But I love the rats

These Machines Fight Traffic.

Walked by this beauty last night - pretty awesome to see these messages out in the world.

Love how ubiquitous they are. I’ve heard about a couple ppl on that cruise - must have a full shop with diverse interests! Enjoy!!

The third picture is my favorite acantharian variety!! What region are you sampling?

What features are you using for data analysis? I use it for websites and presentations.

I’m confused - are we talking about harmful algal blooms?

After work rockets! Sending it … to the moon!!!! 🌕 go science go!

Want to hear *more* about our research trip to Antarctica to study the effects of melting sea ice on the microbes, zooplankton, and chemistry of the Weddell Sea (😉)? Carlyn Scott from the @cmarinescience.bsky.social communication office interviewed me and put together this Q&A. 🌊🇦🇶🦠 #oceanography

Australian shepherd puppy at the beach on a high wind day- all floof flattened by the wind.

The best dogs on the best coast (east coast)

Red flag day at the ocean beach - no swimming allowed.

This wknd, we took the puppy to meet the Atlantic Ocean for her first time. Somehow seems fitting it was a red flag day. She loved it as much as I do. East coast ocean beaches remain my favorite places on this planet (long island’s are best). ❤️🌊🐶🐾

View of the harbor at the USF St. Pete campus. The USF sailing team is based here and their boats are in the background.

Left my bike at work last night and took public transit to work today, which requires walking through campus to get to my building. When this view opens up, I can’t help but feel so lucky to work here and to live here. St. Pete ❤️🌊

That happened to me when I moved from mass to Florida, too. It is so expensive here and everyone makes less.

The logo is so beautiful

Oh great idea. I’ve been looking for a chili emoji sticker.

Prepping preserved Antarctic seawater for flow cytometry. I stain preserved samples with fluorescent dye in a 96-well plate, and then load the plate into the instrument.

Our labs flow cytometer - named chili. It can count cells and take pictures of each cell it counts. She is the workhorse of the lab and supports most of our experiments.🧪

Nothing better than doing lab work you’re really excited about in an empty building on a Saturday afternoon. IYKYK. Here, prepping and running preserved Antarctic seawater samples on our flow cytometer (named chili 🌶️ by the grad students bc she is spicy) to count bacterial cells. 🇦🇶🌊👩‍🔬 #oceanography

First 6 Days of Iran War Cost U.S. $11.3 Billion, Pentagon Says

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

It is so amazing that we can study protists (single celled organisms) using an ROV. We collected one of these on the #LivingBioreactors cruise on the @schmidtocean.bsky.social R/V Falkor last month. It went to a colleague studying the chemistry of their calcium carbonate shells.

Amazing! The crew suggested this to me on my last cruise but I stuck with the small boat ops. Cool to see it actually done!!

Don’t know yet! Have a lot of sequencing and IDing work to do. We saw some weird tunicates, ctenophores, and clams - but I’m really the microbe person :)

What a missed opportunity - there was a ton of dry ice, bags of big tubes full of seawater, boxes of little tubes with filters from filtering seawater, and a few tubes with individual organisms in them that we want to ID, also a marine sediment core and little baggies of deep sea mud

Oh wow I should have done that.

Large box wrapped in silver bubble wrap filled with dry ice and all the samples I worked for a year to be able To go collect and then spent 35 days at sea collecting! 🤞they are in good shape and tell us interesting things about the ocean and the world!

Little shred of good news - box1 of the samples my colleagues and I collected near Antarctica have completed their long and arduous journey through customs and ports and airplanes and trucks to my lab. Now the real work starts!! 😬😬😬 #oceanography

Need instructors?

MicroSEA (Microbial Sea Eukaryotes) course is a one-week, field-based summer school to train early-career researchers in the diversity, ecology, and single-cell biology of marine protists. MicroSEA course integrates lectures, field sampling, and lab-based practicals in advanced techniques, such as flow cytometry, microscopy, culturing, and molecular analysis. The main objectives of MicroSEA course are: Fostering a deep understanding of marine protist diversity, ecology and biology; Providing hands-on training in advanced single-cell methods that are not commonly available in university programs; Building participants' confidence in designing and conducting research projects from field to data analysis; Promoting international collaborations and peer networking among students and speakers/trainers. The course will take place at the Station Biologique de Roscoff - SBR (France) - 7th to 12th of June, 2026 (arrival on the 6th, departure on the 13th). 20 participants will be selected, including 10 from EuroMarine member institutes. https://opbc.sciencesconf.org/

Protist lovers: Please apply for a week of rhapsody! Learn by doing:

Nope not wrong. But also not exactly helpful.

Today, my mom asked me if I ever considered publishing in Science Magazine to reach a broader audience... Thanks, Mom. #oceanography 🌊🤦‍♀️🙄
