Get a load of these beautiful corals!! They’re so ready to spawn! #astrangiathings

[Jillian Igoe @igoe_jillian]

Thrilled to announce I’ve joined the Patel Lab @MBLScience as an RAII! Excited to continue my research journey—bridging my coral background with broader questions in invertebrate development through molecular and cellular tools.

Cape Cod’s only native shallow-water hard coral, Astrangia poculata is studied by MBL scientists to better understand the role of symbionts and temperature in coral skeleton formation. 🌊

🚨New @Guse_Lab Preprint Alert!🚨 Integrins are key receptors involved in the phagocytosis of symbionts in cnidarians. This sheds light on the mechanisms of symbiosis establishment in coral reefs. A thread...

💊🪸Could a multivitamin help save #coralreefs? Preliminary data says... yes!

#WHOI #ReefSolutions experts have developed nutrient-infused tiles o diffuse trace metals to boost corals' immune systems + make them resilient to heat stress!

interview on our article "Coral reef protection is fundamental to human rights" explaining our motivation & changes this could instigate, nice background & perspective I think! https://t.co/6VkcvZgsw3 (German only atm) @UniKonstanz

Great to see the archived Seaweed Books at the weekend. This is a pressed seaweed bouquet, donated to the Morrab Library in Penzance.

We published a thorough review of coral clonal growth and a new universal model of coral clonal growth on the same day (yesterday):

Hoping they'll be useful in advancing the field and supporting practical applications

From one extreme to the other. Uggggg.

Coral restoration is, at best, a feel-good measure – and at worst, a dangerous distraction from climate action.

🌊🌕 Countdown to the full moon on August 19th! 🌟 This signals the start of coral spawning, a crucial natural event. Corals reproduce in various ways: hermaphroditic or gonochoristic, brooders or broadcast spawners. Stay tuned for the magic just days after the full moon!

[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @WHOI]

😲With @ENERGY funding, Scott Lindell's lab at #WHOI recently mapped a #sugarkelp genome– and plan to crack the genetic code for the entire species. This #breakthrough will help growers select perfect kelp "seeds" in 2 weeks!

Undergraduate students, a high school student, and research assistants brought their energy to share stories about seaweed and coral ⁦@MBLScience⁩ Woods Hole Science Stroll. Oh! The places you'll go! #phycologyfriday ⁦@TropicSeaweed⁩

[Loretta @Roberson_Lo]

They made a lot of thicc larvae, too… @MBLScience

Short video of a very gravid Northern Star coral (Astrangia poculata) colony spawning in the lab. Look at that thing go!

[Jillian Igoe @igoe_jillian]

Spawn fest well underway at the MBL! #astrangiathings

[Jake Warner @ScientistJake]

Astrangia spawning season is in full swing!
