I’m so stoked for CTEL members Samantha Persad (MS student) and J’mie Lawrence (#REU student)! They did an awesome job presenting at #WSN2022 today! The room was so loud and crowded it was basically a mosh pit 😹 at a Seattle grunge rock concert in the 90s, and they rocked it 🤙!

Look at these wonderful science goofballs! Thanks ⁦CTEL⁩ for coming all the way to Oxnard and rocking #WSN2022 this year! (This is a GIF series of photos of 7 lab members all dressed up in silly costumes, going full ham, and making fun faces)

Amazing news!!! CTEL PhD student Rhodalyn Tetteh just won an honorable mention award for best student lighting talk at #WSN2022!! For her project with Reyn Yoshioka Annika Sullivan and I on urchin shredding of plastic ropes and creation of micro-plastics. Congrats Rhoda!

1/2 Did you know that forests are found in oceans too? In Gwaii Haanas, kelp forests were disappearing, leaving less habitat for many species – but now, the tide 🌊 is turning. #BritishColumbia #COP15 #biodiversity

We have a new study on Pycnopodia predation on purple sea urchins! Our lab experiment and model finds that the recovery of #SunflowerSeaStars will be key in #kelp forest restoration. w/ Dr. Sarah Gravem @DanielKOkamoto et al, University of Oregon Oregon State University The Nature Conservancy in California royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

And, for my favorite paper I’ve published so far 🥁🥁🥁 we measured predation of #sunflowerseastars on sea urchins and found that they eat them fast enough that they are strong top predators that likely prevent urchin barrens! And they chow down on starved urchins from barrens!

Want to know what’s happening in this rad video? We measured predation by #sunflowerseastars on urchins, and used a model to show that sea star declines, urchin increases and kelp declines are linked! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

My friends, let's get back to what twitter is really here for: the fun, geeky stuff behind the science, the LOLs, the crying laughing cat emogis 😹..... I think y'all need to know the names of the Pycnopodia in our experiment. (from the supplemental files) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

A picture says 10,000 words? 👀 (This is the full word count of our new paper on Pycnopodia predation on purple sea urchins). Epic photos by Dr. Lynn Lee, showing the halo effects of the 'landscape of fear' that the #SunflowerSeaStar creates for urchins. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Hey-yaaaa! CTEL research featured in the The New York Times this week!! x.com/awegalloway/st…

Whaaaat? CTEL research also referred to in the The Washington Post this week!! wapo.st/3SQwyfQ
