During NEEMO XX, a mission aboard @ReefBase, the aquanaut team assisted researchers from @FIU’s @images_lab in the collection of samples used for a study on the microbial diversity within the massive starlet coral 🌊 The #reseach: https://t.co/6qgzRC7OyG

On #WomenInScienceDay I thought how proud I was to be working in a field that can claim so many incredible #WomenInSTEM

But the number of women in #coral science likely isn't *more*, it's just closer to parity.

What should be normal feels unusual.

We still have work to do.
