VERY useful paper #lifehack:
"Empirical Definition of the Mad Buckets Magic Number: A Guide for Seagoing Scientists" by wonderful Carol Arnosti et al. @aslo_org L&O
Questions? You can also ask @GretaReintjes, she was on the cruise the study was made on!

Our paper on the collaborative efforts of folks from 20 countries to study the changing Arctic Ocean microbial communities over one full year. One year of expedition drifting with sea ice, many years of planning, and hopefully infinite ways to creatively utilize the dataset.
Delighted to share our new paper in @PLOSBiology kicking off #MosaicEcoOmics co-led with Katja Metfies @MOSAiCArctic.
Tremendous community effort to sample and sequence the central Arctic Ocean through time and space. @ueaenv @jgi #microbiome #microbes

Been photographing flying fishes all day every day. I think we’re up to 6 species now, but I’ll need to check. What a stunning group of fishes these are!

Dissertation = defended! What an incredibly surreal feeling to be finally done #PhDone – at Chapel Hill, NC

The fantastical world of the #Abyss. Revealed after 4 years of painstaking systematic work led by @LupitaBribiesc1 #NHMDeepSea @NHM_London for #DeepCCZ project by @MooreFound @NOAAResearch. 110 pages of deep-sea colour; 48 species; 39 likely new. zookeys.pensoft.net/article/…

Getting emails from amazing prospective students when I can't say yes just kills me - I want to give them more than a kind decline - if you're a #PI recruiting students for Fall 2023 add your info to this list and share so we can give them other options! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

Research can be hard, but there are ways to make it simpler.
Here are some tips for working in the lab

🦋What distinguishes the raspa silkmoth from other silkmoths? While other silkmoth species spin a silk cocoon and attach to branches or plant stems when they transition to adulthood, the raspa silkmoth metamorphoses down in the soil. (1/3)
ALT Close up of a raspa silkmoth on a black background. Its wings are stretched open. Its wings and body seem to have a fuzzy texture. It's mostly a dark yellowish-brown color; the bottom-half of its wings are a dark pink color. It has a pair of feather-like antennae atop its head.
Another great cruise on the R/V Endeavor came to a close this week. Stay tuned for more pics (now that I have a much better internet connection!)
As promised, more cruise content! We started the first day off searching for, and then collecting, Sargassum, an extremely common seaweed

Our colleagues from @MarineMicrobio then started their incubations with this Sargassum. Their goal was to measure bacterial responses to Sargassum degradation, which will help us understand the flow of carbon from Sargassum to microbes

How will Antarctic fungi respond to climate change?
A new study sheds light on how environmental conditions affect largely unexplored deep-sea fungi.

Understanding scientific jargon is hard-earned and important for communicating within our field. Finding ways of translating for a broader audience isn't "dumbing it down", rather making science more accessible
Great first session at #comscicontri
