[Dr. Chris Long @dontturtmebro]

Happy to be part of an amazing team of co-authors working on this review of key issues in sea turtle conservation! Thanks for leading the charge @Fuentes_MMPB!

[Dr. Matt Ware @mattware_phd]

A holiday present to all is in @ESR_IR! @Fuentes_MMPB led this amazing team investigating what we know and what we dont about the major threats to #seaturtles, including the need to address them in combination. Check it out at https://t.co/jb666ZxOzS. @UNCW_CMS @FSUResearch

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

Such an honor to be part of this massive research effort to think through sea turtle threats, led by the incredible @Fuentes_MMPB!

[Endangered Species Research @ESR_IR]

Sea turtles are exposed to multiple anthropogenic threats. Our latest article led by @Fuentes_MMPB identifies the current knowledge gaps, uncertainties, and challenges that hinder the assessments of the most pressing threats to sea turtles. https://t.co/SjMkz59Yxc

Good morning, I’m Anna Ortega and it’s time for the #Twittertakover #PhDayinthelife series!

I’m a PhD candidate with @BiolSci_UWA and @UpwellTurtles doing research to find the best ways to save sea turtles. I’m taking over @UWAOceans today so you can join me on this journey!

[School of Biological Sciences, UWA @BiolSci_UWA]

Hey everyone! My name is Jess and this is the November #sbstwittertakeover and #PhDdayinthelife. I'm a final year PhD candidate working in the Centre for Evolutionary Biology - I study sperm and fertilisation in marine invertebrates!🦪Keep an eye out for my tweets today!

[Jon Evans @1jonevans]

Last day on intertidal, students fully committed despite noncompliant tides! @annashortega @BiolSci_UWA

[Jon Evans @1jonevans]

Made a new friend this morning but we got photobombed by this stripy damselfish! (Bengal Sargeant) ⁦@annashortega⁩ ⁦@BiolSci_UWA⁩

[Jon Evans @1jonevans]

Another year, another fabulous cohort of ANIM2209 Zoology field course participants in Coral Bay ⁦@uwanews⁩ ⁦@BiolSci_UWA⁩

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

#DEB2023, because where else can you combine mechanistic modeling, alligator tours, and dance parties with an (amazing) international cohort? @DynEnerBudgets thank you for an unreal two weeks!

[ShaySuzann @ShaySuzann]

The last few weeks at #DEB2023 were challenging but rewarding and I'm so glad I got to spend them with y'all 💕 See you later alligators! 🐊
@DynEnerBudgets @annashortega @swbinger @callumdonohue92 @TongyaoP @guit_joe @luanfrs @katiereilly82 and all the other fabulous people!

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

I love, love, LOVED getting to be part of Turtle Week at Highgate Primary School! Thank you to the S1 class for sharing the *best* ocean stories, turtle artwork, and dance moves with me. Cheers to the next generation of marine biologists! 🌊💚

[Upwell Turtles @UpwellTurtles]

A fun read explaining the Cocos - #galapagos swimway and why further protections will help the #seaturtles and other species that use it for migration

We’re enjoying the 2023 solar eclipse from the UWA Zoology building - PhD students @jess_hadlow, @MurleyMatilda , @annashortega, and @IsobelSewell have discovered some creative ways to view the eclipse without equipment!

[UWA Oceans Institute @uwaoceans]

Follow along as @annashortega takes over the SBS Twitter account to share her #PhDayInTheLife.

Spoiler alert: there's lots of sea turtles!

[School of Biological Sciences, UWA @BiolSci_UWA]

Hi everyone, I’m @annashortega and I’m happy to welcome you to another #TwitterTakeover! I study sea turtles as a PhD Candidate with @BiolSci_UWA, @UpwellTurtles, and @uwaoceans. Join me today on a #PhDayInTheLife to learn about sea turtles, and how we work to protect them.

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

@PaulineGrierso1 @BiolSci_UWA Thank you so much, Pauline!

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

#ISTS41 in Cartagena, Colombia was unbelievable. I am honored to have met so many amazing researchers, and to have taken 3rd place for the Archie Carr Conservation Award. I can’t wait to “sea” my turtle family next year in Thailand!

[Anna Ortega @annashortega]

@IsobelSewell Thanks for being a fabulous SciComm role model. 👏
