Back in the office, and realize the one thing COVID has shut down more than anything is international shipments. We must have more than 10 lots of specimens and science-y stuff that needs to be sent around the world. #thisishowMISErolls

Time for some positive #conservationbiology tweets from Okinawa. How about this massive and healthy Heliopora colony from the east coast? #thisishowMISErolls

When you plan a trip to a remote island and the weather forecast says a typhoon will hit it right in the middle of your time there. Thanks 2020. #thisishowMISEblows

Our recent paper on abyssal fauna in eastern Australia led by @DrTimOHara is out. Cool finding is that up to 58% of the collected fauna is undescribed. More taxonomic work is needed on these specimens! I am glad to be a part of the team. mbr.biomedcentral.com/articl…
