Behold the Greenland shark and cookiecutter shark gingerbread cookies!! Happy Holidays and New Year, everyone ❄️🦈

36 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ 🎢 #AcademicSky 🇨🇦

HUGE news for sharks and rays!! 🎉🦈 All shark and ray proposals were passed at #CITESCoP20 on Friday! More than 70 species of threatened sharks and rays have been granted stronger protections against international trade. #CITES #shark #sharkconservation newsroom.wcs.org/News-Release...

Historic victory for sharks: #CITESCoP20 Parties voted to list oceanic whitetip sharks on Appendix I, the highest level of protection offered by CITES. “Today’s decision is a watershed moment for all sharks and rays,” said WCS’s Luke Warwick. 🌏 Read more: bit.ly/4olha9w

How do whale researchers "catch a breath?" With drones, of course! #WHOI & New England Aquarium scientists remotely captured blowhole spray from North Atlantic right whales in Cape Cod Bay to learn more about their health—without invading their space! 📲Learn more from BBC: go.whoi.edu/bbc-whale

Delighted to be back teaching on The Survivor's Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology for 2026 - its always a highlight of the year. A fantastic week of isotopic learning in a truly magnificent location. www.exedramc.com/courses/surv...

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has just been updated and now includes assessments of 1,266 species of sharks, rays, and chimaeras.

Food webs are the blueprint of ecosystems. Want to know what fuels migrating birds? Or how invasive species disrupt rivers and lakes? The answers are in the food web — and stable isotopes let us read it. www.atomicecology.com/post/whats-i...

When you're dealing with huge video file transfers and the hard drive keeps overheating.... Do any other researchers using #BRUVS and #camera tech relate? 🧪📷

Thanks @melissacmarquez.bsky.social for writing a great story on our recently published paper! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

There's so much life in the deep ocean, and there's still so much to discover! #deepocean #marinescience 🧪 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Something went evolutionary wrong with this one 🤔 @ripleysaquariums.bsky.social Centaurs are so 900 BC, make way for the #sharktaur 🦈🐎 #shorse #hork ??

I loved seeing Greenland sharks being represented at the @ripleysaquariums.bsky.social ! Go #sharks! 🦈😍

New pub! We outline how the themes of collaboration and optical technology have merged to facilitate the repeated monitoring and characterization of sensitive Arctic ecosystems. Read it for free: doi.org/10.48336/ceg... Thank you to the JOT team for this opportunity! 🧪 @marineinstitute.bsky.social

Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy.

Our focus for #UNOC3 includes climate-resilient coral reefs, advancing regional cooperation for #30x30, and elevating the leadership of coastal women worldwide, says WCS’s @stacyjupiter.bsky.social. 🌊 🌍

[1/3] À #UNOC3 à Nice, la #Polynésie française a annoncé la protection de 900.000 km² d’océan, soit 23 % de ses eaux. Deux vastes zones autour des Gambier et des îles de la Société deviennent des refuges marins interdits à la pêche et à toute exploitation. #geography #marinereserves #AMP #MPA

Sir David Attenborough’s #Ocean is a stark reminder of the damage we’re inflicting and the how we must act to restore Earth's underwater habitats. 🪸 With #UNOC3 underway, countries need to agree to, and follow, the UN High Seas Treaty so we can protect 30% of our oceans by 2030.

I had a great time chatting to the public about my MSc research on Greenland sharks using Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems for #WorldOceansDay at the @marineinstitute.bsky.social #GreenlandSharkWhisperer 🦈🌊

Happy Pride! Nature and science are for everyone 🌿🌈🌊

🚢 As Arctic sea ice melts, more ships are moving in — and so is more pollution. WWF-Canada’s Sam Davin joins Yale Climate Connections to explore how rising ship traffic is affecting Arctic waters and why a lot more needs to be done to protect it. 🎧 Take a listen. ⬇️

What's at stake with Bill 5? 🤔 "Our data shows that without action, Ontario is on the path to losing iconic species such as the Eastern wolf, American badger & barn owl... The hopeful news is that we also know how to reverse the path we’re on." — WWF-Canada's Emily Giles Read the op-ed here. ⬇️
