PhD student in @RassterLab studying resilience of MPAs to climate change. MS in Marine Resource Mgmt. from Oregon State. Formerly lab tech with @PiscoScience
New paper out in @PolicyMarine exploring case studies using the #MPAGuide from around the world! 🌍 We show how standardized assessments of MPA quality can help improve conservation efforts globally. https://t.co/IbhFsJoeCB
These students are going places! Specifically: To DC's Capitol Hill🏛️
Our Graduate Student Policy Award recipients hit the Hill tomorrow to talk about their research & the importance of federal funding for science. Wish them luck!
Learn more about them: https://t.co/Dt306me8OQ
Successful day on Capitol Hill with @ESA_org and fellow graduate students discussing the importance of funding @NSF and scientific research! Great conversations with the offices of @SenatorBaldwin and @RonJohnsonWI about NSF’s importance to Wisconsin!
ESA is pleased to announce the Katherine S. McCarter Graduate Student Policy Award 2024 cohort!🎉
Recipients will head to Washington DC next month to discuss federal investments in biological & ecological science with members of Congress

If you work on marine aquaculture management or policy in the U.S., you'll want to check out our new State Marine Aquaculture Policy Dashboard. https://t.co/GqKNrRfbcs to explore policy info across the 23 coastal states. Join our webinar to learn more https://t.co/JqsrbuHbW6
I am recruiting Ph.D. students to join my lab at FSU in 2024. We use quantitative methods, modeling and field work to study spatial ecology of nearshore systems. A particularly good match for students who enjoy playing with high tech toys like autonomous boats and computer vision
really interesting paper from @PLOSBiology about the costs (time, opportunities, and more) of being a non-native English speaker in academia: https://t.co/MIld8igolR
Check out this paper where we synthesize and harmonize the large collection of MPA design guidelines in the scientific literature. Awesome work leading this effort @echelle_burns!
Congratulations to Dr. Scott Miller on successfully defending his PhD! Scott gave a great presentation on phase shifts in coral reef ecosystems. Excellent work, Scott!
Internship Opportunity Alert!
We are thrilled to announce that our partnered Chrysalis Internship applications have opened!
The Chrysalis internship is fully funded, with travel, housing, and a stipend provided.
Link to the application in our bio!
Excited to share this paper, led by @ThinkDeepReef, where we explore the broad diversity of fishery restrictions used in #MarineProtectedAreas around the world to help balance conservation and local resource use goals ⬇️
I can't believe I received so few inquiries about this PhD position! Come to Tasmania and work with me and amazing @SizeEcology team. Work with global fish datasets, size based models and help find new ways to use citizen science data for conservation. https://t.co/c0jW1WwtCG
Environmental (In)Justice in the Anthropocene Ocean
This new paper examines how pollution, plastics, climate change, environmental and fisheries declines converge, accumulate & impact coastal populations around the world's oceans. #marsocsci#bluejustice

Tune in tomorrow for @coralecoguy's PhD dissertation defense, titled “Investigating the foraging, social, and spatial ecology of Caribbean parrotfishes,” for @FSUbio at 2 pm in King 2057 or DM for zoom link! photo credit: Krista Laforest
Welcome Dr.@elizabetsy_jane to the @Rassterlab! Betsy is a post-doc with the Apalachicola Bay System Initiative at @FSUMarineLab. She will be conducting interdisciplinary social-ecological research, focusing on fisher perceptions of #ecosystemservices in Ap Bay (1/3)
Hey y’all, after some time away, the Rasster lab is back on Twitter! We have some exciting changes to faces and roles that we’ll be sharing throughout the week. First up is the newest PhD student to join the lab, @Laurel_Field! (1/4)
Defended my Master's research today and passed! I'm excited to celebrate by traveling to South Africa this week to visit my collaborators (@WILDOCEANSSA), explore a few of my field sites (in person, finally!), and connect with marine managers and conservationists! 🇿🇦
