KAUST officially inaugurated its Coral Probiotics Village, the first underwater #coral city designed for the development of #CoralReef related research. The underwater ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by representatives of University leadership and @RSRC_KAUST researchers.

The first of our outputs from @SangerToL & @MooreFound Coral Symbiosis Genome project is out - we got together scientists from all around the world to develop; ‘Consensus Guidelines for Advancing Coral Holobiont Genome and Specimen Voucher Deposition’ frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

New study out on Molecular Phylogenetics & Evolution #MPE! Check out our latest paper about #phylogenomics of Porites from the Arabian Peninsula doi.org/10.1016/j.ympe…… @TulliaTerraneo @BenzoniFran @MLBerumen @ZacForsman @RSRC_KAUST @KAUST_News #corals #redsea

STARTING SOON: #SciCafeKAUST on 'Red Sea Exploration.' Join us live on social or Zoom, TODAY, March 17, at 4:00 pm (GMT+3) to hear panelists Profs. @BenzoniFran & Daniele Daffonchio and Lloyd Smith from @kaust_corelabs, moderated by @NaadiyaCarrim. kaust.link/3PGD

The artistically pleasing visual illustration of scientific research is not only key to present scientists' #research but it's also strategic to grab the general public's attention, as @BenzoniFran, associate professor from @RSRC_KAUST explained. #WEP2021 kaust.link/WEP2021-Wild-C…

@peixotors @RSRC_KAUST @bmmo_network @Gustavo_Duarte @hdmvillela @ErikaPSantoro To many more and to the discoveries to come.

The Red Sea is just AMAZING. Glad to be exploring it this week, a very good end for the crazy 2020:-) Photos by (or with) @BenzoniFran, ciao Bella! @RSRC_KAUST @bmmo_network @Gustavo_Duarte @hdmvillela @ErikaPSantoro

@duarteoceans @maritechture @_Megan_Nolan @TulliaTerraneo @RSRC_KAUST @CoralSymBiomiX @peixotors @MLBerumen No, actually not far from KAUST

@maritechture @_Megan_Nolan @BenzoniFran @TulliaTerraneo @RSRC_KAUST @CoralSymBiomiX @peixotors @MLBerumen So sad, southern Red Sea?

In the shadow of the worldwide pandemic a #coralbleaching event is unfolding in the Red Sea. Here to document it with @_Megan_Nolan on a cruise by #HaBB_Lab @BenzoniFran @TulliaTerraneo @RSRC_KAUST with @CoralSymBiomiX @peixotors @MLBerumen
