The cumulative passion for the Arctic contained in this group is unreal! Still cannot believe my luck to have shared the last week with all these amazing humans.

#Arctic benthic #invertebrate larval assemblages comprise a mix of local & non-local taxa. A species-level survey of the #larvae using DNA metabarcoding along with particle tracking show potential for southern taxa to drift into the Arctic #FeatureArticle

@Soumaya76634792 I am not in charge of the position, I just re-tweeted something I thought was interesting. If you click on the link, you can read the application details which mentions application deadline on November 14. So there is still time :)

Cool PhD oppotunity in Norway!

@polar_biology @PlymouthMarine Aw! Indeed. Thank you!

[Prof Pennie Lindeque @LindequePk]

What a privilege to be back at UiT in Norway to act as PhD opponent to @OceanRaphaelle. Congratulations Dr Descôteaux - an excellent thesis and defense. Tromso hasn’t disappointed and great to catch up with colleagues 😊 🦀 🇳🇴 🏔

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

@minasgp @BiologiaUB Congratulations!

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

Thesis is submitted! I was kind of taken aback by the feeling that hit me when I clicked "submit". Stopped for a breath of fresh air on my way home at 6am...

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

@NadjejdaEspinel Also had no idea! Good to know!

An old student of mine @MariePedaccini is leading a project developing artificial reefs around offshore wind farms with the aim of supporting diversity of marine organisms. I'm super impressed with her :)

@GuillaumeLarocq @GEOBON_org @GBIF @threejs Amazing visualisation! Thank you for that!

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

... and we've got green-up in Tromsø! Always such a joyful time of the year!

We cannot afford slow movers, fake movers, or any form of greenwashing, in our race against the climate crisis.

The transition to net-zero must be swift, credible, just and inclusive.

@TurtonJ1990 @arcticfrontiers Great session! Thank you to the panellists for an engaging discussion. Do you think that it is important for individual scientists to reach out to policy-makers or is it more effective for a point-of-contact at the project or institutional level to bridge the science-policy gap?

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

Our energy decisions need to be in line with our long-term goals towards a healthy climate. Very interesting discussions from @arcticfrontiers 2022.

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

@mumudunn @jennylynn_h2o What a sweet idea!

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

Living on the seashore is like being on fieldwork year-round... I get to witness seasonal, even daily, changes first hand. So incredibly fun and helpful to a marine biologist!

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

Spring has arrived in northern Norway: the first wildflowers��� are piercing through the snow and the intertidal is covered in baby gastropods🐚!

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

@joana_beja Heart breaking and enraging.

[Raphaelle Descoteaux @OceanRaphaelle]

In French this sound is called 'clapotis'. 🌊 I like the word almost as much as I like the sound itself. Happy sunny spring day from northern Norway!
