Here at @SeacoastSciCtr for the 2023 Bio blitz! Representing team seaweed of course!
Finishing up New England Rapid Assessment Survey 2023! Collected and identified lots of cool algae with a great team of people. 🌊🌿 #PhycologyFriday
Happy #phycologyfriday! Today I successfully defended my PhD thesis, entitled "The ecology, biology, and biogeography of Dasysiphonia japonica in the southern Gulf of Maine." So excited to be done! #PhDone #UNH

The N. Atlantic's marine heatwave is remarkable. Up to 14 degrees above normal!! Besides global warming, the weather pattern helping to produce this anomaly has had a part in disrupting the Atlantic hurricane season. Marine heat wave days have more than doubled since 1900 and 1/2
Could I get some ID help/confirmation on this new-to-me brown #algae on this lovely #phycologyfriday? Small, irregular branching, covered in fine hairs. I was thinking Stilophora tenella?
Excited to be here at #NEAS2022!
Just got started with great talk on invasive #seaweed modeling distributions now and in future by @OBrien_Algae #NEAS2022

This time next Friday... we'll be in Burlington! And even though it's a freshwater-themed meeting, there will be plenty of marine science. And maybe sea shanties. We don't know! Anything could happen!
My proudest accomplishment - the logo I designed for #BEM2022 is now available as a holographic sticker! ✨✨✨ @BenthicEcology
Last week I took a short trip to San Diego and got to spend some time geeking out at the Point Loma tidepools! So many beautiful seaweeds, all new to me! Even some baby Macrocystis! #phycologyfriday #algae 🌊🌿❤️
