The saddest compilation video I have ever made. But perhaps also the most positive if it causes a reduction in plastic pollution in 2024. In once pristine seas, every nearshore plankton sample I now collect contains plastic microfibers. (Sound On) @zeiss_micro

Do this worm's peepers catch your eye?

They certainly did for Natasha Hynes (@newfoundmermaid), who zoomed in on a tiny creature to share a big part of ocean life.

Read about her photo, then go vote for it in @NSERC_CRSNG's Science Exposed contest!

My cat was meowing at the door when I left for work, so my partner promptly informed him that he cannot come to work with me b/c he can't do the core tasks of my job:

1. Count plankton
2. Move stuff around
3. Write emails

No need for my CV, please just refer to the above.

Dear @UNBSJMBA students: I really enjoyed meeting with you today to learn what you want from your @UNBSJ_GSA!

I would be honored to serve as President of your Graduate Student Association. Please #vote for me when elections open next week! 🗳️

On July 15, a critically endangered #NorthAtlanticRightWhale was seen entangled by a multi-organizational research team led by Dalhousie University. Aquarium scientists were able to confirm the identity of the whale as Catalog #4042.

@willbeatty84 Jealous!!!!

[Natasha Hynes 👩‍🔬🦈 @newfoundmermaid]

1st photo is part of a siphonophore colony and the 2nd is a jelly that I don't know the name of yet ☺️ both of these species break apart very easily in net samples, so being able to see them in all their glory in underwater photos is 👩‍🍳😘

Do you know any teenage girls who are passionate about nature photography or filmmaking?

I’m joining @GirlsWhoClick to run a free workshop for girls female identifying youth (13-18 year olds).

Hope to see you July 9th!

#eDNA samples have been used to verify presence/absence of a species in an environment, but ⁦@melissakmor⁩ shows us how (w/ proper calibrations) this technique can estimate #salmon abundance! A huge step for #genetics & population assessments! 🧬🐟 https://t.co/LBkKxnaxmo

[Sara Petrita Bombaci (she/her) @SPBombaci]

Every year I give my students an assignment where they can blend their creativity with any topic covered in class. Many students make memes, and the memes for my wildlife data collection and analysis course this year are on point. Get ready for nerdy population modeling memes! 🧵

@finstacodesUNB @NSERC_CRSNG Not at all 😂😂

[UNB Research @UNBResearch]

Say "hello!" to a little friend!

(And then head over to @NSERC_CRSNG's #Scienceexposed to vote for your favourite from among the finalists - which include this great image from @UNB student Natasha Hynes.)

[Natasha Hynes 👩‍🔬🦈 @newfoundmermaid]

I'm pretty sure she immediately regretted it because I basically kicked her out of her own station until I got the lighting and focus as perfect as I could 😁

I'm grateful to have a way to show the world what I see under my microscope, like this little worm 🪱 (3/3)

This photo is from the #zooplankton samples I collected for my MSc, but I have been working with zooplankton for several years. I remember the first time I used a #microscope with a camera attachment at my lab supervisor's station. (2/3)
