What if he rapture did actually happen but nobody qualified? #rapture

I know its been an minute but here are some baby lemon #sharks ATTCKING out BRUV in the United States Virgin Islands. We are tracking and surveying these little buggers across 4 islands, 2 countries, 9 embayments. #caribbean #science #seagrass #habitat #ocean #conservation #USVI #fisheries

A write up on our work in the US Virgin Islands.

Science Makes the U.S. a Great Nation

Oh the places you will go. Got my lost bag!

When your reciever magnet is in your lost luggage. You improvise! #tracking #marinelife #ocean #fish #capecod

For the Past week we have been lucky enough to study a Nurse Shark Breeding Aggregation in the British Virgin Islands. This is one breeding event I was lucky enough to document via Drone. It was NUTS. #shark #science #habitat #ocean #marinelife #ocean #Caribbean @gacasselberry.bsky.social

No coitus interruptus for these two. But we did tag 2 nurse sharks today! #shark #marinelife #ocean #nonprofit ❤️😈😬😉

Shark number 40. This baby lemon on Anegada getting it's transmitter. In the past few weeks the team and I have tagged 40 sharks of 4 different species. Two territories. 4 islands. So many questions. #shark #marinelife #ocean #nonprofit #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈 🦑 🌊 🧪 🌍 🦠

In the BVI and caught our first Lemon pup.

After a good day of catching baby sharks. A skinny legs burger in Coral bay StJ is perfect. #shark #marinelife #ocean #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈 🦑 🌊 🧪 🌍 🦠

Fintastic day in Coral Bay. 5 blacktip and 6 lemon sharks out! #shark #marinelife #ocean #nonprofit #ocean #carribean #marine #biologist

Fish At Pretty Good Place In Its Life Right Now theonion.com/fish-at...

I BRUV YOU! This determined nurse shark at our BRUV on St thomas USVI yesterday was a very big fan of the mackerel in the tube. #shark #marinelife #ocean #fish #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

Word of the day is "Bycatch" refering to the unintentional capture of non-target species. During our juvy #shark long line survey we captured this beauty of an African Pompano. The conservationist in me cringes at bycatch but the fish Biologist get excited! #marinelife #ocean #fish #carribean 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

To tag a #shark is hope to detrct a shark tomorrow.... or something! These are for tigers and nurses and lemons oh my! #carribean #marine #ocean #marinelife #ocean #fish #tracking #Science #fieldbiology 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

I give the same face when someone tries to measure my Girth! A 94 cm female lemon🍋 tagged and released in st thomas this friday. #shark #habitat #ocean #carribean #marinelife 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

They take away CANCER RESEARCH MONEY and are trying to fund THIS

“fish fear me” fish:

It's bby #shark season and with a new project = new questions Like does the increase in #sargassum effect baby sharks? Btwn 06-12 we studied a nursery area for juvenile blktip & lemon sharks in Coral Bay St John Today I redeployed an acoustic reciever in the core area for YOY blktips It was gross.

Busy busy. Another 12 hour days but with 18 recievers deployed today and testing our the New BRUV design. Here is your moment of Zen. #shark #ray #ocean #carribean #marine #biologist #field 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

Label your shit! Got a call from a beach goer today! Found a lost reciever from my #whiteshark work that just leaves (to many to admit) left to recover. He was kind enough to drop it off at my office while I'm in the islands for sharking! #shark #tracking #Science #fieldbiology #capecod

"Oh you must be at the beach" Day5 of 45. 6-5 aka shrt day Reviewed thesis proposal; current MS Stdnt Comments on a manuscript; last MS Stdnt Design an acoustic array; sent too collaborators. Built a BRUV, surgery table, and rigging for acoustic recievers. 7am we #shark NOT A VK 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

Tagged in December. A 12 ft female tiger #shark stayed in a small territory until about 3.5 weeks ago it started heading north! It is sitting in about 21c water right now! @gacasselberry.bsky.social #marinelife #ocean #fish #tracking 🦈🦑🌊🧪🌍🦠

In addition to being a #shark biologist ~2x a year I lead trips for an #LGBTQ #scuba company @gayscuba.bsky.social My Bahamas trip during the 1st week of November was featured in the latest scuba diving magazine. Hit me up with any questions about the lqbtq dive community. #ocean #nature

The mission: 50 yoy (lemon and blacktip) with acoustic tags (ATs) 29 juv-adult #shark with ATs 6 parrotfish with ATs 3 tigers with SPOTs 3 tigers with PSAT 137 recievers 4 Islands 2 Territories 3 Non-Profits 2 Universities 1 post doc 1 MS #carribean #science 🧪🦑🌊🦈🤿🌍 @gacasselberry.bsky.social

The journey begins to the Virgin Islands for 6 weeks of shark tagging. Sites in the USVI have not been surveyed in 15-20 years. Juvenile census will be conducted on St Thomas, St John, Tortola & Anegada. #shark #science #carribean @gacasselberry.bsky.social

Its pathetic!

Maybe there is a good billionaire?

As the attack on marine science and the dismantling of science. Many of us are having a very hard time. Please do not placate us by telling us how "amazing" our job is. How you wish you could be a marine biologist. Anything that dismisses our current emotions. Be empathetic but not reductive.

I don't drink wine but if I did #sharksnearme

I am starting my journey home after visiting the #USVI and the #BVI getting ready for #shark season 25' Last year, we tagged in the BVI 120 individual sharks (7 spp). Including this 12-foot female tiger shark that surfaced just a few miles east of where I was sleeping this morning! 🧪🦑🌊🌍🤿🦈🦠

The book I write that nobody will read will be FULL of spelling errors but fascinating! #adventures #shark #science 🦈🧪🦑🌊🌍🤿

I am obsessed with the penguin Gadsden flag

Yesterday's announcement canceling MARC, PREP, IMSD & IRACDA finally broke me. Spent most of the morning in my office crying. I think I'd been clinging to a glimmer of hope, but as an IRACDA alum,watching the the scale of loss for young scientists was heartbreaking. 🧪 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...

There they are! The sweet melon in the air is their food. With their mouths wide open they skim the surface! #rightwhales #endangered #capecod #ocean #marinelife 🌊🧪🦑🌍

That. RIGHT there. This is my attempt at a selfie from the beaches of #provincetown of surface feeding North Atlantic #RightWhales just 2 miles from my apartment. #capecod #whale #newengland #ocean #marinelife #endangered #narw

For a presentation I am giving, I made a wordcloud of the titles of the NIH grants that were canceled. It is clear about the unscientific goals of this administration

We have know #sharks make #sound since the 1975 work of J. Williams. Altering between F and F sharp the rapid acceleration indicates an upcoming #sharkattack #jaws #jawstheme #movie #science #marinelife #ocean 🌊🧪🦑🌍🤿

Supplies for SHARKING are arriving! Planned are 82 acoustic tags to implant, >100 acoustic receivers to record them. Targets are Tiger, Nurse and baby lemon sharks and will tag additional species caught during these efforts in both the British and US Virgin Islands concurrently! More to come

Imagine if those funds went to paying students, technicians, or postdocs to do more research. 🧪

A cardinal.... (sign of hope, renewal, and a message from loved ones who have passed away, or a reminder of their presence) just hit my window (a sign of impending change, a message from a deceased loved one, or a reminder to pay attention). Running with it as its a better all vibe than lately!

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...
