I'm so proud of the wonderful team I got to help design and write this paper with.
Understanding larval #krill is incredibly important for understanding krill's impact on the #Antarctic ecosystem at every life stage.

My newest paper just came out.
It looks at the influence of #penguin #guano on #krill feeding rates and #swimming #behaviour. Check it out at the link:

Graph showing global average temperature anomaly in the upper 2000 m of the ocean as measured by the Argo float array. Anomaly is near zero (blue tint) until about 2013 and becomes progressively more red (warmer) up until present. Increasing ocean heat content in response to climate change is the cause.

It's incredibly important for #Australia to stay a strong supporter of all things #Antarctica.
It's still very ouchy
So, my work was highlighted in the recent Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences newsletter.

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.
A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

🔮 What does the future hold for our oceans and their ability to soak up carbon from the atmosphere?
That's what a team of scientists are hoping to learn more about, as they embark on a 51 day voyage around the Southern Ocean. 🌊
It's time for a thread 🧵

Do whales optimize their vocalizations for efficiency, just like human language? 🐋🎶 My latest study in
Science Advances (@science.org) suggests they do—following linguistic laws seen in human speech. 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Spot the difference.
Oof, been there. I hope it gets easier soon.

Drumpf and co are trying to remove and ban all mentions of #LGBTQ terminology in #medical journal articles.
Very similar to the mass book burning on #trans #science by Hitler.

Can't believe it's just over a month away!
Stay tuned for #Marine #Science shenanigans!!
Can't wait to show off this exciting research we did on #krill swimming #behaviour in a vertical flume. It was purpose built for our research and was the first of it's kind used in #Antarctica !
The National Science Foundation says that it is complying with Friday's court order and will resuming funding to grants and projects.
