The SHELF crew had an egg-sail-ent sunrise this morning as they continued to collect fish eggs on the West Florida Shelf to help us better understand spawning dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico! #GOM_SHELF @FIOTweet @virome_girl @USFCMS @USFResearch

@TrevorABranch I wondered the same since that book was published 10 years ago.

@FishEcologyLab Interesting. I wonder if that is still the case given how often Google changes their algorithm.

Question about keywords for scientific papers: I've always figured that the title and abstract include most keywords, and therefore I should only include keywords not listed in the title and abstract. Or are there people that only search keywords?

First official CUFES collection underway as the team begins to "mow the lawn" across the West Florida Shelf to bring back fish eggs that @virome_girl will DNA barcode! #GOM_SHELF

The Weatherbird II headed offshore this morning for a 12-day cruise to collect fish eggs across the broad West Florida Shelf using a Continuous Fish Egg Sampler (CUFES). #GOM_SHELF @FIOTweet @virome_girl @USFCMS @USFResearch

Really looking forward to what @OliviaBlondheim's dissertation reveals about water filtration services oysters provide!

@BenDW Congrats, Ben! Definitely well-deserved and thank you for your contributions to the field!

Very impressive body of work!

@TJNear Wow, this is a really impressive body of work. Great stuff!

The classification of ray-finned fishes monograph just dropped! bioone.org/journals/bulle…

Latest paper from Spawning Habitat & Early-Life Linkages to Fisheries (SHELF) used DNA barcoding & PO models to estimate fish egg transport. Eggs spawned on the inner & middle West Florida Shelf tended to be retained and eggs from the outer shelf exported doi.org/10.1111/fog.12…

@jess_schulte @smbrander The tiger sharks are the #1 reason I don’t dive in Oregon

A postcard to my daughter from my coastal NC-based parents. Must be retaliation for me not calling home frequently enough.

@j_wilson_white @smbrander I'm hear to clear up some misconceptions

@BarbieriSue Very cool, Sue and Mike!

Have you ever thought about the evolution problem if fish offspring survival is driven by random, extrinsic processes? Check out our new paper! - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fa…

@DrFishCounter I'm in love with seahorses

not my chair, not my problem

Really cool stuff! Great job!

@hanvanzan I find that using the phrase "for safety purposes" on receipts works very well at universities. I had to argue this to purchase sunscreen for my field crew. I argued they wouldn't deny a chemist an apron, gloves, and goggles to protect their skin.

In August, I used my startup funds to purchase an air purifier to take between my office and classroom. Today, I reimbursed the university for that purchase "because it does not support research and only benefits one person."

@smbrander @DrBirdLady @ReservoirWebs @ucdavis @UNCWilmington @HatfieldMSC If you have MOCC, this should be rubber stamped. And if they don't require MOCC, they need to be clear about what they DO require.

@DrBirdLady @ReservoirWebs @ucdavis @UNCWilmington @HatfieldMSC I’m pushing back but that may backfire. I’m tired, just want to do my research.

I have operated small research boats on both coasts of the country since 2008. Been approved @ucdavis and @UNCWilmington. @HatfieldMSC just told me I cannot operate boats here unless someone with experience goes out with me. I have tenure. I am LIVID.
