Enjoying Kinlan Jan’s PhD defense at DEEP @stockholm-uni.bsky.social. Great work, impressed opponent!

Lucia campus!

It was great to come and visit!

@umeaunimarine.bsky.social Thanks for hosting me - great seeing your impressive field station and happy to share my research with you!

#mycampus. Let’s see yours!

Blir gäddor i fredningsområden mindre skygga, och hur påverkar detta isf ekosystemet i grunda havsvikar? Detta studerar doktorand Emil Kraft och masterstudent Alexander nu i sommar, vilket uppmärksammades av @svtnyheter.bsky.social : www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

I wish more highly successful researchers would do what @lovedalen.bsky.social did here: reveal how much effort, and repeated rejection, that typically precedes each success in science. Never give up.

Vad händer med upptag och utsläpp av växthusgaser när havens ekosystem störs? Detta är en fråga vi i sommar studerat på Askölaboratoriet, vilket nu uppmärksammats i bl.a. i Rapport: @svtnyheter.bsky.social : www.svt.se/nyheter/loka... @ostersjocentrum.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Modelbased for Quick and Beautiful Model Visualization in #rstats imachordata.com/2025/07/25/m... Thanks, @easystats.github.io!

New paper alert; we, led by @tiinasalo.bsky.social show experimentally that warming strengthens the cascading effects of predator phenotypic variation: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec....

Fascinating paper on something I never thought of: When we remove big old animals from wild populations (like fish) we might be losing important cultural transmission in species that learn from elders - Essentially culling transmission of collective knowledge onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Pushing the research front forward… What happens with GHG fluxes in shallow-bay benthic communities with infauna vs grazers - plus warming? @coastclim.bsky.social @balticseacentre.bsky.social with @nascimentofj.bsky.social

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️

home after some very fun, inspiring days at @hifmb.de symposium. Chatted with amazing peers like @jillianmpetersen.bsky.social, @ibaums.bsky.social, Martin Lindegren etc, and also presented our ongoing work in the Baltic Sea. Thank you so much @hillebr1.bsky.social for the invititation!

🚀 New paper led by Dr Becks Spake! We make the case for precision ecology—using big data & predictive tools to tailor conservation actions to local contexts. Can ecology learn from medicine & marketing to boost impact? We think so. Read it here: rdcu.be/eoaR4 #Conservation #Ecology #BigData

Starting here in the best way: presenting a new paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Have a look at our new proposed way of calculating response diversity when multiple environmental drivers change simultaneously.

Was just asked to review a non-political research grant proposal to a call funded by 2 countries whose politics I don’t support. Tricky to decide whether to accept the task or not. Thoughts?

Easter campus in spring colors

Uni Oldenburg is starting a genomics facility, and we are looking for a bioinformatician. uol.de/en/job/bioin... The position is initially for 3 years, but there are chances of permanency after the 3 years. Please share!

#Seaweed farming has many potential benefits, but scaling these farms cannot be at the expense of other habitats (e.g. #seagrass) that support people! In our short letter, me, @eklof.bsky.social, @zosterar.bsky.social & others discuss why caution is needed. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

revising a lecture on disturbances in tropical seagrasses, and recall having read a quote where early European explorers found hundreds of manatees grazing on seagrass somewhere in tropical western Atlantic, and that the seagrass looked like a golf lawn. Ring any bells? @boardshortsben.bsky.social

One of the most important things you can do today is your science. Knowing calculus/physics/genetics/chemistry etc. makes you rare and the world will need you to rebuild tomorrow. Practice your skills and pass them on. Keep the flame alive. 💚🌱🧪

Our new Nature paper on the multi-dimensional contributions of small scale fisheries just dropped www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We find that SSF supply ~40% of global fish catch worth >$77billion, with knock on benefits that support numerous sustainable development goals. A truly monumental effort

Just finished reading this fab new paper by @andypurvisnhm.bsky.social Bending the curve of #biodiversity loss requires a 'satnav' for nature royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.... The satnav analogy helps to focus on forward-looking course corrections to our conservation policy + actions

In a new study in @icesmarine.bsky.social journal led by Serena Donadi, we show that herring is an underestimated piscivore and that the herring decline in the Baltic Sea may have contributed to the increase in three-spined stickleback: academic.oup.com/icesjms/adva...

Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant fishes in the world. In two new studies, we show that some herring in the Baltic Sea have become fish eaters. These piscivorous herring are genetically unique, grow fast, and play an important role in regulating stickleback populations.

I stare at numbers of fish counts, wishing I could myself count more fish.

The curious case of piscivorous herring in the Baltic Sea

@rarlinghausfish.bsky.social great to see you here as well!

Hey folks! Interested in seagrass and other coastal submerged aquatic planty things? This starter pack is for you! It’s small for now, so hit me up if you’d like to be added! go.bsky.app/Jk81YjR

Are you interested in the #restoration of marine ecosystems? I'm co-chairing a @icesmarine.bsky.social Workshop on Nature Restoration (WKREST) in March, join if you're interested! www.ices.dk/community/gr...

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Welcome, @boardshortsben.bsky.social ! Everyone - meet Ben, researcher at Project Seagrass (UK), President of the World Seagrass Association and my former PhD student. One of the nicest and brightest young minds in marine conservation and social-ecological studies!

🌍🌡️📈 I think it's 'more likely than not' that 2024 will end up crossing +1.60°C. The average of the past 365 days is +1.61°C and there is no sign of significant cooling in the next weeks.

Gave a talk at interesting conference on the role of collaboration/co-production in water research and management organized by our funder Formas today. My take-home, which generated a buzz in the mingle: ”avoid collaboration fatigue among your stakeholders, who have other tasks/projects as well”

Just reached 1000 followers!!! 25% more than on Twitter, after 15 years of tweeting.

Is this the day I reach 1000 followers? The growth rate is insane; before the US election I had ca 100 followers…

The Swedish Museum of Natural History is recruiting a Senior Curator in Palaeontology (with a later possibility of promotion to Professor). Come join the vibrant palaeo-community in Stockholm!! Advertisement (click job description tab): recruit.visma.com/spa/public/a...

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

Shamelessly advertising our most recent paper from the FORCE project; connectivity benefits coastal predatory fish, but only when fish-eating top predators are absent. Result = hailed grey seal recovery facilitates an undesirable regime shift! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

*PhD opportunity*: I’ll shortly be advertising a project linking seaweed traits to blue carbon in the context of climate change. Please contact me via email (j.n.griffin at swansea. ac. uk) if potentially interested. More details to follow.

Looking forward to hear about ongoing research at the department! #DEEPsoup2024

Our department has social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram and X; post mainly about new work and jobs. Now thinking about adding BlueSky. Should we do an Xodus? How are your departments reasoning?

Heading off tomorrow for our annual department ”Spinach soup” mini symposium. 1/2

ggplot2 vs tidyplot? Go! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Next week at our department retreat I’m gonna talk about the need for failure and mistakes in science. Got any good examples of how mistakes and failure helped your process/studies?
