I am beginning to explore the ideas of optimizing funding solicitation efforts, and how that integrates with personal financial solvency. I have invested an uncounted amount of personal resources and time in projects, finding it to be inseparable. More here!

Our work is supported by Remote Ecologist and by subscriptions from Upwell Coffee. Very grateful for productive, cold dives - and for Mystic Soup Co. for warming us up! Exploring winter conditions is an important piece to the puzzle!

Out and about to ground-truth our lost fishing gear dives mid-winter in #longislandsound - Many thanks to Bill Lucey, the LISoundkeeper and Save The Sound for getting out there and for their continued collaboration, along with volunteer divers from UConn Avery Point & Audubon Nature Institute. Pt. 1
Celebrating together after a productive field season. Thanks to Fundación CIM-Caribe and our team at @remoteecologist.bsky.social for a productive coral field season and for a great start to the new year! Much to be done in 2025!

Leaf? Or….. only in #Colombia do I continue to have these incredible encounters. It is humbling being close to so much biodiversity.
Thanks to @marinebio1.bsky.social for compiling this great resources for students aspiring to study marine biology, in the U.S. and internationally:

Always fun to show nonscientists settling corals and GFP production. A throwback photo from our settling #Acropora palmata planulae from last summer! As I continue to state, I’m in the crab and fish housing construction business. 😁 #coastalrestoration
Would LOVE to chat sometime about high altitude crabs in Colombia. Hope all is well!
Hope it was fun! Someday I will finally make it to WSN.

Inspiring my daughter while she was home sick yesterday with the caiman meandering about in the backyard. Though, she notes she will study “all animals, not just the marine ones.” Favorite animal group: crocodilians.

Students, some of these opportunities are starting to open up for next summer. I have spoken to a few mentees this week on their plans for summer and/or post-graduation. Take a look!

Glad to have had the chance last Friday to chat with my postdoc advisor Prof. Martha Rocha during my layover in Bogotá to catch up on all things #freshwatercrabs - and looking forward to getting that research collaboration back up and going! Back to biogeographic modeling…
There is even a chapter on invasive hippos in #Colombia! The risk is real!
My former supervisor keeps a running list of different animals that have bitten or drawn blood. I played a small part in this effort, which was born out of Instituto Humboldt’s Carlos Lasso’s field experiences/hospitalizations - a first go at a risk analysis by study organism. #venomousanimals
My shark scientists and conservationists on Bluesky starter pack is up to 60 accounts!

Living in Santa Marta never gets old. We have all the fun freshwater and terrestrial questions to get after (finally getting back to my freshwater #crab work), and also all this great marine space! #nature #explore
This is all a part of our mission to help retain and advance folks from various points in their careers. At this time, we are geographically focused on long-term field projects in the U.S. and South America, but can serve beyond that range, in both marine and terrestrial domains.
Think about us and schedule an inquiry (SEE: www.remoteecologist.org). Not only do we offer an attractive overhead rate and financial oversight for grants, but we also provide E&O insurance for our volunteers and affiliate scientists.
Our two-fold mission is to advance science and conservation and also to serve as a hub for those who need to advance their careers in the field. Do you find yourself as an hashtag#adjunct or recent grad not knowing where to house your research program or connect with like-minded folks?
Absolutely love this. Glad you are raising awareness.
Ok, this one I *do* want your help with.
Making a starter pack of shark and ray scientists and conservationists.
There are a lot of folks I missed, help me fill this out.
