I'm exited to give a seminar at University of Washington 🇨🇦🇪🇨🌊🪸🪸🪸. I'm flying today and the work never stops!! But I enjoy it. Contributing to a bigger purpose gives strength. To save our oceans we need to understand them! #nationalgeographicexplorer #phdcandidate #latinainscience

🌊 Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 #OSM26! 📍 Glasgow, Scotland | February 22–27, 2026 🪸 Call for Abstracts " Advancing Knowledge of the Atlantic Deep Sea" 🗓️ Deadline: August 2026 🌊 Submit here: agu.confex.com/agu/osm26/pr... @drshmoo.bsky.social‬ @dsbsoc.bsky.social @deepseaecol.bsky.social

Last week, I had the honour of being one of thirty National Geographic Explorers invited to Ottawa for the NGS Leadership Workshop and Spotlight. A powerful and moving experience where we shared our journeys on stage at the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Very thankful 💙🪸🌊 #NationalGeographic

"The most important place on the planet is not on land, but at sea." Super stoked & excited to see the trailer drop for 'Ocean' the new film of hope by David Attenborough youtu.be/cIZAdCtKT_g?... Globally released in cinemas May 8th #oceanwithattenborough #davidattenborough #oceanoptimism 📽 🌊 🐟 🪸 🐙

Meanwhile @divaamon.bsky.social and Sheena Talma kicked off the open session at #17DBS with brilliant talks reflecting on equity, capacity sharing & democratising #deepsea science 🌎🌍🌏 @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Meet Oenone “Nonny” Scott, a PhD student at the University of Essex modelling larval dispersal of #octocorals in the Scotia Sea to understand connectivity in vulnerable ecosystems. With a background in biology, coding, and conservation, she’s passionate about #SciencePolicy and ecosystem protection.

Prof Kerry Howell presented a brilliant talk #DSBS17 this week, sharing the development and biological validation of a global benthic habitat map. The map can be used to help inform the use of area based management tools and protect the #DeepSea in #ABNJ.

Our final #17DSBS support feature, for the final day of #17DSBS! Meet Flávia Tiemi Masumoto, a master’s student at the University of São Paulo studying #DeepSea biodiversity and litter and now researching the impacts of #microplastics in #DeepSeaFishes collected from the DEEP-OCEAN expeditions.

That's a wrap on the 17th Deep Sea Biology Symposium, #17DSBS! Check out the thread to see our team members and network colleagues in action at the conference. @dsbsoc.bsky.social @drmtaylor.bsky.social @deepstewardship.bsky.social

It was wonderful to present at the 17DSBS. I love to talk about this project as I hope it helps to raise awareness about the threat that climate change represents to the deep sea of MPA like the Galapagos and Isla del Coco @dsbsoc.bsky.social. it was a happy birthday 🎂 🪸😊

Flying from Chengdu to Hong Kong to present at the 17thDSBS after seeing pandas 🐼🐙🐙 🤩, can this get better? @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Here is a second Coral Reef Science starter pack! Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/QSafBeL

Life brings cool surprises, like this curious skate who DECIDED to turn around and explore ROV SuBastian 😊. Have a new year full of good surprises🍾 🌊! This happened while we explored hydrothermal vents in the Pacific on my second expedition aboard R/V Falkor (too). credits SOI🐙 @dsbsoc.bsky.social

Paper formally out❗🪸🌊Cold-water corals and sponges can thrive in heterogeneous vertical walls, selecting their preferred habitats. This study highlights how niche differentiation can drive biodiversity in vertical walls and the need to protect these complex deep-sea [email protected]😌

Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness

Hi everyone, I just opened this account hoping to help contribute to a new free speech place for scientists ☺️. I am hoping no billionaire purchases and corrupts Blueskye. Let's connect🪸🌊🐟🦈🐙! I'm interested in marine biology, ecology and climate science. My focus is corals 🪸
