Are you a phycologist (algae is your thing) who’s having a baby? Here are some nice phycological names for your child: Alaria Polysiphonia Lorica Holdfast Crustose Dulse Pseudoparenchyma Pit plug Sarcodiotheca gaudichaudii Xanthophyte

CODIUM! Also, holy cow, this "easy" side project reveals I'm a total Jon Snow when it comes to siphonous green seaweeds. Despite teaching #seaweed courses for years...

ngl I killed this shit

@invertebabe Yes you did!!

It's day 1 of our annual @HakaiInstitute kelp mapping #drone surveys! @KHinc & I were out at one of the sites where a new raft of #seaotters has been hanging out. Last year a barren, this year a #kelp forest.

Happy #phycologyfriday! We are looking for a new postdoc to work with an interdisciplinary team @Scripps_Ocean on #kelp #seaweed #ecology #carboncycling #climatechange and #microbialecology Link in bio and coralreefecology.ucsd.edu. Email: smithj@ucsd.edu for more info

@MontBaySeaweeds @BrackenLab It is very yellow here… bleaching?

@nudibranch_nerd @BrackenLab You're right!!! I've never seen yellow Chondracanthus!!!

Update… dreams do come true

@AmandaSKahn @BamfieldMSC Sounds awesome, thanks!!

@nudibranch_nerd @BamfieldMSC Enjoy! I love it there. Great science and many interesting things to explore. Be sure to take the rowboat over to the west side to get an ice cream and to check out Brady's Beach.

Heading up to @BamfieldMSC Sunday for two weeks! Hoping to see a sunflower star for the first time 🤓 and all the cool seaweeds!!

@kendyjnelly @BamfieldMSC Thank you!!
