Dr. Chase James

Fascinating work using #eDNA to assess the marine microbial community off the California Coast! Nice work @ChaseCJames and team! 🦠🌊🚢

In a new study out this week in @NatureComms, scientists with Scripps Oceanography, @JCVenterInst, and @NOAA describe using tools of #genetics research to evaluate the diversity of marine life off the California coast. scripps.ucsd.edu/news/scientist… #NSFfunded #DNA #eDNA

Here, @ChaseCJames et al. find that spatial patterns and temporal changes in nutrient supply explain marine microbial community structure and diversity in the Southern California Current region nature.com/articles/s4146… @andreweallen

@steffwould Thanks! And thanks for help editing the scripps news article, definitely a team effort!! 😁

@ChaseCJames Congrats Chase! Heard you on NPR on my drive home this evening 🤩 kpbs.org/news/local/202…

First, first authored paper of my PhD is finally out! Two weeks before I defend and published on my birthday! Check it out nature.com/articles/s4146…

@apezner Thanks!! 😁

@ZackGold15 Thanks! Yes we’ll have to chat for sure!

@the_cow_is_co Thanks Kayla! 😁

Look at this badass paper my badass friend published!

@Hao_and_Y Thanks @Hao_and_Y !

@ChaseCJames Congrats!! 🎉🥐

@the_cow_is_co @PlasticsJenni @the_cow_is_co you must be Samwise! Frodo wouldn’t have gotten very far without Sam 😁

@the_cow_is_co @PlasticsJenni Hahaha too kind! Although I am definitely feeling that Frodo gif right now 😂

I see my people in these.. @PlasticsJenni is a Gandalf and @ChaseCJames is a simultaneous Frodo/Legolas (quite the combo 😉)

@the_cow_is_co Right, that’s exactly what I was thinking 🤣

@ChaseCJames The very realistic demise of corals because of their gluttonous obsession with chomping microplastics is haunting.. perhaps that’s why?

Teaching tomorrow... I'm not like a regular postdoc. I'm a cool postdoc. #postdoc #teaching #artiste #thisishowcoralsworkright #teamfish

Despite the disappointing outcomes from the #COP26 climate conference, there are reasons for hope, writes @ChaseCJames, a Scripps PhD student and member of the @UCatCOP delegation. Read his post-event analysis here ⬇️ scripps.ucsd.edu/news/amid-letd…

Check out this article I wrote about my experiences at COP26 this November! scripps.ucsd.edu/news/amid-letd…

It was great to see @GPS_UCSD @Scripps_Ocean students here at #COP26! I’m grateful that we have many San Diegans here advocating for climate action at home and abroad. #SDinGlasgow

How do we address climate change in San Diego? Housing, housing and more housing. Providing affordable housing leads to positives outcomes for all. Reduced carbon footprints, job opportunities and many knock on effects that lead to a greener economy

@ToddGloria reminding everyone that ambitious climate goals can happen at the city level, even when the former federal US administration wanted to turn a blind eye to this global crisis. Great to see my city present in the global conversation here at #COP26

One solution is engineered timber. Wood, rather than other products such as steel and concrete can have far lower carbon impacts and can be a sustainable resource if managed properly. 2/2

Today theme at #cop26 is cities, regions and the built environment. How can investors in construction help to mitigate climate change? While working internally to reduce CO2 emissions in their companies can help, 90% of carbon costs come from materials 1/2
