Please share broadly! Summer research experience in marine biology and statistical ecology that will take students to Woods Hole, the University of Kansas, and the ESA meeting in Portland during the 9 week program. @USLTER @LterSbc @UCLA @ucsantabarbara @CERFScience @aslo_org

@MatthewHHess And does bull kelp --> macro happen often?!

[Nikka Malakooti @nikkooti]

@MatthewHHess Matt, so cool! Where is this happening?

[Frankie Gerraty @Symbioecologist]

Are you a biologist/land manager/naturalist in the western US (Texas-Montana and west) with porcupine observations? Could be data from camera trap pics, roadkill observations, etc. If so, please get in touch via DM! #porcupine #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #cameratrap thanks!

[Nikka Malakooti @nikkooti]

@Symbioecologist Welcome! Cool question, I'll let you know if I find other examples!

[Nikka Malakooti @nikkooti]

@Symbioecologist lol maybe not dogs, my brain saw terrestrial carnivores and replaced it with dogs for some reason😅. Still terrestrial to marine, sorry!

[Nikka Malakooti @nikkooti]

@Symbioecologist How about phocine distemper virus? The idea is that PDV evolved from CDV bec of contact between dogs/seals (although I'm not super familiar). Here's a review I found https://t.co/fg9xA9WdA3

Anyone wanna help us with a community-based kelp restoration project Aug 28th-29th? You'll get to dive in beautiful Port Orford OR, free housing, and very likely fresh fish tacos. They've been a blast so far! Lemme know if you have Qs! https://t.co/YgwmpgbsS3

[Benjy Renton @bhrenton]

Thinking a lot about the fall semester at U.S. colleges and the best GIF that can describe it is this.

[Nikka Malakooti @nikkooti]

@melissa_cronin @Roy_Bntz Awesome! 😍

[Priya Nanjappa @ToadallyPriya]

Just sort of felt like we all needed this right now. Sound on!

[🦈Shark Lady🦈 @soFISHtication]

Students applying for grad school, I have a dash of advice for you:
1- being annoying and email those professors again. They may not have seen the first email.
2- talk to the students of the lab you want to join. They’ll be honest.
3- ask about funding. Always.

Y’all got this👏🏽
