The paper for my biggest #OceanAcidification experiment is out! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
It examines how fluctuating OA-like conditions affect an important predator defense of spiny lobsters--their exoskeleton. I started this in 2016, so it’s very special it's finally published.

"Most of all, long covid is… an insistent indicator that the pandemic is not actually over.”
