"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Fun news: I'm hiring a postdoc in ichthyology! Please spread the word #TeamFish, and message me if you have questions. (Job requisition id is R00107333 if LSU link below takes you elsewhere.) lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LSU/de...

I’m teaching a science communication course to our natural resources and EnviSci students this fall. I want to make a resource list of excellent SciComm examples. What are some podcasts, video series, periodicals, writers, and creators that you’re loving lately that my students should know? 🧪🦈🐟

Our #AES25 #JMIH25 symposium continues with @gacasselberry.bsky.social talking about her interdisciplinary work with recreational anglers

An absolutely incredible couple of weeks in the BVI.

Just wrapped up Chairing the board meeting for KeepFishWet.org. We just launched a 10 minute "mini lesson" on how to engage in responsible and effective catch-and-release. Download the lesson here: www.keepfishwet.org/mini-lesson

**Rapid Response Bridge Funding Program** -- $25,000 grants earmarked for early-career researchers whose NSF-funded research on STEM and education has just been terminated. www.spencer.org/grant_types/... hub.jhu.edu/2025/04/28/j... Thanks @lizneeley.bsky.social !

Cannonball jellies are so cool! I had no idea there was a species that was blue like this.

New paper! Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should. This is the *first* paper in the peer reviewed scientific literature to explain how Bluesky works and how to use it for #SciComm 🧪🦑🐠 academic.oup.com/fisheries/ad...

I’m excited to share that the final chapter of my dissertation has been published. We used multiple applications of network analysis to acoustic telemetry data to explore seasonal movements of great hammerhead sharks tagged in the FL Keys. 🧪🦈 doi.org/10.1111/jfb.70039

Thrilled to share one of my dissertation chapters is now published in Animal Behaviour! We used biologgers to quantify 3D search behavior by great hammerheads & asses how the scale and speed of searching changes over the diel cycle. 🦑🌊🧪🐟 Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

OTN’s study hall promotes a culture of open science by providing a platform for transparent discussions and problem-solving. These informal sessions on Thursdays can be a valuable resource for anyone interested in aquatic telemetry. Learn more: oceantrackingnetwork.org/study-hall/

The final chapter of my dissertation was just accepted for publication after a lengthy review process! So happy that this one will be out in the world soon.

The Trump Administration has abruptly pulled $4.5 million in Maine Sea Grant funds (via NOAA), which were used to protect Maine’s working waterfront and ocean ecosystems. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/01/m...

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Today I’m doing a little acoustic receiver inventory with @innovasea.com’s newest customer.

Lots of new folks here so I thought I’d reshare. If you’re an angler who has targeted or is planning a trip to fish for golden dorado please consider taking our survey on fishing practices. Tell your friends too! bit.ly/gdorado 🧪🌊🐟🎣

Hi Bluesky! We are BWEEMS, Black Women in Ecology, Evolution and Marine Science. A non-profit dedicated to amplifying and supporting Black women in EEMS spaces! It's nice to be here! 🐟 🪴 🐊 www.bweems.org

I'm hiring a coordinator for our #mesophotic Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) program! This exciting new project will generate unprecedented amounts of information about the biodiversity of deep reefs in the Pacific. Spread the word! us242.dayforcehcm.co...

Hi Bluesky peeps 👋🏻 I’m Grace. I’m a fish ecologist who works mainly with sharks and recreationally valuable fish species and sometimes the interactions between the two. Lately it’s tiger sharks in the USVI and striped bass here in MA. I do lots of telemetry with a dash of social science. 🐟🦈🧪🌊

Add another shark biologist to the Bluesky ranks! Joining to share what I know and learn what I don’t. 🦈 Here’s more about me for those that are interested: www.neaq.org/person/john-...

If you have fished or are planning to fish for Golden Dorado (dourado) please take our survey to contribute to improved conservation and management efforts for the species. The survey is available in Brazilian Portuguese, English, and Spanish. bit.ly/gdorado 🐟🎣🧪 Please share widely.

Here is the IUCN Red List status of 1,253 species of sharks and rays from today’s update. Without googling it, do you know the one species of shark or ray that was alive in modern times but is now extinct?

I’m excited to share that I have received an AAUW postdoctoral fellowship to expand my work on tiger sharks in the U.S. Caribbean, exploring migratory patterns and predator-prey dynamics between sharks and sea turtles with a number of collaborative partners. www.umass.edu/natural-scie...

“It has taken 30 years to get the hammerheads to the point where they are just starting to recover,” says Casselberry, “and all that work could be undone if we start killing sharks indiscriminately.” Great study & quotes from @gacasselberry.bsky.social

Shark depredation is an increasingly hot topic in recreational fisheries, especially in Florida. We studied these interactions between great hammerheads and tarpon in Bahia Honda, FL Keys, published in @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social Marine and Coastal Fisheries. 🧪 doi.org/10.1002/mcf2...

Happening today. Come join us with @fieldinclusive.bsky.social at 3 PM eastern discussing navigating chronic illness and disability as field biologists.
