Kordi Kokott spent the summer working with mentor Dr. Sara Boles - Dr. Sara E Boles (@abalonequeen.bsky.social) in the @santarosajc-BML Internship Program. Together, they examined how #dulce cultivated at different temperatures affects the growth and health of juvenile #abalone: buff.ly/3D1XDqP

If the #shell fits. This hermit #crab recruited into the seawater system last year as a larva and was using a broken crab claw for protection until I found it. Today, was the day to move into a new shell. UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory

California Federation of Labor Unions has sanctioned our strike. The entire labor movement is behind us.

This is incredibly sad news. All species of California #abalone are now listed as #endangered or critically endangered species. ucdavis.edu/climate/news/a…

The #shell was not the one. Picky #hermit #crab. UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory

After 5 full days, we now have power. Thank you to all the crew that worked tirelessly to get new poles and lines up. We had two 100 foot Doug Firs come down in addition to all of the redwood branches. Now to catch up on all the emails and work I couldn't get done. #WestCounty

Happy 7th birthday to these red #abalone that I raised during my PhD w/@whitehead_ja. As a postdoc w/ Jackson A Gross I am able to maintain the colony of abalone (~400 animals). #MolluscMonday UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory PTX at UC Davis

The #abalone lab is next door to the Boating and Dive Safety classroom and the dummies scared the day lights out of me this morning. @BodegaMarineLab @UCDavis

I saved this false tarantula (Calisoga longitarsis) last night from the fire pit. She came in with the firewood. I set her in a very shallow dish of water to cool off. I thought she wasn't going to make it, but look at her after a few hours of recovering in the garden.

Saw this amazing giant silk moth on the side of the house in Occidental, CA. It was so large. The wings were about 2.5-3 inches long and I can only guess how wide the wings were when open. #MothMonday

Getting geared up to do some #gooseneck #barnacle research this summer UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory Jackson A Gross CA&ES, UC Davis

Have you ever seen an #inkeeper #worm (Urechis caupo) #ultrasound? This a cross section of the animal. You can see the #peristaltic contractions in the clip. Sorry the patient is mislabelled as a peanut worm. UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory

Massive #waves UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory. This was the result of the biggest wave I've ever seen. It came up over the bluff and I thought it was going to hit my office window. Actually ran from my office because it was so much water.

#Redwood tree fairy ring from my yard. Have a great weekend, y'all. #nature

Jackson Hargreaves, a biology student at @santarosajc, spent last summer at the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory as part of the SRJC-BML Internship Program, where he focused on sustainable #aquaculture for red #abalone under Dr. Sara E Boles (@abalonequeen.bsky.social)'s guidance: marinescience.ucdavis.edu/blog/summer-su…
