Congratulations!

Another post-doc opportunity at the University of Queensland to work on coral reefs. This time modelling reef ecosystems in the Red Sea in collaboration with Dave Suggett at Kaust. 2.5 years and work rights in Australia. Happy to discuss.

If folks find teaching and mentoring less fun than budgeting, contracts, permits, procurement, travel reimbursement, and departmental bylaws then uni prof is definitely not the right job…

Little on the nose as an opening word isn’t it 😂!

And me trying to convince people the grunts are more interesting than the whale shark…

Also a sighting of the little known Scarus fiuensis… @fiu.bsky.social

Fun day at @georgiaaquarium.bsky.social! Great to see so many people enjoying some marine biology, and of course in particular the reef exhibit 😉

Opportunity at the Australian Institute of Marine Science using decision support and ecological modelling to predict reef futures and inform restoration:

So tough to find people, especially in the summer. Have you asked the authors for more potential names? Sometimes they know people in the field who are hard for the rest of us to find (and have more names beyond their original list)

Great to work with Frances and the rest of the team on this one! 🦈

Think about timing - our grad application deadline is in Dec so I am unlikely to be thinking seriously about new students in the spring semester. Early fall is ideal as I build towards that deadline. And if you apply after the deadline that’s not going to work…

TLDR; if you own this guy, be careful not to let it escape!

Great to see this paper come out at link.springer.com/article/10.1.... Former lab grad student Lanie Esch did a great job looking at fish in the FL aquarium trade and working out which were the biggest risks as future invasive species based on release probabilities and chances of establishing.

Annual GRFP thread, more relevant than ever (# of awards down 50%).

This thread is for students who didn't win the GRFP today. Who are wondering if they belong in science, or scrolling through posts that start "So excited to announce..." with a little spurt of bitterness they aren’t proud of. 1/9

Congratulations to Dr Sara Schoen for defending her PhD dissertation on Tuesday. Always a good week when we get to bring out the fibreglass barracuda!

Thanks to @gobyone.bsky.social for a great talk yesterday about tiny fish!

One of my stranger days of fieldwork… monitoring a new Seawall in N Miami…

It's changed since I last ran it in 2010 but this might be useful food for thought

We started one (snorkelling only) to the Bahamas in 2006 and it is still running @exetermarine.bsky.social . Currently run by Jamie Stevens or I can answer qs by email

Nice work! If anyone is interested in the potential spread of this species have a look at link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Fish 🐠🐠 vs fishes 🐠🐟 use seems pretty loose…

Can we all agree Wednesday is the perfect day for Xmas / NY? Weekends come at the right time, wind down / back to work feels right… how do we make this a permanent thing?
