Longtime lab member, Carly Dennison, gave an amazing PhD dissertation defense on Friday! 🄳⁣ ⁣ Her research focuses on stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), and how disease dynamics are mediated by the coral’s symbiotic algae, ultimately influencing the coral host’s disease

From Ipsos last month. People who answered factual questions about inflation, crime, and immigration incorrectly were "more likely to opt for Trump," while those who answered correctly preferred Harris. Disinformation and lack of basic education and knowledge are destroying us.

MORE THAN A MILLION CORALS KILLED when in 2013 dredging @portmiami smothered 278 acres of corals in sediment. Now as Army Corps of Engineers gets ready for a deepening & widening project at Port Everglades scientists are making sure the Port Everglades Corals are protected. (1-2)

There are more than a million corals at risk near #PortEverglades. A research team from Shedd Aquarium Ross Cunning led a scientists from University of Miami Miami Waterkeeper to document & map out where the corals are and come up with a plan to protect them before dredging begins.

I've just explored the brand-new tidyplots package in R, and it’s impressive how effortlessly it enables you to create beautiful, publication-ready plots. Designed with scientific papers in mind, tidyplots lets you build, adjust, and refine plot components gradually, all with a

Climate literacy principle #4 As of 2021, Earth had warmed by about 1.1°C above preindustrial levels. The current rate of warming is roughly 30x faster than the rate at which Earth warmed as it emerged from the last ice age. More: climate.gov/teaching/clima…

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

We’re allowing ourselves to be governed by oligarchs & corporate stooges at the worst possible moment. We use this moment to fight for a new politics, free from corporate & oligarch money, or it’s fascist authoritarianism, followed by collapse, then followed by not much at all.

We knew it, but seeing the data laid out – it's still shocking: higher taxes for most, deep cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all to fund tax breaks for the top 1%. It's difficult to fully grasp the scale of the con being perpetrated on Americans right now by the Trump administration.
