Great talk by @ashtyn-isaak.bsky.social on her PhD work looking at effects of MHWs and thermal priming on coralline #algae 🪸 #ASPAB

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Calcium carbonate never looked so good. Can't wait to see what these beauties do in our latest experiment! #PhycologyFriday

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts. 24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded. 6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals. >20 is catastrophic. coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/product/vs/m...

Happy #worldseagrassday! Although seagrasses are not algae, I’ll let it slide and allow these marine plants to have a cute moment for #PhycologyFriday. (Some Ulva mixed in too so I think it counts!) Bodega Bay, CA

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I'm hesitant to report what the cuts are and where, so nobody tries to take advantage of the lack of rangers. But these reports are true and EMTs are being cut as well. The parks emergency services will be severely impacted.

Americans are about to discover how science agencies fund universities. In both red and blue states. Slashing science = slashing jobs. Period.

Came across my first instance of removed public access data while working on a meta analysis this morning. The effects of data removal and funding freezes are sending shockwaves around the globe #opendata

DEI isn’t a feel-good slogan—it’s data-backed, peer-reviewed, and fundamental to better science. NSF bending to political pressure means ignoring decades of research. Science advances by evidence, not executive orders.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Our next experiment’s army of coral frags ready to go. With 2 coral species and 2 CCA we will test physiological differences between thermal bleaching, light induced bleaching, and low pH induced bleaching using physiology, skeletal geochemistry, and gene expression at AIMS
