This is how the Japanese do lab work! @Harii_Lab – at Motobu-cho, Okinawa
After an awesome half year visit @DavyLabNZ and successful coral spawning in Okinawa, now enjoying the great hospitality of @WeisLab and getting exciting new experiences @OregonState #symbiosis #endlesssummer

Successful two weeks teaching the Tropical Marine Conservation course as part of the Masters program at @VicUniWgtn. Nth Stradbroke Island and Heron Island covering seagrass, mangrove, and coral reef ecosystems.

A little snippet of my first coral spawn event, starring Acropora tenuis. It makes me appreciate corals even more, so beautiful! #coral – at Motobu-cho, Okinawa

By popular request from @its_RWright I give you the #AstrangiaThings interpretative "dance" because science is serious #Astrangia #omnomnom

Probably the best data visualization of atmospheric CO2 level rise I have seen. Clearly demonstrates how monitoring changed from a few isolated sites in the 80's to capturing global patterns youtube.com/watch?v=Yb3NsMJ-…

Metabolomics study out by @JenMatthews87 and @DavyLabNZ showing non-native symbionts in anemone hosts don't pass carbon to host. Great job! #Symbiosis #Aiptasia Partner switching and metabolic flux in a model cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis rspb.royalsocietypublishing.…

It's out! Our latest study reveals different physiological responses to different symbiont species, suggesting algal symbionts contribute much more to coral hosts than fixed carbon, modifying host metabolism & probably fitness #metabolomics @RSocPublishing rspb.royalsocietypublishing.…

On Sunday we celebrated Ruth Gates. Her ashes were scattered by family and close friends from the Hōkūleʻa. The intimate ceremony was surrounded by boats with everyone scattering flowers into the ocean to wish her farewell. Her enthusiasm and love of the ocean will live on.

It will take 3 to 7 million years for mammals to recover the evolutionary diversity that humans have destroyed. That’s more than 10x longer than our species has existed for. Grim estimates from a new study: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Descriptions for 3 new Caribbean #Breviolum species (2 of which we can add to the long list of species sharing the B1 ITS2 type): B. faviinorum, B. meandrinium, and B. dendrogyrum. Congrats @AllisonMLewis & @andiechan13! #Symbiodiniaceae @PSUScience Paper: bit.ly/2y7Stan

After quite a few requests, we've put together a #Symbiodiniaceae Style Guide with examples of how to incorporate the new taxonomic names when writing a paper. Is your question not addressed? Just ask and we'll add it to the next version. Link: bit.ly/2MIyZ0w

Thanks for having me @uwaoceans - I really enjoyed the #eDNA chats!
Great talk by @wilkinshau to @uwaoceans marine ecology group on all things #eDNA and how to turn a hotel bathroom into a genetics lab

Thanks to the very kind Prof. Bunce I'll be back in the @Curtin_TrEnD lab for the next week or so doing some #bioinformatics. Anyone down there keen to chat about #eDNA #metabarcoding, especially the "taxonomic classification problem", please hit me up!

Two postdocs available in the Madin Labs at Hawaii Inst of Marine Biology: 1) Applying emerging technologies to understand human impacts on coral reefs; 2) Quantitative coral reef ecology & biomechanics. Due Oct 20. ow.ly/HFys30lw7zy & ow.ly/uiOv30lw82L @himb_soest
