Doing experiments in the Atlantic Ocean on the TEAL-SHIPS5 cruise with @brayan-vilanova.bsky.social, where fish ecologists caught a huge wahoo! Grateful for amazing colleagues, and excited to catch up at OSM!

Excited and grateful, earlier this month I started my INTERN Fellowship, allowing me to spend the next three months working on elucidating relationships of bacteria and coral at the USGS - Honolulu Field Station under the mentorship of Dr. Thierry Works and his amazing team!

🌊🦠 Excited to share our latest findings on Diadema antillarum scuticociliatosis! Our research reveals how sympatric habitats serve as reservoirs for the pathogenic ciliate. We also explore possibilities for resurgence and associated microbes. www.int-res.com/articles/mep...

We also examined its recruitment to corals in aquaria, its potential for reemergence into naive diadema and its presence in coral specimens and the water column prior to the DaSc outbreak. Excellent collaboration between multiple institutions and countries!

Excited to announce the publication of our latest work on the Diadema scuticociliatosis pathogen. Here we examined its presence in environmental reservoirs, finding that it is primarily associated with the coral Siderastrea spp. www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...

Hello world, introducing myself to this new app. I am a second year Microbiology PhD student @ cornell. I work at the Cornell Marine Mass Mortality Lab, my research focuses on sea urchin mass morality event and the pathogenic ciliate culprit. Many pictures to come on from all our travel and work.
