SANDSWA members recently visited @Scripps_Ocean, touring the iconic #ScrippsPier, exploring two world-class oceanographic collections, & learning about cutting-edge research. 🌊 Dive deeper in a new blog post by SANDSWA member Swetha Kasetty Ramakrishnan: https://t.co/lgbV9OXfla

Remember the historic 2020 #RedTide off Southern California? In a new paper, Scripps alum @factskelton and a team of Scripps scientists uncover the impacts of the event, including the documented deaths of thousands of fishes, invertebrates and seabirds. ⬇️ https://t.co/ypWIoppM2f

Haters will say it's Photoshop, but these neon-green #SeaAnemones are the real deal! A recent study led by researchers from Scripps Oceanography and @Stanford uncovered the what and why behind these rare fluorescent intertidal dwellers. ⬇️

Harmful chemicals are making it into the food we eat, according to a new study from @ConsumerReports. @NedaNews8 of @CBS8 caught up with Scripps Oceanography PhD student & #COP28 delegate @karawiggin to learn more about what this means for our health. ⬇️

Delegates with Scripps Oceanography and @GPS_UCSD were honored to meet with @RepScottPeters at the #OceanPavilion at #COP28. Their discussion focused on ways that scientists can help policymakers, and vice versa, to work toward better climate solutions. #ForOurOceanPlanet

[San Diego Science Writers Association @SANDSWA2]

Join us for science writing book club! We're reading The Neuroscience of Yoga and Meditation by member @brittanydfair. The author will join us for a discussion of the topic and her process! Details on our events page https://t.co/cZF9FW4eup

Stoked that our Scripps Communications team was awarded by @PRSAsandiego last week! Woohoo! 💫

[Lauren Fimbres Wood @laurenfimbres]

Big week! Proud to share the @Scripps_Ocean communications team was named PR Team of the Year at the @PRSAsandiego Bernays Awards. Go team!

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

#Wavelengths returns with Scripps PhD student Taylor McKie (@taylorsherisse)! She discusses her research on how the physics happening below the ocean’s surface informs climate & weather patterns such as rain, drought, & more with alumna @TinyBeaker.⬇️

A major #RedTide event occurred off Southern California in spring 2020, resulting in dazzling displays of #bioluminescence. Now, a new study led by Scripps Oceanography, @UCSDJacobs & @WHOI pinpoints how a super-swimming plankton species fueled the exceptionally dense bloom. 🌊✨

This proposed #SXSW panel dives into the use of immersive visualization to communicate climate change, featuring a fantastic lineup of panelists. My vote is in, how about yours? 🗳️

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

Vote for this @SXSW panel that dives into how scientists and journalists are using game engines to create immersive visualizations that improve the communication and interpretation of big data in climate change and conservation.⬇️ #SXSW2024

@melissatruth @SANDSWA2 @Scripps_Ocean That there are 300-500 new fish species discovered every year! 🐟 (Pictured here: A female anglerfish with a much smaller male fused to her body) 👀

[San Diego Science Writers Association @SANDSWA2]

Thanks to both our new and long-time members (and +1s!) who came out to tour the @Scripps_Ocean pier and collections last week. What is something you learned and can't wait to share with others?

[Brittany @brittybirdie]

Teeny tiny phytoplankton play a BIG role in generating oxygen on our planet. 🌊🌎🙌 New research by @DanielPYee and @martin3guerres uncovers the previously unknown cellular process that enhances oxygen production in some #phytoplankton species, including #diatoms! ⬇️ #GoodNews

[Scripps Institution of Oceanography @Scripps_Ocean]

💨 The amount of oxygen in 1 out of 10 breaths is thanks to a newly discovered process in #phytoplankton. In a new study, Scripps scientists identify the cellular mechanism that promotes #photosynthesis, accounting for up to 12% of the planet's oxygen: https://t.co/lCZ2KbA2Md

Behind-the-scenes tour of @SDNHM? Yes please! Hope to see some @SANDSWA2 members at our special event this Friday, May 19. 🦋🦕✨ And for those curious about joining our humble #scicomm group, join us at the Nat@Night event after! 🍻

[San Diego Science Writers Association @SANDSWA2]

Join us on 5/19 for a special backstage tour of the Nat (@SDNHM) to view their private collections & research archives. Or meet us afterwards for Nat @ Night to explore the museum after hours and enjoy rooftop refreshments
Tour available to first 15 RSVPs: https://t.co/zqxkrdIPvW

Take a peek under the microscope with Scripps PhD student Anya Štajner (@ScienceStajner)! 🔬 Here we see a #VelellaVelella, a #hydrozoa that has been washing up on Southern California beaches recently. Learn more about these cool creatures. ⬇️

[Brittany @brittybirdie]

@BradMoore_SIO @ScienceSiren_ @Scripps_Ocean Go Kayla! 🎉 Congrats on this amazing accomplishment!
