The NIH's literal mission: to prevent disease, to expand the knowledge base in medical and associated sciences, and to enhance the nation's economic well-being, and ensure a continued high return on the public investment in research.

Alexander von Humboldt was an incredible naturalist and artist who transformed how we see mountains. Now, his work has inspired a contemporary collaboration that transforms how we can see deep-sea seamounts. bu.edu/articles/2025/first-d…

The Temperate Coral Conference @myrwu was one of the most invigorating & community-focused experiences I’ve had during my PhD. I was thrilled to share my work on #Astrangiapoculata, meet the founders & future of this field, & share the experience with some of my best friends!
Dr. Randi Rotjan retweeted
It’s a joy to coordinate these with @SeanPGrace and @RandiRotjan - this year we are generating new shared resources/protocols for culturing, husbandry, and public awareness campaigns. This community is as mighty as the #temperatecorals it studies!
Dr. Randi Rotjan retweeted
Another Temperate Coral Research Conference @myrwu in the books! Exciting to be watching this field move forward so quickly, and to discuss how we can apply the #astrangiathings we’ve learned to address climate change threats on our temperate and tropical marine ecosystems alike!

Crazy images coming from researchers in Brazil - we warned about this back in 2019 frontiersin.org/articles/10.… and yet others still tried to indicate Brazilian reefs might be a thermal refuge. The writing is well and truly on the wall now. No reef is safe and the world will burn!
Massive coral bleaching in the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, Brazil. On track to beat the 2019 record of 19 DHW in Southern State of Bahia. 50% of the species that occur in Brazilian reefs are endemic.

The @DeepSeaCOBRA Master Class in Deep-sea Expedition Leadership is now accepting applications for 2024! If you want to learn more, our new @FrontMarineSci paper just came out, describing what it is and how it works. #NSFfunded frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Congratulations @calvin Yu for doing a great job on your #astrangiathings @BUMPatBU honors thesis today! Huge thanks to committee members @mcalisterlab and @NonlinearNature, and to lab members @cflemsscientist and Tyler chidsey. Loved zooming in from CO for the occasion :-)

@RandiRotjan of @BU_Biology and @BUMPatBU, has her research featured extensively @PNASNews on human health, public health, and transmission of diseases. The Initiative on Cities' Early Stage Urban Research Award supported the research.

New paper alert! 🪸Coral sperm motility is activated by similar signaling pathways as humans🧍and sea urchins, and is pH-dependent. This feature may make them sensitive to #OA. Led by PhD student @ben_glass_ in a fun collab w/@HolliePutnam lab #astrangia doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.00…

Great conversation this morning about @SCSU @Werth_Center, @myrwu’s @SharpKoty and @WHOI’s @AmyApprill research on southern New England’s only coral Astrangia poculata! ctpublic.org/show/where-we-l…
Wonderful in-depth NPR interview with @SharpKoty @SeanPGrace and @AmyApprill on our favorite temperate coral in New England #AstrangiaThings, and the response to high ocean temperatures. In-depth interview, well worth the listen! ctpublic.org/show/where-we-l…

Ok ok ok ok the awesome Rhode Island #statecoral and its unusual capacity for dormancy made its way onto @jeopardy last night, thanks to @DrAnyaBrown and her incredible scicomm mind! Nice work!!
#AstrangiaThings @myrwu
Astrangia on Jeopardy!!! Perk of having a brother who works on jeopardy...wins for the coral!

Really thoughtful article by @carolynmbeans in @PNASNews this week on microplastics. HIghlights from my lab and others on a topic that isn't going away.
