Please RT! I'm looking to get short statements from queer marine scientists & biologists (& related fields) about their experiences being queer in their fields. Any level of experience or career is okay, anonymous statements are possible. DM me here on Twitter or email me!
Thrilled to have our new NSF awarded postdoc @GobyPrincess! Can’t say that she’ll be any good at blending into an anemone, but she’ll figure out if clownfish are any good at it.

A day of sampling with your French postdoc naturally ends with a chicken, Brie, and wine picnic in the back of the truck- even in Western Australia 😂
Spot the clownfish! Sciencing hard over here at Coral Bay #clownfish #coralreef #research #marinebiology #findthefish
Sample processing continues! On one side, microbiome work and clownfish dissections, and on the other, high molecular weight DNA extractions for the host sea anemones. 1 week left!
Birthdays are important- birthdays in the field are more important! Happy 30th Birthday to SymBio Lab PhD student Tom Chiodo!
Any help on permit info?

Baptism by fire for first year grad students! The current and general diving conditions have been quite tough here in Western Australia with what the locals are saying is the first major swell of the winter.
The SymBio Lab is off on our first major research trip! We will be spending the next three weeks on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia studying the clownfish sea anemone symbiosis and sea anemone biodiversity broadly. Stay tuned for updates from the field!
