Doing experiments in the Atlantic Ocean on the TEAL-SHIPS5 cruise, where fish ecologists caught a huge wahoo!
Grateful for amazing colleagues, and excited to catch up at OSM!

Today was a bitter sweet day, Iβm excited to be moving forward but Iβm also overwhelmed by my last day at @CornellMicrobio Department. Gonna miss all the amazing people who took part of my journey specially my mentor, @IanH77, I donβt have words to express how grateful I am.

My department (Biological Sciences) has opened a tenure-track position! This is a broad search, with some preference for ecology/evolution/environment, but any and all research foci in biology are encouraged to apply! Review date is Dec 15th.

Lots and lots of traffic today about Sea Star Wasting in Florida. This probably isnβt the same thing as in the Pacific, but speaks to the fact that there is no case definition, and that itβs very non specific and describes when stars fall apart. See

I was asked to write this based on a town hall at a recent meeting. Apologies but the journal wanted $3200 for open access and I just couldnβt afford. Lmk if youβd like to see it.

Excited and grateful, earlier this month I started my INTERN Fellowship, allowing me to spend the next three months working on elucidating relationships of bacteria and coral at the USGS - Honolulu Field Station under the mentorship of Dr. Thierry Works and his amazing team!

π‘ Understanding microbiome changes due to pathogens like DSc is vital to developing strategies that protect marine ecosystems. Our research sheds light on the mechanisms behind host-pathogen interactions! (7/8)

Dive deeper on the results and learn more about our work on Diadematidae mass mortality and how environmental microbiomes compare when the disease is replicated in laboratory conditions. ππ¦
Big thank you to all the incredible collaborators who made this work possible (8/8)
