My first ever publication!! 🦑🧪
So honored to have the salp work I did in the Sutherland Lab finally published in the Journal of Experimental Biology :) we analyzed how the colonial salp architecture impacts multi-jet propulsion!

Diving with seafans
On the intersection of math and science: understanding how different filter feeders geometries (e.g. seafans) have adapted to their environment in the ocean! The left image is from our dive two days ago.

“Maine Sea Grant’s federal investment of $1.5 million in 2023 “resulted in an economic benefit of $23.5 million. That means that for every dollar spent on Maine Sea Grant, our coastal communities get the value of $15.60.”

It safeguards marine ecosystems & species, ensures sustainable seafood, and supports coastal economies. Without it, overfishing, habitat loss, and food insecurity would threaten us all. Protect our oceans—protect our future!

A screenshot of a Facebook post from the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

an email from the society for integrative and comparative biology that reads "Attn SICB Members: The past few weeks have been a stressful time in our scientific community, and we want to make our position clear: The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology unequivocally condemns recent attacks on scientific integrity, funding for scientific research, and the importance of broadening participation in science."
This is how you do it.
Thank you @sicbjournals.bsky.social
