A small, realistic black and grey tattoo of a blue crab below the ankle bone on the inside of a foot.

A black and grey, realistic tattoo of a Chrysaora jellyfish placed between the shoulder blades on a woman’s back. The tentacles curve around under the left shoulder blade as if a current of water is moving them. Part of a quote in black script is also visible running down the spine. In Spanish, it reads: Mi corazón pertenece al mar. Translated it says, my heart belongs to the sea.

I’ve gifted myself tattoos relating to my research or major after each degree. A blue crab for my master’s and a Chrysaora jellyfish for my PhD. I also have a quote down my spine that reflects my double major undergrad degrees. Translated from Spanish it reads “My heart belongs to the sea.”

Hello to all my new followers! I’d like to reintroduce myself: I’m a postdoc researcher interested in marine food webs and how jellyfish fit into those food webs. My current work is developing a benthic production model for sand shoals in the Gulf of Mexico. I’m based in southern Louisiana, USA. 🦑🧪

Thank you!

I would like to be added! Thanks! www.researchgate.net/profile/Stac...

🚨New paper alert 🚨

The first paper from my dissertation is out! We developed an end-to-end, depth resolved food web model that allows us to track vertical energy flows throughout the water column and within specific depth zones. 🦑🧪

Now that I have a few more followers I wanted to share this again.

Are you working with aquatic scientific data? We’d like to hear your opinions and experiences regarding generating, accessing, and/or manipulating datasets. See the post below for survey details!

Stacy, wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses, taking a selfie with a dip net in front of a body of water. The site is where she collects ctenophore jellyfish with the net she’s holding.

Stacy is standing at the back of a boat with her back to the camera as she leans over to tie off a rope that is extending into the water. The rope is attached to a plankton ring net that is being towed by the boat.

Stacy smiles at the camera while holding up a blue crab at the back of a boat on calm water. It’s a sunny, clear day.
