The rWright Lab at Smith College closed shop in '22. Rachel is moving back to TX to be closer to family. Thanks everyone! Stay in touch.

Yesterday @its_RWright presented a practical guide to DEI for undergrads in eco research from @BonnSci et al. We had a great chat about what traits promote success in science, and we were reminded of this great graphic depiction of imposter syndrome. https://t.co/fMk6gWzZWp

Last week at rWright lab journal club, Nicole presented on @MikeD_Fox's and Anne Cohen's exciting #research letter on increasing coral reef resilience through marine heatwaves #corals

@smangubhai Image shines the light on what an inclusive (and diverse) view of scientific impact looks like.

At @rWrightLab journal club this week, JoyAnne Joseph and Kadin Kristjansson presented @VLTLive 2004 paper on the African Americans’ perspective of psychotherapy and psychotherapists. What can we do to #destigmatize therapy in the African American community ?

At @rWrightLab journal club this week, @dj_kelly0116 presented on @NIH's paper on the difference in telomere length between Black and White women aged 45-55, and they found that telomere length in Black women is ~7.5 years shorter. What can we do to change this?

At @rWrightLab journal club this week,
@giovanna_sylvia presented on @CorreaLab and @c_grupstra's paper about corallivore poop as hotspots for live Symbiodiniaceae, w/ cell densities 5-7 orders of mag than the surrounding water and sediment #research #rwrightlab #corals

[rWright Lab @rWrightLab]

In the rWright Lab journal club this week, @QCeluzza presented on a recent @CoralSERT_NMMBA paper on the effects of nutrient stress on cnidarian symbiosis & mortality - using #Exaiptasia ! We had a fantastic conversation. So excited to see where their #research goes from here

We're happy to share the honors thesis work of @smithcollege undergrad Emma Kelley '20! Corals from @FGBNMS showed variation in lesion formation after Vibrio challenge and growth rates over a year in the lab. https://t.co/AtomefDpNA

Check out JAR (Journal of At Home Research) !!

[Dr. Rachel Wright @its_RWright]

The latest breaking science presented to you by JAR. "Office Supplies vs. Actual Friggin' Toys: A Paired Choice Analysis." Dr. Anita Break conducts rigorous analysis to inform toy manufacturers about what kids find most enticing in a lawless hellscape. https://t.co/g2lusqhfXB

We're excited to get new ROS stress assays going in the lab! We have some issues with super high background fluorescence. If anyone has experience using cellROX on cnidarian tissue/symbiont cultures, please let us know! #thesis #labwork #rwrightlab #corals #anemones

Last week in the rWright lab's journal club, Joanne presented on @duarteoceans et al. recent work on anthropogenic effects on marine soundscapes. The implications for cnidarians are an interesting area for further research.

Last week in the rWright Lab journal club @its_RWright presented @pacleves et al. work on heat stress in #aiptasia. We especially look forward to learning more about the timing of bleaching & potential cost of symbiosis https://t.co/YiwT7mv7T2

Hot Hands Super Warmers are the exact size of a six well plate in case anyone was wondering. In related news, @rWrightLab students are wanting to start a satirical "journal" of at-home research. Stay tuned and consider submitting! 😂

Totally in love with the new lab logos (Yes, plural... we couldn't pick a fav) by talented Smith College artist t.plueto 🤩🌊 https://t.co/6bBoylOHUD
