In the last couple of days Matteo Monti, PhD and I were at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium with @CuesClues Jennifer Sneed Natalie_Danek collecting crustose coralline algae (#CCA), #octocorals and Porites larvae. Here is a video of the #coral #larvae spawned in one night! 😍

Happy World Oceans Day!! The CHAMP lab celebrated by educating the public on #sctld. Let today be a reminder of how important our oceans are and how vital it is to keep them clean and healthy! 🌊🪸🌎

Come check out AES06 - Emerging Environmental Pathogens today at 1:45 PM during #Microbe2022! This session includes many awesome people, like our collaborator @lebetimonas as well as our very own Erin Papke talking about her #SCTLD research!

🚨Job announcement🚨 We are hiring a Contract Technician (Bachelor's level) to support our 3D modeling efforts of corals infected with #SCTLD. App due 7/18!

Girl squad for our application of probiotics last week! What a power team!

The C-COT working group is putting into practice yesterday’s theory session by Dr Greta Aeby on Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease monitoring in today’s field session on Grand Caymans’ coral reefs. Thank you Cayman Islands Department of Environment for all the field support during the C-COT workshop!

Hotel ballroom science. Kelly Pitts from the The Coral Health and Marine Probiotics Lab prepping some demo probiotic paste (everything but probiotics) for our joint booth at Coralfest tonight on Grand Cayman.

This model coral reef is made up of hundreds of overlapping photos using a technique called photogrammetry. At yesterday's C-COT workshop, Will Green Perry Institute for Marine Science (PIMS) explained how to gather data from imagery to better understand how reefs are changing and inform their management.

We're so happy to be invited & share about our development of probiotic treatments to fight #SCTLD in the Caribbean! It was so exciting to meet others passionate about stopping this disease & we're thrilled to continue working with everyone!

Kelly Pitts lead a team in Grand Cayman to show how to use probiotics to treat corals with #SCTLD along their reefs! Although no bacteria was involved this time, everyone now knows how to use our bagging and paste methods! Great job, Kelly!

Dr. Blake Ushijima Erin Papke and Kelly Pitts discussed the benefits of using probiotics to treat #SCTLD at an invention workshop in Grand Cayman hosted by Cayman Islands Department of Environment and the C-COT working group. Thanks for inviting us! it is wonderful to see such passion for treatments! JNCC

It was such a privilege to be a part of this workshop! Thank you for inviting me to discuss probiotics. Everyone is so passionate about protecting the reefs in these overseas territories. It is inspirational!

Carolina Melendez Declet, Kelly Pitts, and @kscheue22 attended the IRL Science Festival! They showed young scientists how we treat corals with probiotic paste, only this time using elementary school slime. It was clear they had a great day as every inch of the table was covered in goo!🧪👩‍🔬

Princesses, vampires, and mad scientists! This Halloween party had it all. This Marine Station surely knows how to have fun! 💀🎃🪦🧟👑🦇✈️☮️🐈‍⬛SMS Benthic Ecology Lab SmithsonianMarineStn @CuesClues Kelly Pitts @kscheue22 Jess S Glanz Jennifer Sneed Carolina Melendez Declet Natalie_Danek Emma Chesley (she/her)

Our paper on probiotic strain McH1-7 is here!! 🙌 See how this strain combats #SCTLD!

🚨 Our paper on probiotic strain McH1-7 is finally here!! 🚨 Check out our publication to see how well this strain fights and inhibits the transmission of #SCTLD!

Doing my best to be a cool mom over here wearing leopard print for the Miami night life, but something tells me it's not working... 🤓🧪🧫🔬

Publication alert! Working with The Coral Health and Marine Probiotics Lab Dr. Blake Ushijima and Chris lab, we investigated microbial size classes associated with the transmission of #SCTLD

Here are some 3D model of our corals treated with probiotics! See how we use these models to measure coral tissue surface area on #SCTLD infected M. cavernosa treated with probiotics! 3d.si.edu/object/3d/trea…
