Research Update! I collected blood samples from nesting green & loggerhead #seaturtles to begin to connect sea turtle #health & #ecology-funded by the #SeaTurtleGrantsProgram ($: sale of the FL #SeaTurtleLicensePlates!) Stay tuned for the results! @UCFTurtleLab @erin_seney

@sierraceratops I know it feels rough at the moment but you’re doing great and you’ve got great things ahead of you! Don’t forget all of the amazing things you’ve accomplished already!

2023 has been a difficult year for me. Rejected from every single internship, award, and part-time job I've applied for - I guess it's important to learn early on that rejection is a part of life

To the #SERSTM2023 attendees, I think it would be helpful to get a count of how many people came home with COVID. And it may help folks make decisions before #ISTS41_Cartagena. Please RT.

A quick FYI to #serstm2023 friends so folks can make informed decisions!

@sierraceratops @UCFTurtleLab @UCFBioREU You did a fantastic job and it was so great working with you!!

thanks so much to @UCFTurtleLab for having me as part of the @UCFBioREU last summer, and to @TiffDtheTurtle for being an amazing mentor!

I had so much fun presenting updated data from my summer research at #SERSTM this week! I estimated the diet composition of oceanic juvenile green and kemp's ridley turtles using a stable isotope mixing model

All research was done under permits: MTP-171, 186, 256; NMFS-19508, 26268

And a special shout out to @jeenmarine and @biologist_abby for their support at their first conference as UCF MTRG members!

The @ucfturtlelab showcased some of our research at #serstm2023 this week along with many other talented scientists from the #seaturtle community! We even had opening remarks from @wildcorwin! 🧵Check out the results!

Very exciting talk and paper by @Matt_D_Ramirez and coauthors looking at hawksbill #seaturtle diet and growth rates! #ecology #stableisotopes #serstm2023

Excited to be in Orange Beach, AL for the #SoutheastRegional #SeaTurtleMeeting! #SERSTM #scicomm @UCFTurtleLab

@HAichelman @DaviesswPhD Congratulations!!

Really excited to defend my dissertation next week!! Hard to believe it’s here, but looking forward to summing up 5 years of work in one hour 🪸 Reach out to @DaviesswPhD or me for zoom info if you’re interested!

@melbirds5 @SmulteaSciences Congratulations! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

I am so pleased to announce I joined @SmulteaSciences last week as their new Strategic Growth Director and Principal Scientist. I’m looking forward to working at Smultea to help minimize human impact on wildlife while supporting #RenewableEnergy. It is an exciting road ahead!

@DenisRValle @mattylarsen30 I’ve attended some of the previous sessions and they are great! This could be helpful for what we were talking about today…

@ISTS41Cartagena @MeropeMoonstone !!!

Are you going to the Cartagena Symposium, and you are looking for a roommate? Write a comment in facebook.com/InternationalS…, and receive responses there from other symposium participants. SEA you all soon!!!

@Matt_D_Ramirez @UNCW_BaMB Congrats!! Looks like a great class!

✅ Class 1, Lecture 1 as a #newPI @UNCW_BaMB in the books. Def exhausted (class is 5-6pm 🙃) but also excited for the start of this new career stage! Might finally be sinking in that I’m a professor now…

A huge congrats to the newly minted Dr. Phillips!!! @SeaKatrina

Had a good #fieldwork day on the #IndianRiverLagoon yesterday - hot but beautiful weather, no code Ms 🐬, three #seaturtle captures, a large (& successfully released) bull #shark, & a rockstar #UCFTurtleLab crew!
