Great example of visual science communication not to mention an astonishing example of the current reality… https://t.co/2vdMcaykk5

🚨New paper out! Lower density and higher porosity of the coral skeleton were correlated with the inoculation of pathogen and mitigated by probiotics. BMCs also substantially increased calcification https://t.co/Lq6zIdgPb8 @KaustResearch @KAUST_News @RSRC_KAUST @aeon_collective

🚨New paper out @SciReports! Check out a genome-based framework to select oil-degrading bacteria that can also provide additional benefits to corals. We also show the importance of using bacterial consortia for instead of single strains.

Inspired by this! "[Dr. Amie Sankoh] is the first deaf, Black woman to receive a doctorate in any scientific, technical, engineering and maths discipline in the US, and possibly the world." 👏👏👏 #WomenInSTEM https://t.co/IfaEku4Utp

So proud of my Molecular Genetics students at @NCSSM for doing graduate level research investigating bacterial communities associated with natural and GloFish® zebrafish! Honored to have my course highlighted by @NCSSM_Research! #ilovemyjob

I should have done this in grad school! 😂

Had a fantastic day with @NCSSM students @DrMaite @mark_ciesielski and Down East Mariculture learning about oysters, habitat fragmentation, and phytoplankton. Donning the waders never gets old.

So honored to be working for @NCSSM - the number one high school in the nation! https://t.co/8PcqCFjCnz

And that’s a wrap on the mural!

What a difference 10 days makes. Trust us when we say the photos don’t do it justice - y’all just need to come to @UNC’s marine lab to check it out in person!

Wait. The court ruled the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t have... the authority to protect the environment?? AKA the authority to "respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time"?? https://t.co/gMtSRNM1Cw

The second session of our Coral Reef Health Index Workshop is done! 🎉🪸 Thanks to everyone for participating and contributing to a creative brainstormy discussion. Lots of input to be consolidated now. @FrontMarineSci @bmmo_network @reefgenomics @DiseaseMatters @peixotors

The kelp forests and seaweed beds in Australia, where this awesome creature lives, are under increasing threat from pollution. Restoration efforts are being made! Study: https://t.co/UAy0dcC9AD #scicomm #oceanconservation #oceanrestoration #reefcommunity

It's been a while since I've dived in temperate Aussie waters, but look who was part of the welcoming party... a leafy seadragon!😍

Exaiptasia (glass sea anemones) are fantastic coral models to study endosymbiosis including critical zooxanthella Symbiodinium and several bacterial species, including pathogens. And they make great outreach and undergraduate research organisms!

[John Parkinson @parkinsonje]

Anemo-nom-nom-nom!

We may have overdone feeding one of our new #Aiptasia colonies. Thanks as always to @WeisLab (especially @ShumpeiM) for shipping them.

On the same day, @turnkira from @Symbiodiniaceae sent us cultures of the symbiont species this colony hosts. #teamwork

Shout out to @elizshaver! :)

Awesome coral restoration infographic using data from scientific literature + current restoration methods. @Lisa_B_E, @DrIanMcLeod + collaborators note restoration is *crucial* and a *tool for resilience* as we aim to mitigate effects of climate change. https://t.co/MLp03F1kWb

Our recent @SciReports found fewer coral-eating snails and greater snail-eating lobsters + black margates in protected FL reefs, indicating marine protection may preserve trophic levels & promote coral success. @JuliannaRenzi
