Earlier this summer, @myrwu's Dr. Koty Sharp (@SharpKoty) talked about her ongoing research on the RI coral species Astrangia poculata and its microbiome. Revisit her presentation: https://t.co/oDKKrSkO3j #coral #RI #Astrangia #NarragansettBay

Keeping an eye on cell cleavage in #Astrangia embryos @rwusciences Love working with these developmental biologists! @BabonisLeslie @ScientistJake and Ryan Besemer!

Our lab @myrwu took the show on the road to the @whalingmuseum today for their Creature Feature - and we spread the word about New England corals, plastics pollution, and climate change. We think we spoke with over 100 visitors! Also took some time to be museum visitors… 🙂🐋🌟

[Dr. Koty Sharp @SharpKoty]

Our research group @myrwu spent a beautiful day in the field observing/learning/collecting - excited about their work focused on interactions among microbes, algae, and corals in our temperate coastal ecosystems. #undergradresearch #WomenInSTEM
Thanks @RIINBRE @RIEPSCoR!

Our favorite time of year is here again

SpawnFest 2022 has started @myrwu - freshly collected Astrangia poculata colonies from RI yesterday - students hard at work today, hoping to see some spawning in action this morning in the @rwusciences lab!

[Dr. Koty Sharp @SharpKoty]

#astrangia #spawnfest here @myrwu off to a great start, with loads of spawning and great fertilization success! Thankful to our hard-working and clever spawning team! @rwusciences
