The Interagency Coastal Wetlands Workgroup Recommendations for Reducing Wetland Loss in Coastal Watersheds of the United States is finally here! I’m very proud that I got to help get this document across the finish line and create outreach products. https://t.co/149F6Sp3cx

Watching #gastropods, or small snails, move can be very relaxing. They often leave trails in the sand from dragging their shells and bodies around.

I personally never had to use TUFFY’s, the kitchen scrubbers commonly used for “recruitment” studies (aka collecting baby marine animals looking for a home), but plenty of my lab mates did. Interesting article for sure.

For any #womeninSTEM, I highly recommend this #leadership program. I learned way more about myself, my strengths, and my challenges than I could have imagined.

For my fellow fellows at @AAAS_STPF, great #professionaldevelopment opportunity!

Happy #earthday!

Here are just some of the amazing places this world has to offer I’ve had the privilege to see and we need to protect #EarthDayEveryDay!

@thexylom Got it mostly together now and started my position as a @AAAS_STPF Fellow placed at the EPA! I hope this helped anyone struggling at the beginning or is a good reminder of how far we’ve all come.

🌳 #Mangroves are vital #ForNature and people.🌱💧

These #wetlands have a "secret power" that makes them key #NatureBasedSolutions to #ClimateChange.

But they are being destroyed at an alarming rate.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay2021!

#wetlands are important ecosystems and provide many benefits to people, nature and the planet.

They...
🦩provide wildlife habitat
🌎function as carbon sinks
🌊offer flood protection
💧improve water quality
