🪸 A recent study by WHOI Reef Solutions scientists shows that microbes and genetic material in seawater change when nearby corals are sick. Seawater was a better indicator of disease than sampling the corals themselves. @amiposts.bsky.social has the scoop: go.whoi.edu/microbio-coral

Today was yet another sad day for science. All U-RISE training programs, including the one at SJSU, got stop work orders. We've had a version of this program at SJSU for 30+ yrs. Devastating for the students who got their stipends & tuition pulled w no notice & for the future of science 🧪 1/
