Had to wait until the last day to share what an amazing time I had in Brazil 🇧🇷Work trips are great, but they’re even better when you’re home. Two months filled with learning, connections, happiness, and a perfect balance of work and family 💙🐠🤿

Blennies may provide key food web links between detritus, inverts, & algae they consume & bigger fish that eat them! I had a great time sharing my work on what stable isotopes & DNA metabarcoding can reveal about their trophic roles at the Texas Bays & Estuaries Mtg!

So happy to have been awarded the Clark Hubbs Scholarship from @TCAFS for my eDNA/eRNA chapter on the southern flounder! 🧬 And even happier to celebrate this feeling with @ScubaMelman - which is doing an incredible work on Texas blennies 🐠

New publication led by @UTMSI undergraduate superstar Ariel Wang: doi.org/10.1007/s00338-024-0…
We investigate Risor ruber, the tusked goby, a tiny sponge-dwelling fish that occurs from Georgia (USA) to northern Brazil.

And now published in Molecular Ecology!

Here is our new preprint "Global mesozooplankton communities show lower connectivity in deep oceanic layers", where we applied DNA metabarcoding to mesozooplankton samples collected during the Malaspina-2010 circumnavigation expedition.

FINALLY got this work published 🥳
Ever wondered if we can use dust to see were a person has travelled??
We used eDNA and geochemistry signals from dust to find this out!
Thank you to our project funders @DIP_SouthAust

Rodnyel Arosemena López and I collected our las field samples today in Bocas del Toro monitoring how local human impacts alter the ecosystem roles of #coralreef fishes! Now its time for the lab work to begin!

Rodnyel Arosemena López and I have had a busy week in Bocas del Toro, Panamá studying how reef degradation influences the roles of parrotfishes on coral reefs! Fieldwork is going swimmingly!

Great opportunity. It would be awesome to get more postdocs working on coral reefs in the Corpus Christi area!

Last day in this wonderful place! We finished up our stay at Carie Bow Caye @smithsonian research station by contributing to the CBC Logbook - packed with amazing stories since 2010 btw!
Still pinching myself that this is my job! 3 weeks full of work and wild surprises! 🐢🦈🐠 – at Belize

Hi #APCRS2023 folks! Ever wondered about the erosion process of coral colonies after death and how it's influenced by fishes and currents? 🐠🌊🪸
Join me tomorrow (22/06) at 10:00 in Lecture Theatre 50 to explore the intriguing world of dead coral colonies.

Teaching a little work/life balance as well, and hosting the team to one of Rhode Island’s other great places (besides @URIGSO) - the beach!
