Algal ciguatoxin identified as source of ciguatera poisoning in the Caribbean. A great team effort! https://t.co/DoZ4zsAnLh

It’s always interesting to hear about traditional fishing practices and experiences in the research we do. Sometimes you just have to be willing to talk to people and you can learn a lot more than any sample will ever tell you. #ciguapire #ciguacohh #fisheries #marinescience

Collecting seaweed for @CiguaPire in St Lucia - looking forward to “seeing” what/who all lives on these thalli. Did I mention that we have an awesome team of 10 #WomenInSTEM #WomeninScience? @phycotoxins @UTMSI

Great job in which the in vivo effects of ciguatoxin-related compounds have been investigated using internationally adopted guidelines for the testing of chemicals.
In addition, #Gambierone and #MTX3 were purchased from #CIFGA!

Are you an early career researcher in the ocean and/or climate sciences, and haven't been invited to review a paper? Drop me a line. I've started editing for @theAGU's GRL and we always need more reviewers!

@GBullerjahn So bummed I couldn’t make it! #cyanoscience

[Alison Robertson (she/her) @phycotoxins]

@TrexLab So sorry to hear this Todd. What an amazing person to have as a big brother.

[Arash Zamyadi @ArashZamyadi]

Super excited to work with @t_kaloudis as co-guest editors for @Toxins_MDPI special issue "management of #cyanobacteria & cyanotoxins in #water": https://t.co/rP597Yvioe submit your amazing manuscripts!

Did you know it takes up to 20 minutes to refocus on a task after being interrupted?

That’s why it’s so important to be intentional with our time.

Fantastic to join this distinguised pannel and share the momentum for #climatesmart #MPAs at the #COP26 #EUOceanDay. The impact of missing #1.5 will be dire for the ocean, but not all is lost yet. Thank you to @RemiParmentier for chairing & @ocean_climate for leading.🐋🙌

@BezaTuga @beck_ayeee Congrats! What was your dissertation on? We are always looking for great post-docs who embrace our love of chemistry!

[Alison Robertson (she/her) @phycotoxins]

Also, many other projects available, so let me know if interested or looking for interdisciplinary science opportunities!

One of the clearest barometers of curiosity is how often you share ideas and insights with others.

A hallmark of discovery is bursting with excitement to tell people what you've found.

Frequent enthusiasm about communicating knowledge is a sign of intellectual engagement.

[Susan David, Ph.D. @SusanDavid_PhD]

Courage at its most powerful is rarely loud.

Mostly it's a whisper:
those moments every day when you do what matters.

[Alison Robertson (she/her) @phycotoxins]

@SerenaTucci 100%….still wondering when it stops feeling like that. It’s a bit of a self perpetuating thing though because at some point you realize you are accomplishing a lot more that should be humanly possible…and that feels pretty great. Exhausting, but great!
