD. So much to write, and no will. The complete lack of responses from journals and a lack of certainty in life doesn't help. So @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice @thephdpeople @PhD_Genie any advice? I could really use help.

Another cool paper - discussing the natural history and selective pressures for scavenging 😃😱

Cool paper I found today:

Effect of scavenging on predation in a food web https://t.co/sCFcGzV028

Yay guy contents 😂🎉 I’ve been working on the gut contents chapter of my thesis looking at what deep sea sharks are eating! In particular we are looking for hoki - which we haven’t found - but look at these other cool things we DID find! 🤩 #deepsea #sharks #science #marinelife

[IUCN @IUCN]

37% of the world’s sharks and rays are now threatened with #extinction, primarily due to overfishing.

One highlight of #WFC2021 so far was the @mizer_model workshop! Great intro to size-spectrum multi-species models and how they've been used to address a wide variety of questions. And a great R tutorial testing the mizer package! @Dralicerogers @BlanchardJulia @world_fisheries

[Victoria Grace Carrington (she/her) @VGCarrington]

Day 2 at #WFC2021 - what a great first session on the challenges for small scale fisheries across the globe! Really interesting talks followed by a very insightful panel discussion ��🙂 @Cristina_B_Pita @NakamuraJulia @world_fisheries

New #sharkscience from Leontine Baje @samahoon5. Ecological risk assessment of elasmos caught in PNG prawn trawl fishery. Product from @ACIARAustralia funded project on PNG shark sustainability. @jcu @CSTFA_JCU @CSIRO @spinnershark7 @WillWhitesharks

#WFC2021 Currently tuning into the Ecosystem-based fisheries management session of @world_fisheries 🐟🐠 Awesome talk from Samik Datta from @niwa_nz presenting results of a multi-species size structured model of the Chatham Rise using @mizer_model

Day 1 of the World Fisheries Congress online #WFC2021 @world_fisheries. Loving the welcome by Adelaide's local aboriginal tribe, the Kaurna people, it's great to still be able to experience this online from New Zealand! 👏

Cool new research looking into alternative ageing approaches for difficult to age sharks! Exciting to see where this leads..! 🦈🦈🦈

My poor attempts at pre-recording a online conference talk for #WFC2021 is giving me a HUGE respect for YouTube vloggers…

Snapshot of today’s lab work down at @niwa_nz looking at gut contents of some #deepsea #sharks! Our focus for this is looking at which species eat hoki so we can better understand links between sharks and #fisheries!
