Yeah, last week was a blow for the climate. Do we give up? “Don’t be a quitter! Why are we giving up on the future of life on Earth so fucking easily? Where is our tenacity? Where is our fortitude? We can do hard things.” -- @ayanaeliza.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Hey #AGU24 coral peeps! I live in DC! I’m not attending the conference but hit me up if you want to grab a coffee this week 🪸🦠

Happy to see more people joining! I’m a microbial ecologist- I specialize in marine systems, viral metagenomics, and bioinformatics. I also LOVE reviewing papers so if you’re a journal editor, hit me up! 👋🏼🌊🦠

Exciting news! The 7th International Marine Conservation Congress #IMCC7, which will be held in October in Cape Town, is now accepting abstracts! If you're not a member and not getting our emails, details on how to submit are on my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/whysharksmat... 🦑🌎🧪🐟

I’m gonna put this out here again! I like reviewing! 👋🏼

Hey #microbiome hive mind, what are your thoughts on CosmosID for metagenomics? Amplicon sequencing? Has anyone used this?

Now that I’m finally done with my PhD and had a little time to recover, I have a lot more time to review papers (which I actually enjoy!). So if you’re an editor and you’re looking for other reviewers for coral microbiomes, ecology, metagenomics, marine science, etc., add me to your list! 🪸🦠🧬

This looks cool if you’re in LA this weekend

#HiSciSky 👋🏼, I’m a marine scientist and microbiologist working primarily in 🪸 coral reef ecosystems and doing lots of viral metagenomics and bioinformatics! I just received my PhD and soon I’ll be diving into bird virus research with USGS🦠

echo “Hello, world!” 👋🏼
