fave mountain love to see it

Starting a new project (don't tell future Amanda) and the co-PI asked how many papers we want to write and suggested 3

On it!

Currently working on 9 papers and I feel like tomorrow it could be 10... chat is this normal? 🧪

People in Spain will be like "have you met her yet???? 🫣😬"

and they're talking about Spanish bureaucracy

Spanish bureaucracy is absolutely nuts BUT three appointments and three apartments later I finally have my empadronamiento (proof of residence)!!!

you are combining my two loves: rainbows and sea slugs!!! (and science)

Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs.

But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅

First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti.

so cute!!!!

thinking about *her*

Thank you for your coverage Eos and Saima May Sidik (@saimamay.bsky.social)!!

New article on how to predict coastal landscape change 🧪🌊

OMG Which one of you has an academic crush on me?????*

*It's me

Yeah those are like OK I guess

It's not just jellyfish and algae that will benefit from climate change... it's these five species of butterflyl!! (the ugly ones)

Spanish teacher: What's Barbie's boyfriend's name again? Kant???

Paddington doesn't want to live in Peru or New York? What a drama queen

I’m really excited for this SF! With it we’re trying to combat the positive bias in publishing - how we and reviewers are inclined to only lift up research that goes as expected. But we all know there are so many lessons to be learned when you get unexpected results, or when things don’t work. 🧪

Smiley, our resident spotted eagle ray, gave us a nice glide-by yesterday 😊 #spottedeagleray #stingraysofcoralcity #stingray #eagleray #coralcitycamera

Third publication of 2026 hot off the presses!!!!!! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I wrote this one up for my newsletter! It is indeed such a fun study.

Just in case anyone is paywalled from Sci Am but still wants a fun lil breakdown of the paper:

forgot to tag @xjbsx.bsky.social !!! Go follow her, she's new here

Visiting Madrid has me culture shocked because there are so many people speaking English here!! Shamelessly!

Go Julia goooo!!!!!!

spilled coffee on everything and have zero attention span today what's new

Images showing examples of the varying ecosystems, morphologies, and human development that comprise the coastal landscape and require accounting for in regional to national projections of change (credit: Betsy Boynton, U.S. Geological Survey). Image locations are as follows: eroding permafrost coast at Barter Island, AK, USA; sandy beaches and vegetated dunes at Fire Island, NY, USA; rocky beaches and headland at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; wash over and road damage at Rodanthe, NC, USA following Hurricane Irene in 2011; tidal wetlands and forested uplands at Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge, FL, USA; cliff backed beaches at Point Reyes National Seashore, CA, USA, vegetated estuarine shoreline at Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge, FL, USA.

NEW ARTICLE!!! Challenges and Opportunities for National-Scale Projections of Future Coastal Landscape Change.
