Check out my new paper! Stoked to have this one out finally. 🔥🪸🧬 If your interested in Preconditioning experiments Coral heat stress Transcriptomics Stress memory This one’s for you! doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…

New paper out! We combined acute experimental heat stress and RNA sequencing to explore patterns of transcriptome plasticity and resilience to heat stress in a common Acropora coral from the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo 🪸 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Ningaloo’s northern reefs are bleaching with some corals already dying.🪸💔 Even ancient Porites, centuries old, are ghostly white. But south & outer reef corals fight on. 🤞 Hoping for cooler waters & recovery. 🌊🙏

This is Acropora tenuis in Exmouth Gulf, a renowned hotspot for resilient corals. Tenuis normally has a glorious pink-orange colouration. The white (bleached) branches are thousands of polyps starving & struggling to stay alive, the brown branches are dead, covered in sediment.

We are hiring a Molecular Ecology Lab Technician. Come join us in beautiful Western Australia and work with a dynamic team across a range of exciting projects. #metabarcoding, #WGS, #RNAseq aims.gov.au/about/careers-…

@1jonevans @uwanews @BiolSci_UWA I’ve got huge FOMO! Take lots of coral photos for me 🪸🐠

Another year, another fabulous cohort of ANIM2209 Zoology field course participants in Coral Bay ⁦@uwanews⁩ ⁦@BiolSci_UWA⁩

@thePeerJ @uwaoceans @jcu @apcrs2023 @JulianoBi0 @ReefFunctionHub Thanks so much @thePeerJ and what a great conference @apcrs2023 🎉

Right back at you @JulianoBi0 🤘 thanks heaps @la__cientifica

I was so stoked to see my first Australian #whiteshark at the weekend! Just driving back home after a day at Rottnest, we're so lucky to have such diverse marine life right off our coast! Thanks to Alan Gojanovic for sharing the footage, @StickDeclan @CleliaMula

We are continuing our quest for naturally heat resistant coral in Western Australia. This time we are canvassing the Exmouth Gulf. Prelim results show +9C doesn’t phase these tough coral…@aims_gov_au @minderoo @uwaoceans @StickDeclan @GrimaldiCam @JamesPGilmour #caro_twitterless

Congratulations to the @ExmouthResearchLab team who've successfully simulated a #coralspawn 👏 Researchers from @aims_gov_au and @uwanews will now examine why some #corals are more resilient to #HeatStress, in a quest to protect parts of the #Ningaloo reef from bleaching

It’s coral spawning time in northwest WA! Proud to be working alongside such inspiring young scientists @Shannon_Duffy_ @StickDeclan @LaurenceDNA on some exciting larval heat stress experiments. @aims_gov_au @uwaoceans and @ExmouthResearch the countdown begins!
