Delighted doesn't begin to explain the feeling of passing my PhD VIVA in Manchester this week! Bringing together @NYUADMarineBio and @OFishialLab in an amazing few years of coral reef fish research π ππ ππ
Thank you to EVERYONE who rode this wave with me π€π½
A successful 3 day workshop at @NYUAbuDhabi with the @NYUADMarineBio creating a standardised regional coral reef monitoring program through training and collaborative research ππ½

Meet the protectors of the βLungs of our Seasβ. Noura al Mansoori of @NYUAbuDhabi says of seagrasses; βthey trap carbon in their root tissue. Disturbing them releases this back into the atmosphere - an important reason to study and protect these habitats.β #uaepavilionexpo
The final talk of our warming world session is from @graceovaughan, who tells us about thermal tolerance and acclimatory capacity on the world's hottest reef (a proxy for future reefs under climate change). Cardinal fish close to their thermal max! #FSBI2022 @fsbi2022
Several talks today at @fsbi2022 emphasize that #Fish in the #tropics will be most impacted by #climatechange, yet these species tend to be less well studied. Great talk from @graceovaughan on if & how some species might be able to adapt...
Super excited for @fsbi2022! So happy to be here and looking forward to sharing some cool research about our Arabian Gulf fishes tomorrow π π #fsbi2022#fsbi#coralreeffish
@NYUAD_WRC Co-PI John Burt, Associate Professor of Biology receives NYUAD Transformative Research Award
This award is bestowed for transformative and highly impactful research and creative accomplishments.
Our Echinometra #microbiome paper is out in @molecology!
Temperature plays an important role in microbiota community composition and we describe several ASVs that are predictive of rising temps (including many Vibrios).
