Thank you, @zoedoubleday.bsky.social. May we save this wonderful animal and nature spectacle. All power to all involved! theconversation.com/the-giant-cu...

As the SA Government convenes an emergency meeting to discuss the threat of the toxic algal bloom to the Giant Australian Cuttlefish in the Spencer Gulf today, we asked cuttlefish expert @zoedoubleday.bsky.social about the population and why it is so special. #oceans #nature #cuttlefish #marine

In case you missed it, here’s what to know about the giant cuttlefish mating migration, the risk SA’s algal bloom poses to the population, and what the SA government must consider when investigating safeguards for the species. @zoedoubleday.bsky.social @aunz.theconversation.com

Let me introduce you to @louisehosking.bsky.social, a new PhD student in my lab and an ATSE Elevate Scholar. Here she is undergoing shark dissection training with her wonderful co-supervisor Bonnie Holmes. Lou will be developing geochemical methods to better understand #sharks.

@alaskapublic.org with #KUCB reports on the "the first documented case of harmful algal blooms #HABs leading to a marine mammal die-off in Alaska". #AlaskaSky 🧪🌊🦑

A harmful algal bloom of Karenia mikimotoi made dozens of surfers sick and killed seadragons, fish and octopuses on two South Australian beaches.

Sea foam is a health hazard. These bacterial smoothies can contain more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant – and you wouldn’t go swimming in sewage.

It’s my love of recycling that drew me into the world of sclerochronology… Excerpt from my blog curated by South Australian Science Teachers Association.

"Abortion was made legal underwater nearly 50 years ago in Salmon Roe v. Wave, yet there is still a stigma attached to what is no more serious a procedure than allowing a goby fish to clean the parasites from my gills." theonion.com/if-fema...

Congrats Erica Durante for publishing amazing research (+ your 4th PhD paper!). Erica developed methods to extract estrogen & progesterone from cephalopod beaks. Now we can get lifetime reproductive data from species we know little about! @aslo.org aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🦑 It's #Crinoids Day! (plus a sneak little shrimp.) Crinoids should be much more popular what the variety of colors and entirely extraneous number of legs. #Bohol #Philippines

Our one-year anniversary issue is here! As we celebrate our first year as a journal, we reflect on the incredible multidisciplinary research we've had the privilege to publish, all striving to tackle today's grand challenges #sustainability www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’m so grateful for my achievements of 2024, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Being part of FIISA while doing a PhD is challenging at times but I had a great team with me helping all time, including for PhD work + FIISA committee. Thanks to everyone involved behind the scenes 🙌💜

Congratulations @arielitristao.bsky.social for winning our Institute’s student award for your leadership as President of the PhD student association and stellar research on radiogenic isotopes (for biological applications)!

I'm loving my new @bsky.app community, so here's a little about me: science, history, culture, and travel feed my curiosity; nature and gardening give me peace; and effective writing and communication always keeps me thinking. I run a marine science lab in Australia and this is what we do:

The more we learn about parasites the more we’re amazed. I wrote about them. theconversation.com/mind-bending...

I've somehow made it onto @crikey.com.au's "2024 Shitstirrers Index Honourable Mentions"! Thanks for the nominations – what a Xmas pressie! 💩🥄 "For giving researchers across Australia info that the ARC could totally tell them, but chooses not to." [$] www.crikey.com.au/2024/12/20/r...

Here's a starting list of #biodiversity #conservation & #ecology scientific journals (including multidisciplinary journals publishing in these areas) with @bsky.app accounts Quite a large number still without an account Know any accounts I've missed? Please tell me bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm loving all the food, climate, open data & other science starter packs showing up recently. Let's build up the fisheries, aquaculture & aquatic foods community here 🐟🍤🎣 Suggest folks to add below! go.bsky.app/EeZv5UT

Brand new review paper that sums up the thing I do. In short, there is a whole lot of overlooked chemical data ready and waiting inside aquatic taxa that can be used to monitor the environment and support species and ecosystem health. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I'll go back to the early 1990's to a paper that showed that a small species of Australian shark fertilize their eggs and then pause embryonic development for 7+ months. The picture is a section through the resting blastodisc stage embryo. First time every reported in a shark doi.org/10.1071/MF99...

Can farmed seaweed stop climate change!? No. But, has potential to help make #aquaculture carbon neutral 🐟 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Science friends 🧪🌎🦑, @altmetric.com tracks Bluesky posts now! Quote or reply to this post with a link to the paper you’re best known for or most proud of, and a brief plain-language summary of what you found and why it matters! Let’s fill Bluesky with SCIENCE!

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

Introducing Team Worm @flindersuniversity.bsky.social! We love #Worm #brains and we cannot lie - we are interested in what makes the brain tick to form stable #memories during healthy #ageing. 🧠 Connect with us for student/trainee opportunities!

New paper from @louisehosking.bsky.social @zoedoubleday.bsky.social et al reviewing the wealth of chemical information in less-frequently analysed biomineralized tissues from aquatic taxa. If you're bored of otoliths, bivalves, and corals... tinyurl.com/v8p8nxk4. #sclerochronology #marinelife 🦑

In science we need to be resourceful, because there are not many resources to go around. This inspired us to write a paper about how we can tap into a wealth of cheap, ready-made data, which is sitting and waiting inside aquatic life. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Zoë Doubleday spoke at #ASFB2024 on her recent paper looking at shocks in the seafood industry. Engaging presentation style as @zoedoubleday.bsky.social is renowned for!! ❣️🐟 @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social

This is what relief looks like. Well done you two for giving you first conference talks ever, and doing it with aplomb!! And well done Arieli for being elected as the national student rep for @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social #asfb24.

Congratulations Arieli for presenting your first conference talk about how radiogenic isotopes can support marine and fisheries science at #asfb24. @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social

Conference. Day 1. Here we are in our Newcastle cottage for #asfb24 @austsocfishbiol.bsky.social, with @louisehosking.bsky.social and Arieli. Getting on board the Blue Sky 🚂 thanks to amazing keynote speaker @drcatherineball.bsky.social!
