@CassieHoepner from @savenemo is using proteomic & metabolomic analyses for her PhD to find out the molecular composition of #anemonefish mucus & how it allows for the formation of the iconic symbiosis between #anemonefish and their venomous #anemone host

Huge congrats @CassieHoepner!

Congratulations to @CassieHoepner from @savenemo for being awarded a grant from @EcolSocAus Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment towards her PhD providing insight into the evolution of the relationship between anemonefish and anemones

Very inspiring talk by ⁦@salty_daSilva⁩ ⁦@FlindersCSE⁩ #EqualforEqual #IWD2020 at lab coat challenge event @Flinders. Great to see our Flinders alumni doing so well.

We recently attended the Caring for Clownfish program at Boyne Island Environmental Education Centre. This captive breeding program advocates for a sustainable #Reef by enabling students to learn how to breed and care for clownfish and provide stock to aquariums stores.

#ArtificialLightAtNight is known to disrupt circadian rhythms of many animals, including humans! But what impact does this have on #clownfish physiology? We are about to find out!

[Dr Emily Fobert @emilyfobert]

Lab is setup and ready to creep on #clownfish. Data collection for #ALAN #physiology study is now underway!

Celebrating the hugely successful Honours seminar and viva by superstar Toby Patti! Toby compared microplastic sampling methods to find the best one, and applied this to assess microplastic abundance & accumulation patterns around a populated island in the Maldives. Great work!

Yanuca island in Fiji has a vibrant community and beautiful reefs. Willy, an avid environment lover on the island is keen to get involved with some #citizenscience so we’ve sent an #ICANEMONE trial pack to the island. So excited for the Yanuca to be involved. #marineconservation

[Saving Nemo @savenemo]

We’re excited to announce that the first Fijian IC-ANEMONE snorkel trail has been launched at @VolivoliBeach 🐠 Josh and Jah worked hard to set up this trial of 10 tagged anemones to help us assess reef health and save Nemo! #keepwildfishfree #conservation #citizenscience

[Saving Nemo @savenemo]

By simply taking photos of clownfish and their anemones along our snorkel trails you can help us assess anemone bleaching and recovery rates in the wild. We’re setting up trails now at @VolivoliBeach in Fiji. #CitizenScience #conservation #marinebiology #ocean #climatechange

Tickets for this years fundraising luncheon are on sale! Join us at the beautiful @Ngeringa Winery for an afternoon of delicious #food and #wine, all while helping to Save #Nemo. See you there! 🍕🍷☀️🐠💙 @AdelaideEvents @whatsoninad #Adelaide #Biodynamic #WineForNemo

[Dr Cassie Hoepner @CassieHoepner]

Back in the lab sampling anemone #venom for upcoming #proteomic analysis! @Flinders @ParisBates94

[SB on Leadership @SBLeaders]

Many of us think of a movie when we hear the name "Nemo." We learned yesterday from @sigmaxisociety and @smartbrief that @savenemo is researching how light pollution may be harming REAL #clownfish. Maybe their work will help them just keep swimming. https://t.co/hgZBA6BXv7

10 News reporting on our new research showing #lightpollution interferes with #clownfish reproduction. @emilyfobert @Flinders https://t.co/8A1coEnF4i

[The Lead SA @TheLeadSA]

#Aussie conservation organisation @savenemo that protects #clownfish and #CoralReefs has discovered a new threat. https://t.co/yo14IRSfD7

[9News Adelaide @9NewsAdel]

A long-running local research project to @savenemo has made a discovery about a new threat facing the colourful clownfish. #9News

[Saving Nemo @savenemo]

New research from our group shows another threat facing #clownfish and #CoralReefs.

[Dr Emily Fobert @emilyfobert]

Fantastic coverage in @NatGeo of our new research on #LightPollution and #clownfish reproduction, out today in Biology Letters. @burke_da @TheFSBI @Flinders @FlindersMedia @UniMelbscicomm @unimelb

So excited to chat about biology, @savenemo and #WomenInSTEM to yr 9 girls at the @Flinders STEM Enrichment Academy conference this week! Encouraging the next generation of scientists and empowering girls to pursue their dreams. Thanks to @FlindersSTEM & @ParappillyMaria

[Saving Nemo @savenemo]

Did you know there are 28 species of #clownfish? We’ve found 5 here on #RawaIsland #Malaysia. How many can you name? #FunFishFact #Nemo #OceanConservation
