Hectic few weeks as I'm running around to pack the last things for my research voyage to #Antarctica in January! Hopefully, this will be enough tape... Who knows?! #bucketscience 🧪⚒️🦑

Check out this spotlight on neurodiversity in ocean sciences 🌊! Over the years, I met so many thriving neurodiverse people in ocean research, who significantly advance the field if they get the support they need and deserve ❤️ 🧪🦑⚒️ tos.org/oceanography...

Happy #AntarcticaDay! I took the day to plan my next trip south on the Italian icebreaker #RVLauraBassi at the end of January😍🐧🥳. I feel very privileged to keep returning to this beautiful continent💙 Here are some pics of the northwestern Ross Sea from last season. 🧪🌎⚒️🦉

Opening my emails this morning to find random #pyrosome pics people thought I'd appreciate. Love it!!😂😍 #marinebiologistthings 🧪🦑🌎

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph. November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.

On my reading list this morning: how plumes produced by #DeepSeaMining can affect jellyfish! 🧪🦑🌏⚒️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The next #SouthernOcean ❄️🌊 voyage is finally confirmed!! Will sample 🦐 zooplankton and water within the Ross Sea polynya and along the ice shelf in February 2024! Does anybody need samples? Already collecting extra salps, jellyfish and pteropods for collaborators in Germany and Australia! 🧪🦑⚒️🌎

Submit your work by this Friday!!! I'm keen to see all the beautiful ways to visualise your Southern Ocean data! 🌊❤️ 🧪🦑⚒️🌏

Together with the amazing @stephaniematthews.bsky.social, we show zooplankton diversity in the North Pacific related to depth and biogeography. Our #NSFfunded research uses samples from a cruise I was onboard in 2012! We rescued them from storage, and here we are! Recycle-Reuse-Publish!

Interested in changes 📈 in Southern Ocean ecosystems ❄️? Check out this report that summarises the work of more than 200 scientists (including myself 😌) for policymakers! Lots of great infographics, too! Let me know if you have any questions. Direct link: zenodo.org/records/8359... 🧪🦑⚒️🌏

Want to support #kakapo recovery? Adoptions are open again! These make a big difference to the #conservation work we’re able to do. www.doc.govt.nz/adopt-a-kakapo #parrots #birds

Currently reading a new review by Lilly et al. 2023 on pyrosome ecology! So much is still unknown about physiology, drivers of bloom formation, ecology and their impact on the carbon cycle. Great paper! 🧪🦑🐙🌏 Read it here: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Interested in biological data from time series around Australia? 🧪🦑⚒️🐙 The Biological Ocean Observer helps to visualise IMOS data on microbes, phytoplankton, zooplankton, larval fish and environmental properties. Super easy to download data as well! More information: imos.org.au/news/newsite...

@earth-science.bsky.social could you add me to the ⚒️ feed, please 🥺

This was the first time I'd ever seen hummingbirds in my life! 🦉🐤🐦 It was so much fun to explore Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay during my US trip last month ❤️

Here's a great paper I discovered recently: Lin and Kawagucci (2023) used a hydrophone to listen to singing migrating fish 🐟 and marine mammals🐋 in the deep sea. How cool is that?! Link: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Love data visualisation and infographics? Working on the impact of climate change on the Southern Ocean? Consider submitting your designs to the SCAR EG-ABI data visualisation competition and win up to USD $ 600! More info here: www.scar.org/scar-news/eg...

Terrible news from a study out today on emperor penguins in the Antarctic during November 2022: "This is the first recorded incident of a widespread breeding failure of emperor penguins that is clearly linked with large-scale contractions in sea ice extent." 🧪⚒️

On the one hand, I should do #science. On the other hand, there is now a live webcam in one of the nesting boxes in the little blue #penguin colony at NIWA Wellington. Tough decision! Watch the live feed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i89AYGekG6Y

Hey @danirabaiotti.bsky.social, could I be added to What's Science?
