Please share! We’re recruiting a PhD student to study microplastic presence, distribution & impacts in Rhode Island, USA. Join a large, collaborative, statewide capacity-building project funded by #NSF. 🌊🔬 shorturl.at/KmBlC #PhDposition #Microplastics #plastictreaty

Congratulations to @sdavisplastics for passing the Doctoral Defense! So proud of all that you’ve achieved on understanding microplastic pollution presence & impacts! #Echinonerdlab @universityofri @uricels @rhodeislandsg

Please share with your undergraduates! Are you passionate about addressing ocean plastic pollution? Then apply for one of our @NSF Research experiences for undergraduates (REU) summer internships @universityofri Visit: web.uri.edu/plastics-reu/ #PlasticPollution #PlasticTreaty

Congratulations to @PleeTara for passing the Doctoral Defense today! So proud of all that you’ve achieved on sustaining green sea urchin production whilst in the #Echinonerdlab @universityofri @uricels @UMaine @USDA_NIFA

Fun interactive and immersive art @wndrmuseum

Congrats to @PleeTara on publishing the 1st PhD chapter on optimizing green sea urchin hatchery production with good recommendations: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Supported by @USDA @USDA_NIFA & collab. between @universityofri & @UMaine #echinonerdlab #seaurchin

@HBrowman This is fun! Here is mine which appears to be sea urchin themed along with a coincidental pentamerous symmetry shape - just like sea urchins! #echinonerdlab

Very cool tool to make a word cloud from the titles of your publications instantly (e.g. from your google scholar profile) - scholargoggler.com

Ever wondered how green sea urchins are produced for aquaculture in New England, USA? Then watch this video for a short overview: youtu.be/GbTmqI-iDz8?si… via @YouTube. Thanks for watching! @USDA_NIFA @USDA @universityofri @UMaineDMC @UMaine @PemeticSeaFarms #echinonerdlab

One of the nice outcomes of the work I do is enabling access to regionally produced sea urchin ‘uni’ (the orange stuff!) in New England! Delicious! @USDA_NIFA @USDA @SAREProgram @uricels #echinonerdlab #seaurchin #seafood

Excited to start our @SAREProgram Partnership trial with Casco Bay Mooring integrating Atlantic Sea Scallops with Green Sea Urchins in Maine USA! Let's hope we can expand both markets & reduce problematic biofouling! @USDA @USDAScience @UMaine @UMaineDMC @universityofri @uricels

Recruiting a PhD student for my lab! Come and work with sea urchins in Rhode Island with field work in Maine, USA!

Thanks to @PemeticSeaFarms in Maine for a great weekend. We're excited to start trials integrating green sea urchins with Eastern Oysters for biofouling control! Look forward to seeing the results over the next few months! @SAREProgram @USDA #echinonerdlab #echinoderm #shellfish

@rebecca_altman there was a really interesting textiles display in the @MITMuseum which was highlighting pollution issues

For our upcoming mesocosm experiments, we're working on creating a more naturalistic food stock (in this case, whole oysters) containing controlled doses of spike plastics for crab exposure trials! #microplastics #plasticpollution #trophictransfer #jonahcrabs

An interesting article covering the profitable business of scientific publishing & whether it's bad for science or not....I'd be interested to see your thoughts on this through this poll.... theguardian.com/science/2017/j…

@sdavisplastics Amazing work Ashley and Maureen! Congratulations and thank you for all of your phenomenal efforts in driving this science forward!

So proud of our lab's Coastal and Environmental Fellows, Ashley and Maureen, for showcasing their amazing projects from the summer at their poster symposium. Ashley was awarded 2nd place poster for her plastics exposure work with blue crabs!!! The pinches were worth it!!
