1/2 🌿🐟=💥New paper alert! Just published my latest (royalsocietypublishing.org/d…) w/ the amazing @AllgeierLab! 🎉 Turns out, seagrass love fish pee. It's a goldmine of nutrients that boost their growth, even under fishing pressure & human nutrient influence.

Jake and Katrina spent the last few weeks catching, tagging, and collecting fin clips from fish in Abaco. Fun fact - grunt fin clips look like sushi grass! 🍣

We are still accepting applications for a postdoc position in the lab! Details in the link below 👇
We have a postdoc position opening in the lab to develop ecosystem-scale models that integrate bioenergetics, nutrient dynamics, and consumer movement to predict ecosystem production in tropical coastal ecosystems. Please share! tinyurl.com/28xafbme
