Thanks to recent tech advances, we can now use automation to count and (nondestructively) spectrally sort live coral embryos and larvae using flow cytometry! #FlyCoralLarvae Check out the method here: rdcu.be/b50xb @aims_gov_au @UnionBiometrica

Many small eggs or fewer large eggs? We saw no trade-off between coral egg size and number of eggs in 7 Acropora species at Scott Reef. Paper at: rdcu.be/b5Nzy @JamesPGilmour @aims_gov_au

Sad news at the @calacademy this week
California Academy of Sciences@calacademy27 May 2020
Today, we shared the painful news that 75% of our staff will be impacted as we prepare to fight through a $12M loss in the upcoming year. To those impacted: You are not to blame. We're honored by your work. And we're here to support you going forward. bit.ly/2MdMd7L

Thrilled to finally share the results of a great collaboration with some wonderful coral reproductive biologists - read on for applications of sexual reproduction in reef restoration. @aims_gov_au @MEPS_IR int-res.com/articles/meps_oa…

Australian citizens and residents, please consider signing this petition to have the #ClimateEmergency declared by parliament. Coral reefs don't have time for more smokescreens and deliberations. aph.gov.au/petition_sign?id=…

Did you know: 1000+s of tiny animals - #coralpolyps - work together to build the rocky framework that makes a #coralreef ? Look closely at these #coral skeletons and you can see the holes where each polyp used to sit!! Thx @aims_gov_au for these epic skeletons from NW #australia

Huge collaborative effort from Western Australian scientists. Sadly, despite their isolation WA reefs are not immune to #climatechange or #coralbleaching Paper at rdcu.be/buN8o @aims_gov_au @uwaoceans @CurtinUni @CSIROnews @WAParksWildlife @CoralCoE @wamuseum

What's the state of Western Australia's coral reefs? How were they impacted by the recent global bleaching event? Find out more in this study by @JamesPGilmour that involved 19 institutions!! link.springer.com/article/10…

Why is WA the only state with no renewable energy target?
Climate Council@climatecouncil17 Mar 2019
South Australia is tipped to hit 100% renewable energy by 2025. NSW, not so much. ow.ly/U3xy30o2nTi

Hey #marinescience educators! If your students are interested in #coralreefs, check out our recently published lesson plan measuring the impacts of #ENSO and #coastalupwelling on reef growth! Fun for everyone yr 10 to undergrad. bit.ly/2EPnJyo @aims_gov_au @FloridaTech

Good piece in @nytimes on our #marineheatwaves paper in @NatureClimate - Climate change “may be a gradual process, but set on that backdrop are these extreme warming events that might be becoming more common that can have more dramatic consequences,” nytimes.com/2019/03/04/clima…

Ocean Heat Waves Are Threatening Marine Life (Published 2019)

Scientists say the heat waves are becoming more common and longer, and are killing off the species that underpin many marine ecosystems.

Big news: thanks to the Kinghorn Foundation, the number of #Fulbright scholarships for Australians doubled this year, & will grow more next year. Last night we honoured 2019 grantees, incl Aus marine biologist @TarynFoster_ & @BrownUniversity grad Dan Sherrell now @UniofAdelaide – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
