Thank you @dpaz_corals

A Life On Our Planet. This should be compulsory viewing for all children and adults alike.

Another future reef? Palythoa and Heliopora having a co-dominance party on Iriomote. #thisishowMISErolls

Megascience calls for megasize. #thisishowMISErolls

Best-dressed invert award.

Back in the office, and realize the one thing COVID has shut down more than anything is international shipments. We must have more than 10 lots of specimens and science-y stuff that needs to be sent around the world. #thisishowMISErolls

That 2020 feeling you get when you dive one of your favorite sites to find it not pristine anymore...

Time for some positive #conservationbiology tweets from Okinawa. How about this massive and healthy Heliopora colony from the east coast? #thisishowMISErolls

When you plan a trip to a remote island and the weather forecast says a typhoon will hit it right in the middle of your time there. Thanks 2020. #thisishowMISEblows

Meeting of zoantharian genome with collaborators.

Research in the time of COVID. Doing permanent plots for collaboration with @I_CAN_actually and @MariaBeger in 2 m swell was.... swell! Great navigation, buoyancy, and photography practice. #thisishowMISErolls

Future reef? Octocoral and zoantharian dominated reef in Oura Bay. #thisishowMISErolls @LabMise

スナギンチャク研究者のミーティングでした。The research team of zoantharians in MISE. @LabMise @JDReimer

Newest MISE offering - diversity of crinoids and all their associated beasts - from Indonesia! Congrats to first author on his first paper! #thisishowMISErolls Online version here: rdcu.be/b7Pc1

Our recent paper on abyssal fauna in eastern Australia led by @DrTimOHara is out. Cool finding is that up to 58% of the collected fauna is undescribed. More taxonomic work is needed on these specimens! I am glad to be a part of the team. mbr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our coral restoration and rubble article has been published today in @thePeerJ peerj.com/articles/9185 #ConservationBiology #Ecology #MarineBiology #thisishowMISErolls

MISE had 2 PhD students and 1 MSc student graduate yesterday. Two received the President's Award for outstanding academic achievement, and the other funding from Okinawa Pref for international research. Congrats! #thisishowMISErolls

Iōtorishima what a place! And a very successful expedition! @OISTedu @LabMise @timothyISBL @JDReimer #activevolcone #CO2 #ClimateChange

Field trip to an uninhabited, volcanic island out of cellphone and wifi range = as exciting as it sounds! #thisishowMISErolls @ravasi_lab @LabMise

Super happy join in the biodiversity festivities! Mixed pre-recorded 5 minute presentations on major achievements in marine biogeography using natural museum collections, digitized biodiversity data. @humboldtday #humboldtday humboldtday.org/event/marine-b…
