🇸🇬 So grateful to have spent last week with the @IUCNRedList Coral Specialists hosted by @NUSReef ! Busy but productive and also time to explore SG biodiversity above and below the water 🪸🐠 💡New skills ready to be employed in future research!

🌴 In Singapore as invited assessor for the @IUCNRedList of corals. Hosted by the @NUSingapore and @NUSReef, we will be reviewing the status of 400+ Indo-Pacific corals by the end of the week. 🚨 New updated assessment will be online in 2024! iucnredlist.org

Here's a story about a field DNA barcoding study done by researchers from @NUSingapore. ⭐They collected marine animals by SCUBA diving & DNA barcoded them from a diving boat!⭐ Amazing work & detailed protocols! Read our article on the study here👇 1/2 bento.bio/story/barcodin…

Had an amazing experience collecting octocorals in Singapore! Thank you very much everyone for the incredible hospitality and great science. It's a privilege to have a bit of Singapore in my PhD! @lkcnhm @jcu

We are happy to host Prof Catherine McFadden, Prof Yehuda Benayahu and Mr Stefano Borghi, from @harveymudd , @TelAvivUni and @jcu respectively. With us till 2 July to process and examine soft corals, we hope that they will enjoy their time here!

The @apcrs2023 co-organised by NUS & @nparksbuzz saw over 800 participants from almost 40 countries gather to exchange knowledge on coral and marine conservation. 2 #NUSResearch projects were also awarded grants. #NUSImpact news.nus.edu.sg/conserving-cor…

Introducing Family Pachyseridae & the most comprehensive scleractinian phylogeny to date. Congrats Randolf Quek, Danwei Huang @NUSReef & fellow co-authors. Stoked to include @wamuseum 🪸 samples in this study sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @Curtin_TrEnD @CurtinEandA

Nearing the end of my @ChurchillTrust Fellowship & it has been fun spending time in the field & museum with Danwei & students from @NUSReef Talking phylogenomics & generally nerding out over coral taxonomy 🪸 Looking forward to future collabs!
