Dr. Kerri J. Smith 🐳👩🏼‍🔬

Is it just me, or does this Risso's dolphin skull resemble the Millennium Falcon?

First McMahon lab talk (of 10) in the books at #OSM24. Thanks @Matt_D_Ramirez for kicking things off with a fantastic talk on highly siloed coral reed food webs across major disturbance gradients. FYI Matt is recruiting a new MS student! #CoralReefScience #academicjobs

McMahon lab @URIGSO postdoc Dr. Stephane Martinez shares our collaborative work with communities in Ulithi Micronesia through @1People1Reef to develop a community focused and led photomosaic coral reef monitoring program. #OSM24 #CoralReefScience #CommunityScience pic.twitter.com/OJ7IlULLcj

Great talks by @Matt_D_Ramirez and #stephanemartinez (members of the @DrKeltonMcMahon lab, past and present) too kick off #OSM24 Coral reef trophic niches across reef disturbance gradients AND fish reef abundance and diversity changing with reef complexity. @URIGSO

We reconvene for round 2 in 45 minutes (2pm CST) - come nerd out about archives with us!

Recent McMahon Lab PhD grad @URIGSO, now @EPA postdoc @CatrinaNow shares insights into multidecadal shifts in pelagic-benthic coupling in the Gulf of Maine from molecular isotope records of zooplankton and deep sea corals. #OSM24 #Isotopes #ClimateChange #MarineFoodWevs

Opening up our past archives session is recent McMahon lab @URIGSO postdoc, now assistant Professor at @uncw @ScienceGirl_KJS, talking about the power of museum archives and strandings to explore past whale migration. #OSM24 #BlueWhales #MuseumArchives #Isotopes

The most impactful conference plenary I've ever seen. These are the stories we need to hear and the conversations we need to be having. #OSM24 #EnvironmentalJustice

Thrilled to share the findings of our recent study, made possible by intergenerational specimen collection efforts and the incredible teamwork and dedication of Miguel Camacho, @marcuschua, Manuel Ruedi, Darrin Lunde, @shrewangel, Hasmahzaiti Omar, @JenBiologist, & @treeshrew13

Please consider supporting @MCERCMarineEco; this is a wonderful marine education organization founded by a beautiful human I had the privilege meeting when we were grad students.

I am stoked to annouce that my masters has finally been published in @ASNAmNat! Here we investigated whether the evolution of a diadromous life history can alter rates of trait evolution and drive phenotypic convergence in clupeiformes. Check er out! journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10.10…

Can the effect of temperature on metabolism explain population trends of bluefin #tuna- and predict the future? In a new paper we use a stable #isotope based proxy to measure thermal sensitivity of field metabolism in Atlantic BFT tinyurl.com/4ctr9n75 #otolith #ecophysiology

I'm so so excited to share that @Zaazology is joining my new lab at @UNCW_BaMB, bravely embarking on the adventure of being my first graduate student! Wish him all the luck; he may need it. ❤️🐳

@Dr_Mastodonna Ever since I was about 8. So glad I'm not the only one.

Is anyone else worried about Eugene Tooms climbing through their vents? #XFiles #2023

This is JC. JC serves on our board as the Vice-President of Communications. She is a research associate at both the @NMNH and the @LSU_MNS. As an evolutionary biologist, she asks evolutionary questions about different organisms. Find out why in the video below! #BlackInNHMs

Meet our president, Adania! She is a PhD candidate at the @UF department of biology and the @FloridaMuseum. Adania is a fish biologist. She is passionate about introducing students of diverse backgrounds, particularly those most marginalized in STEM. #BlackInNHMs

📣 We’re excited to announce that applications for the Black & Indigenous Scholars Award in Mammalogy are now open! For folks who are doing anything related to mammals. Open to high school and up. Apply by Oct 15. 🤗 Spread the word! #ScienceTwitter mammalsociety.org/form/black-ind…

We just updated our large database of PhD fellowships. For each of the 190 entries, we provide description of the fellowship, link, amount, deadline, and eligibility criteria (e.g. citizenship). Downlonad this database here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

Happy 84th birthday to Claudette Colvin! She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant. Other women who refused to give up their seats before Rosa Parks A THREAD!

Come work with us! A 3-year postdoctoral research position in Holocene palaeobotany is available here at @NHMuseum_Bergen More info & application here ➡️jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…
