2 women stand smiling and holding certificates of achievement for winning first place in their categories and first and second place overall in the poster competition. One is wearing glasses and tan sweater and pants, and the other wears a black shirt sleeved shirt and maroon pants.
Oh my gosh, PhD candidates Carol Vieira da Silva & @spasqualetti.bsky.social won 1 & 2 place, respectfully, in the UConn Graduate Student Research Symposium! They also won 1st place for their respective categories of Cognition, Heath, and Medicine (Carol) & Economy, Energy and Environment (Sarah) ππ

Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as βunder reviewβ. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Hello my #marinescience friends on the East Coast! Do you work with oysters? Do you collect and eat your own oysters? Would you like to get your oysters tested for Hg for free? If so, DM me!! Iβm working on a massive project and need all the love and help I can get! Please repost!!

She also found that microbes in community have enhanced ability to break down plastics. Proud PI status

Three people smiling with a green mountain side behind them.a city is just barely visible through the mist below
A smiling woman wearing a red baseball hat that says Bridge of the Gods stands on a dirt trail. A line of mountain peaks rises above her right shoulder
A moose with a small rack eats from a low-laying bush in a green lush valley
A snow covered mountain ridge rises above evergreen trees. Wispy clouds seem to almost follow the ridgeline
@spasqualetti.bsky.social and @sticklestock.bsky.social manager Holly are leaving today, so we hiked part of Powerline. They are able to leave early this year because we were able to get all our fish in record time. I'll stick around Anchorage for meetings, then head home. Beautiful day for a hike!
