🌊💜Last day was sharing my Thinktank on Mentoring in an REU Setting for the FHL Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) mentors Friday Harbor Labs ! I shared my work on our UCSB FUERTE “Mentoring the Mentors” (Hofmann et al., Oceanography 2023) publication

#latepost #tbt Juneteenth in Miami🌺✨with Black in Marine Science ! Meeting Presidents of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers & celebrating the BIMS Immersion Program (BIP) was everything #WEOUTSIDE

🏅🌟Cheers to completing my first full academic year as a postdoctoral researcher ! Such an honor to be a part of this feature by UW SAFS fish.uw.edu/2024/03/an-amb…

1 month to go! Back to BZE Pt 2🇧🇿🇧🇿! I have the great honor of working in spaces where I hold heritage🌊✨#tbt my first relationship building fieldwork in BZE in January went SUPER well. Thank you for being such a great mentor Dr. Marisa Tellez !🔬

#tbt Scouting for sites for sea cocos🐙💦💕! Mangrove crawling paid off--we spotted over ~70 sea cucumbers! (Donkey dung sea cucumber, Holothuria mexicana) in January to kick off my pollution vs. invertebrates. Shout out the University of Belize & CRC team🇧🇿!

🗺️🧭🇧🇿2 more weeks to go before BZE Fieldwork Pt 2: Will she meet her goals in the field? Will weather & circumstance say otherwise? Likely so!😅 But she will smile through it regardless.✨🌺

📣CUC SQUAD, a marine science pilot I directed this Spring, hits UW College of the Environment FieldNotes' latest issue with some pitchy science journalism by our very own Anouk Janess 💦🐙 Read on Cuc Squad’s latest accomplishments UW SAFS !: fieldnotesjournal.org/new-blog/2024/…

CROCtober 3: Despite their looks, crocs are not invincible. Although crocodilians have the 2nd strongest innate immune system in the world, even they do not stand a chance to chronic pollution exposure. For the whole presentation, check out this link! youtu.be/WYkxo9J7ncM

✔️✨ Collected sea cucumbers & sediment in a 3-site mangrove crawl @ lagoon & reef! 💦 Dream team: University of Belize Prof. Arlenie Rogers, fishermen & students. 🙌🏾🌊 #tbt my EcoTrace Project analyzing pollutants in marine life & sediment!🐙
