This weekend TX SWMS participated in Meridian School’s Arts and Science Fest!

Students got the chance to check out some microscope specimens, coral and urchin skeletons, and dive gear, and helped us build our own coral reef throughout the day!

UT STEM Girl Day is this week! Message us for info if you are interested in volunteering or come hang out on Speedway Mall between 11am-4pm on Saturday to learn all about being a marine scientist and see some live corals and anemones!

UT STEM Girl Day is coming up and we are looking for volunteers to help run our table teaching students all about marine science! Email or DM us for more info!

Graduate student Issy Changsut stands behind a podium, giving her talk entitled “transcriptomic analysis of immune system ontogeny in a temperate coral”. Her first slide features talk title, coauthors, and a close up picture of a coral polyp.

Postdoc Erin Borbee stands behind a podium presenting to a sizeable crowd. Her talk is entitled “Integration of immune, energetic tradeoffs associated with the coral-algal symbiosi”. The title slide features a picture of a tropical coral reef.

And with that, the labs presentations at #SICB2025 are a wrap! Postdoc @erinborbee.bsky.social and grad student Issy Changsut gave great talks today on Astrangia immunity.

Now to enjoy two more full days of science without the burden of looming presentations!

Interested in learning about NOAA’s Gulf Restoration work?

Join an expedition LIVE in the Gulf of Mexico. Free livestreams will be available over the next week to learn about everything from ROVs to life on board! Each event will be a 30min livestream open to the public.

Excited to share that the final portion of my PhD with @lanelaburi.bsky.social is published!

We used 18S metabarcoding to characterize marine protist communities and the abiotic, biotic, and anthropogenic drivers structuring these communities across Indonesia

Three days, three Symbiommunity Lab undergrads, three posters. So proud of this group for doing an amazing job on their first big conference presentations!

Our undergrads are KILLING it! Both of our more senior undergrad RAs received Undergraduate Research Fellowships!

We are now 3/3 with TXST URFs. So proud these amazingly talented folks choose to work with me.

Props to @erinborbee.bsky.social for mentoring these students through the app process.
