Julie Huber, PhD

@NeilShubin Congrats Neil!

Some personal news...

@seaWillis Congratulations Dr Willis! What next?

✨️ Yay PhD! ✨️ Amazing finish to an amazing five years at #MIT_WHOI. One week later I'm finally coming down off the excitement (and stress). More top predator adventures to follow! 🐟⚔️ #PhDone

I recently partnered with two authors to continue my financial, technical, and technological critique of deep seafloor mining (DSM). I continue to believe that the non-environmental aspects will make it fail. Technology has moved on from making it viable. innovationzero.com/zeroin/deep-se…

🌊 New DOSI policy brief on deep-sea environmental impact research for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR)! With a growing focus on mCDR, it’s crucial to understand the unique challenges posed by deep-sea ecosystems. Check out the brief here: buff.ly/4e7ZCIZ

We have extended the deadline to apply for two Assistant/Associate Prof in Microbiology positions at the University of Illinois through November! Come to the home of the Archaea! tinyurl.com/55aumzdt

Proud to have been part of the growth and nurturing of this field!

@DrJoyBuongiorno I can tell you wrote it ;)

My first editorial at Nature Comms is out! It's a weird thing not having your name associated with something you write. Still getting used to this =)

@adi_gajigan Congratulations!!!

How would you celebrate winning a @macfound #geniusgrant? For #WHOI sr scientist + Interim VP for Science and Engineering @bvanmooy, it was dinner with his wife! Van Mooy has studied #plankton for 2 decades. So what keeps him going? Find out from @WBUR- go.whoi.edu/wbur-macarthur

Opportunities to necropsy white sharks are rare so the unfortunate loss of this mature male will ultimately benefit science. Samples will be shared with other scientists including vertebrae for aging & tissue samples for pathology to stomach contents for diet studies and more…

Yesterday a 13’4” male white shark washed up on Nauset Beach. Today @GregSkomal from @MassDMF performed a necropsy. There were no obvious signs pointing to cause of death but tissue samples were secured for @shellspc to analyze. Here’s a Timelapse video of the necropsy:

Falcon Heavy launches @EuropaClipper, in full-color.

@ventmicrobes @bckubik12 Yeah Briana!!!!

Can’t wait to have this amazing leader in deep-sea science on the same continent!

On Indigenous People's Day, we reflect on our history and honor the Wampanoag communities who have promoted environmental stewardship of this land over millennia and celebrate partnerships that bring different ways of knowing together. 📷 "Preserving our Homelands" @MWTribe @WHOI

🛰 @EuropaClipper spacecraft separation confirmed! Thanks for the great ride @SpaceX! 🚀

NASA and SpaceX have completed the Launch Readiness Review for #EuropaClipper and we are GO for launch! 🚀 Beyond Earth, Jupiter’s moon Europa is considered one of the solar system’s most promising, potentially habitable environments. After an approximately 1.8 billion-mile journey, Europa Clipper will enter orbit around Jupiter in April 2030, where the spacecraft will conduct a detailed survey of Europa to determine whether the icy world could have conditions suitable for life. Liftoff of the Falcon Heavy is scheduled for Oct 14 at 12:06 pm EDT from LC 39A at @NASAKennedy.

🚀LAUNCH UPDATE! NASA’s #EuropaClipper is now targeting NET Monday, Oct. 14 for launch! @NASAKennedy is “all clear” after the storm and teams are moving forward with preparations for the mission to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. 📲blogs.nasa.gov/europaclipper/

"It's didn't look too bad". That's because we haven't had access. This morning I got over to Manasota Key and discovered the most catastrophic damage from Milton yet. Lots of homes obliterated. Video below. #Milton youtu.be/L_6XJr3cilc
