Photo of octopus eggs by Erica Donlon Some cool stuff from ScienceDaily Females only lay eggs once and then guard them without eating until they waste away and die!

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! Did you know that a female octopus can lay up to 400,000 eggs? bit.ly/3m2wzS1 Photo Cred: Erica Donlon

Over the moon to share news of our recently funded project - 'Toys for Turtles'. We will be running education programs on #plasticpollution in Indigenous communities in NE Arnhem Land, turning marine debris into useful resources!🐢 #WorldEnvironmentDay2023 adelaide.edu.au/newsroom/news/…

🦑🧠 In a recent podcast episode, i got to chat with Erica Donlon Durante a cephalopod researcher about the incredible biology of these creatures. Tune in to our interview to learn more! #Cephalopods

Ultimately, #WorldOceanDay is about bolstering information and hope. What better to symbolize hope than the birth of the next generation? On the first dive of the #OctoOdyssey expedition, we witnessed a gripping struggle as shrimp began eating octopus eggs and larva. 1/2

🐙🥛 Who needs cow's milk when you can have octopus milk? Just kidding! (It's an enticing and horrifying thought!) Tune in to my chat with Erica to hear more fascinating facts about cephalopods! #octopus #cephalopod #marinelife #funfacts #oceanlife Erica Donlon Durante

Not all octopuses are created equal - some are more outgoing than others! (just like us) Erica Donlon Durante has legit all the fun facts about octopus!

Pretty great view from my new home office back in the ʻĀina 🥰 MARIS Lab UniSA Future Industries Institute UniSA #phdlife #homeoffice #hawaii

The first paper of my PhD has been published in ICES Journal of Marine Science 🥳 Dr Zoë Doubleday Jasmin Martino UniSA Future Industries Institute Oxford Journals #octopus #ageing #marinebiology Read about how I aged a commercially harvested octopus species ⬇️ academic.oup.com/icesjms/advanc…

Broke the summer relax mode to chat to Ashlea Kunowski 7NEWS Adelaide about the spectacular jellyfish bloom captured by rec divers in South Australia. It’s gobsmackingly beautiful.

The thesis is done and out of my hands! Now accepting job offers 😁 UniSA Future Industries Institute MARIS Lab #WomenInSTEM #marinebiology #cephalopodecology

So proud of Maris Lab’s first PhD student Erica Donlon Durante! You did your PhD with aplomb and with some significant curveballs thrown in. 5 papers in 3 years (1 accepted, 2 in review and 2 nearly there!). UniSA UniSA Future Industries Institute

With #octopus becoming more popular, how can we ensure they are not over fished, given their short life span? UniSA scientists Dr Zoë Doubleday & Erica Donlon Durante have created the first 'survival guide' to ensure this ancient animal continues to thrive brnw.ch/21wIHK1
