“Proposing radical genetic changes as a solution may sound frightening to some. But we are going to lose corals in 20 years if we don’t try something new.”

Congratulations to Prof. Virginia Weis for being selected as 2022 AAAS Fellow! 👏 She is commended her contributions in the fields of coral reef biology and coral-algal symbiosis. beav.es/5td#coralreef#symbiosis#womeninscience#TeamScience
For this week's edition of #MeettheScientist, we're featuring DCE Gorbman Award nominee Jessica Karr! Jessie is a PhD student in @OSUIB, where she studies how changes in precipitation and temperature affect metabolic physiology and phenotypic plasticity in red crossbills!🐦🌧️🌡️
Our study of glycan chemistry of Symbiodiniaceae and its role in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis is out. Great example of working across fields. Symbiont glycome is complex and we are just starting to understand its function in symbiosis. Great job all! @OSUIB
Innovative, high-impact teaching has improved student performance in large enrollment introductory biology classes. @OSUIB faculty Lori Kayes & her incredible team have reduced student drop, fail and withdraw rates from 33.6% to 7%. #TeamSciencebit.ly/2GdGrQf
Wonderful start to @IBGSA_EJI J.E.D.I. (Justice, equity, diversity & inclusion) lunch series! Pamela Devan, sociology PhD candidate at BU, shares about about community, belonging and intersectionality in academia. @OSUIB@OSUScience
Elizabeth Wirsching, an undergrad @STEMLeadersOSU in @OSUIB gave a great poster last night at @OSUScience on development of asexual buds in Aiptasia and the role of symbionts. Thanks @presnell_jason for being a great mentor. @WeisLab
Does talk = action? To learn more about progress on #OurOcean commitments, I’m
sharing the results of our @Oregonstate analysis on the conference’s pitch stage at 10:35. If you’re here in Oslo, come join the discussion. @JaneLubchenco@_K_Dziedzic@OSUIB
“What our findings showed is that a fully protected marine area works well in returning an ecosystem to health & balance.” Pioneering work by @JaneLubchenco & @Kirsten_GC to protect the world's oceans from climate change, overfishing & acidification. bit.ly/2kH684M

Genetics of Adaptation and Speciation in a Tiny Crustacean"
Dr. Felipe Barreto @gene_nerd of @OSUIB gives a lab research overview at the #CGRBFALLCONF2019!
Calling all ocean acidification and marine protected area experts: we think you have a lot in common! Join us for a webinar on the @oainfoexchange, a new online platform you can use to collaboratively explore OA-adaptability in MPAs. wsg.washington.edu/event/wev…
