Congrats @Rssmith218 - our 2nd place winner for the
@ESArestore early career publication award! Rachel studies the loss and recovery dynamics of coastal foundation species to better understand how to restore and manage coasts. Check out the winning paper: https://t.co/UEwlPBtLTd

Your @vcrlter moment of zen on a rainy dawn salt marsh, with the ghost forest looming behind.

[Dr. Ezra J. Kottler @EzraKottler]

Fellow #ESA2023 attendees! Hope to see you at my talks: Tues 8/8 at 1:15pm on GxE interactions of marsh grasses migrating with sea-level rise https://t.co/QSwBQkeosT and Thurs 8/10 12pm on making field work safer for trans ecologists! https://t.co/GB7MOmpXWE

2+ years taking the same route to my lab, speaking to the same person each time. Today they gave me a heads up that I’ll be getting a work order to dump their waste….once I led the convo towards them realizing I’m a PI, there was no apology…just backtracking. #BlackInSTEM 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Dr Kareem Carr @kareem_carr]

Almost everybody answers this incorrectly in my opinion. They give a single answer like in math instead of a range of answers like in statistics.

That’s why statistical thinking is better than math thinking when it comes to real life problems.

[Amani Webber-Schultz @Curly_Biologist]

I made a post for my Instagram about graduate research fellowships in marine science (and other fields) and thought I might as well post here too since it’s scholarship season! Hopefully it’s helpful to someone 🌊

Join us in congratulating and welcoming the NEW DR. Burgess (@murryloub), our stellar Field Inclusive co-founder who defended her dissertation today!! 🙌🏽

She’s on her way to doing great things, and is paving the way for others! Congratulations Murry. 🎊

The air quality wasn’t great for our quarterly Water Quality Sampling at the @vcrlter yesterday, but there were some pretty stellar crews out on the bays!

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Learning artifacts from all day professional development with elementary science teachers - the group who nationally receives the least training and support for teaching science.
Many PD supports thanks to @BSCSorg.

Is has been a busy research summer so far at the @vcrlter! With annual fish sampling and seagrass surveying completed, we now have time to focus on individual grad student projects throughout the lagoons, marshes, islands, and forests

My first chapter is published!! Check out our high-res predictions of potential marsh migration areas in Chesapeake Bay and its implications for future marsh extent on the US coastline and beyond.

Sometimes climate change looks like people abandoning their homes because of rising sea levels
