The 2021 Cal Poly CCFRP sampling season is underway!
They sampled the Piedras Blancas reference site where they caught & released 225 fishes from 11 different species. #MPAresearch
Big thanks to the volunteer anglers, captain & crew of the Rita G. from @VirgsLanding!
I’m excited to share our new paper, out now in @PNASNews. We used #fossil#shark scales (denticles) preserved in coral reef sediments to reconstruct the pre-exploitation baseline of a reef shark community in Caribbean Panama. https://t.co/Sbl0sOm0J2 @odealab @mccauley_lab (1/18)
Publishing papers is great, but they don't determine your value.
Getting grants can be important, but they don't set your self-worth.
Receiving awards is fun, but they don't replace family and friends.
It's okay to enjoy academic achievements, but remember we are people first.
@NuisanceEcology Very possible! I broke a finger... and an ankle. I still haven't finished my MS, so there's still time for more. Hopefully not though.
