Students

Students learn about marine organisms, ecosystems, animal husbandry and aquaculture in a new facility modeled after public aquariums and university labs.

🐚 What happens when you bring 37 highschool students from landlocked Iowa to Fiji? They come back with new perspectives, inspired to be #OceanLeaders.

I never thought I'd team up with @peta , but for dissections in our program, I wanted to try something different this year with #teachkind .... if we don't critically assess our own practices consistently, we'll never make progress.

#CephalopodWeek day 3! Two #nautilus just enjoying some tuna at 250m in Papua New Guinea and this tiny, little #sunfish makes an "annoying" 😀 appearance on the #bruvs! After, it swam back and forth for a couple hours... #savethenautilus

🪧 Another signage project in the books! 🪧

Tenji was excited to partner with the Central Campus school to produce identification signage for their lab exhibits. The students contributed “Did You Know?” facts and the respective IUCN Red List assessment for each species.

Breaking News - There are now THREE new species of Nautilus! https://t.co/eYU757ZkK9 via @TheOctoNation @cephs #savethenautilus

We chatted with scientist @gjbarord, who has been studying Nautilus for over 20 years & recently identified 3 new species! Let’s learn about this elusive group & what implications this may have on the future of nautilus conservation!

Thanks to @WHO13news for featuring our marine biology program and the recent discoveries its director, Dr. Greg Barord, made of new nautilus species. This one-of-a-kind program in Iowa is right here at Des Moines Public Schools. https://t.co/UF6G6ioKks

If you’ve not had the opportunity to tour @CentralCampusDM , here’s another reason why you have to see the amazing work our teachers do to make the classroom come to life! Way to go Dr. Barord & @CCMarineScience

[TheNautilusFiles @gjbarord]

This was the talk I gave at @MACNA highlighting our @CCMarineScience program.

Also, the talk that started a series of health events that doctors still can't explain...

My students design our class shirt every year. The front design (nautilus/squid/sea horse) stays the same, the larger one on the back changes. The only rule is they have to incorporate nautiloids into it... #savethenautilus #nautilusswag

[TheNautilusFiles @gjbarord]

Paper published!!! 3 new species of Nautilus described!!!! #savethenautilus
