Very excited to share my first first authored publication where we investigated the role of different thermal disturbance types on coral parent and offspring physiology! A HUGE thanks to all who helped out on this multi-year coral reproduction study! @BIOSstation @uricels

🚨The first paper from @acmgrillo PhD @PPGECOUFRN & @jcu is out @SpringerCORE showing that macroalgae and zoanthids require physical contact🥊 to harm corals 🪸 in the SW Atlantic 🇧🇷! 🎶u can't touch this🔥🎶 Collab with @edsonvfmar 💪
Check it out 👇 https://t.co/NiV5NYjUrf

Second chapter of Master's is now published ! 🥳
Within, we used flow cytometry to reveal that cellular plasticity was responsible for phenotypic change and seasonal acclimation in Guam's dominant Acropora coral. 🪸🪸🪸

So excited to be on the @ScienceMagazine news!!

Thank you @NerdyChristie for writing about our work on using a sea #anemone as a model to interrogate the cellular mechanisms of #biomineralization 🪸

Teamwork makes the dream work! Sheddʻs @jrcunning and @wrong_whale are collaborating with @HolliePutnam and @HarnayPierrick on lots of great research (and lunches) in #Moʻorea

After their 2022 Vis-a-Thon experience @universityofri's Kevin Wong (@kevhwong) & @risd's Daiqing Zhang wanted to collaborate more. Their latest exhibit, "The Color of White," depicts how future human actions can maintain coral reefs against climate change. #corals #visualization

[Kevin Wong @kevhwong]

This weekend @risd, Daiqing Zhang and I will be showcasing our second art-science collaborative piece called "The Color of White".

This interactive piece visualizes giving color back to bleached corals through the different layers of symbioses. Come check it out this weekend!

Amazing as always, @Cnidarians_Rock! Taking coral health to the next level. #reeffutures2022 #reeffutures @CoralConsortium

@DaviesswPhD @TimGBateman Thank you @DaviesswPhD !!

[Dr. Nikki Traylor-Knowles @cnidimmunitylab @Cnidarians_Rock]

I am so humbled to be awarded the RSMAS mentor of the year award! Thank you @cnidimmunitylab members! Ya’ll keep me on my toes and inspire me ALL THE TIME! Thank you RSMAS GSO!

[Kevin Wong @kevhwong]

@RIEPSCoR @risd Each coral skeleton reacted differently to the glass casting, showcasing the variability in bleaching sensitivity between species. Water-like light projection through the glass bricks represents the ocean, creating an immersive atmosphere for the beholders to experience.

[Kevin Wong @kevhwong]

I am very grateful to be part of @RIEPSCoR Vis-a-thon this year! This collaborative piece with @risd's Daiqing Zhang is named "The Unseen Stress" as it showcases the variability of different coral species to thermal stress through an artistic lens.

[Rhode Island EPSCoR @RIEPSCoR]

Kevin Wong (@kevhwong), a @universityofri Ph.D candidate examining coral physiology under Dr. Hollie Putnam (@HolliePutnam), created a glass-based project for the 2022 Vis-a-Thon with @RISD's Daiqing (Tracy) Zhang. Check it out! https://t.co/aQrORjb4oB #SciViz #STEM #coral

[Kevin Wong @kevhwong]

@RIEPSCoR @risd In the second form, the corals are encased in a glass brick (2400 degrees F), which is an incompatible combination. The stress left the glass bricks in an unstable state, which exemplified the fragility of the bleached coral.

High fives for metabolomics! 🙏🤩 @kevhwong @Dr_Cnidariana @HolliePutnam

Hey friends, I'm doing a fundraiser for trans youth in Texas. Info on IG. Will send you a print + shop cred at @britchida https://t.co/wwUFwluAfv
