Excited to share that I've recently started my tenure as a member of the IOC @unesco.org Global Ocean Oxygen Network (#GO2NE) Expert Working Group!

I am honored to be a part of this group and look forward to all our work on the Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) 🌊 .

My REU in 2011 helped me understand I had a path in research. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring several REU’s, many of whom have gone onto grad school or scientific careers. The gutting of these programs will have a devastating impact for many years.

Many of the (great) starter packs focus on faculty in different fields. In an effort to help #EarlyCareerResearchers in #marine biology, ecology, evolution, & related fields (re-)connect, here is a list of ECRs. Please give them a follow (and reply to be added or suggest people). go.bsky.app/KhWvT4u
How is massive #coral growth impacted by highly variable dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature gradients across a #seagrass bed? 🪸🌡️🫧

Read our new publication out today in PLOS ONE to find out how these highly variable environments can serve as natural laboratories!

Looking forward to sharing the preliminary results from the past year of my postdoc with the Smithsonian Marine Station at #OSM24!

Stop by Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry poster 788 tomorrow from 4-6pm to learn more about multi-stressor impacts of deoxygenation on Caribbean corals.

Please spread the word about 3 tenure track, hard-money microbiome faculty positions. These are well-resourced, come with their own grants, few teaching requirements (but lots of opportunities), potential footprint in our marine lab.

New Publication Alert!

Super fun collaboration from my time in the Florida Keys as a postdoc at Mote! We studied reef macroalgae responses (...or lack of!) to ocean acidification. Amazing collaborators + interesting results...what more can you ask for?
Effects of ocean acidification on growth and photophysiology of two tropical reef macroalgae
Macroalgae can modify coral reef community structure and ecosystem function through a variety of mechanisms, including mediation of biogeochemistry through photosynthesis and the associated production...
