amazing first day at #11worldspongeconference ! I heard many good talks, met awesome people, and had dinner on a boat ⚓️ also check out our poster if you are curious about 3D growth of sponges, and please reach out with any questions 😊 I could chat about this topic for days

I am excited to announce the launch of @GirlsCodeIt_ , a free club that teaches coding to girls in wilmy! I’m so lucky to work with local business owner/moms Zoë Mathews and Kiara Bennerman to make this happen 🫶🏻 Read more about the club & founders at girlscodeit.com✨

It's official at last! We're hiring a postdoctoral fellow to come live at the beach in NC and play a leading role on metabolomics projects with our Caribbean Sponge Chemical Ecology Team as part of our new ~$1M NSF award. Link to apply: jobs.uncw.edu/postings/25730 . Please share!

Please share. We’re hiring a postdoctoral scholar with experience in small molecule mass spec/metabolomics to join our NSF-funded Caribbean Sponge Chemical Ecology Team. Fun people, exciting projects and field work in the Caribbean!

🎥 new video up! Encounters with a #whaleshark and #manta on Tubbataha Reef in the Philippine's Sulu Sea, 21 April 2022. Thanks to the guests and staff of the Philippines Aggressor for a wonderful time diving on this @UNESCO World Heritage site! youtu.be/Um4Ix3Su-aQ

Divergent results from testing the #sponge increase hypothesis for #mesophotic #reefs due to differences in replication and sampling bit.ly/meps_686_201

Mesophotic reefs are important ecosystems, but they are hard to get to and study. In our latest OA piece, our team of collaborators compared survey techniques for estimating benthic cover on Caribbean mesophotic reefs. Out now in @MEPS_IR ! 🔗 doi.org/10.3354/meps14…

Happy #July4th ! 🇺🇸 Here are some common Caribbean sponge species ❤️ Amphimedon compressa 🤍 Ircinia felix 💙 Callyspongia plicifera #savethereefs

I am thrilled to announce a new pub from my phd research, out today in @FrontMarineSci - just in time for #spongethursday! 🔥🤩 👀 keep reading for a summary 🧵 / 13 @PawlikLab @UNCW_BaMB @UNCWResearch bit.ly/SpongesDOM

Have you ever seen an #antique, cast-iron #aquarium? A romantic #Victorian novelty worthy of Valentines day💘 To learn about my most recent upgrades to one of the last of these rare items, check out the Pawlik lab YouTube channel 🎥bit.ly/AntiqueAquarium

@SANICHOLS_DU @JacksDiveLocker Thanks Scott! Yes, this was in December.

@PawlikLab @JacksDiveLocker Wow, Joe! Was this recent? How lucky! Looks like a really awesome dive.

Head over to the Pawlik lab YouTube channel for some more footage from beautiful #Kona, this time of manta rays feeding on plankton. Bait-fish also attracted an undulated moray eel! 🍣 Check it out here!🎥 bit.ly/AmazingMantaDi… Another great dive led by @JacksDiveLocker

New post on the Pawlik lab YouTube channel! Check out some highlights of our beautiful #dive along the #Kona coast in December 2020- starting with a #dolphin close-up! 🐬🐠🏝 Thanks to @JacksDiveLocker ! video🎥: bit.ly/KonaDive

@JezRoff Amazing that Dr. Wulff continues to get papers like this in places like Ecol Mono! And accepted in 1 mo! How does that work? A study that was done w/o diving, in less than 8ft of water in a mangrove habitat! See this uncited paper for the whole story: peerj.com/articles/4343/

Wow. Here’s a game changer for Caribbean spongivory: experimental assessment of 94 sponge species (13 taxonomic orders) to seven predator species across 4493 in situ trials: “The resulting data force reassessment of popular interpretations of several patterns and processes”

Happy #spongethursday ! Here's an untimely valentine made from a ❤️heart shaped excavating sponge (Cliona delitrix) 😏😍
