Now recruiting!
@coralprof@CoralReefFuture is recruiting a PhD student for #coral reproduction and managed breeding (recruit interventions, AGF, etc) in FL and beyond! We seek motivated people with experience in coral reproduction, molecular work, reef ecology, etc. (1/2)
#ECRS2024 Day 3 Update!
Katherine Hardy and lab alumni Brad Weiler gave great presentations this morning! Katherine discussed energetic impacts to Acropora species of hosting Durusdinium trenchii, and Bradley shared his data on diseased coral pathobiomes.

X-Reefs Team Carries out #CoralSpawning Mission
🪸
Two weeks ago, Diploria labyrinthiformis (DLAB) spawned on Florida’s reefs and even in some spawning laboratories. @floridaaquarium, a partner at @XREEFS, achieved laboratory induced spawning!
@DARPA
Happy Spawning!
Lab members watched over Diploria labrynthiformis in the lab and in the field in hopes of collecting coral gametes.
🤞
We are pleased to announce that the DLAB in our Spawning Lab successfully spawned, and our field team was able to collect wild spawn as well.
PhD student @katherinehardyy and Lab intern Maddie Praxl are sampling #coral juveniles to determine algal #symbiont species before outplanting. They will track survivorship, and symbiont composition.

This project is a part of the Southeast Florida Coral Reef Restoration Hub!
Grooved brain #coral spawning!

Our team saw spawning from this Diploria labyrinthiformis in our land-based induced spawning tanks yesterday! We were very surprised to see it much earlier than expected, at 4:30 pm. Usually in Florida this species spawns from 6 - 7:45 pm in…
Appearing on Twitter with @VP was not what I expected at the start of the week… and will be hard to beat! Thanks @KamalaHarris for the inspiring visit and for supporting our @DARPA-supported work to build coastal resilience using hybrid #coral#reefs@X_Reefs
My lab is seeking a Coral Larval Technician for a 3-year project focused on large-scale restoration using selective breeding & assisted evolution technologies. https://t.co/pAJYtCynBP
Come join us in at @MiamiRosenstiel! We are hiring a Manager of Land-Based Coral Propagation to help with new #Reefense research activities! More info and application link here: https://t.co/EqAAWdQIro

So happy to have attended #ICRS2022 with so many @CoralReefFuture grad students, including all ten of my current* PhD Students @UMiamiRSMAS! Congrats @ICRS_2022 for a great conference!
Very excited to announce the launch of a new #DARPA-funded program through #Reefense to develop resilient hybrid reefs to protect coastlines in Florida. Great opportunity to test new interventions! Come and hear more about it today at 17:15 at #ICRS2022 https://t.co/PlWSPSxvg7

Fridays are for #coral fragging!
🪚🛠
#PhD student @katherinehardyy uses a diamond bandsaw to cut a colony of Siderastrea siderea (massive starlet coral) into smaller fragments, each of which will be used for different parts of an experiment. Fragging is powerful tool in coral…
