interviews with invertebrates

Hi folks - the science comic "interviews with invertebrates" now has its very own twitter page (@IWIcomics)! Follow along here for more invertebrate fun! New comics released every Wednesday 🐙🦀🦞🐛🦋🐜🐝 #scicomm #sciart #comic #interviewswithinvertebrates

@c_mckinley Thanks Claire!

Stoked to see @IWIcomics talking about Public Sensors publicsensors.org at the #EarthER21 Posters today! Such a cool resource and great group!

@rmbundy @UWOcean Thank you Randie!!

@frecholalia You are making me cry over here! Thank you for all the support!

Congratulations to Sasha Seroy, mastermind behind @IWIcomics, for a brilliant PhD dissertation and defense. I cannot imagine grad school without Sasha as a source of inspiration and support. She is an incredible scientist, teacher, and friend.

@c_mckinley Thank you Claire! And as always thanks for all your support ❤

At the defense of @IWIcomics and as always the UW Graduate student community is out in force. The last few weeks have been really tough and the larger community as suffered some tough personal losses and it is REALLY nice to have something to celebrate.

Who says you can't build snow invertebrates?

Ever heard of a benthic transect from 1000 ft deep -> intertidal? @awegalloway and I did some. We used submersible and scuba @MarineBiol_FHL (with support from @SeaDocSociety & @OceanGate). And found red urchins 932' below the surface! #UrchinSearchin cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmar…

Deception Island brought us some pretty amazing #IcyInverts- my favorite was this sunset-colored pycnogonid!

Check out those snail teeth 😍

12 hour dive into the depths of 3D slicer. Probs not that deep but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Check out this beauty! Can anyone guess the species?

One more for #MolluskMonday #Molluscmonday, an AMAZING Trinchesia sp sea slug, from Bali, #OceanFlowersCollection by photographer Dave Johnson with Nyoman Cois, facebook.com/photo?fbid=344…

I know, I know. It is not a fish. But I just can't stay in my lane. CT scanning is for everyone, even those without backbones.

Hey friends, it's been some time, but we have some exciting content planned for you all! Today marks the beginning of LATINX heritage month. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing the stories of several LATINX scientists who've made significant contributions to STEM research.

Bless your heart, weevil (Curculio sp.) bless your goofy little heart

New #sciart 🎉 Marine biodiversity is amazing! Can you name all 13 zooplankton in this mandala? #scicomm #zooplankton

Hello all!! Welcome to the official #BlackinMarineScience Twitter. We are SO excited for #BlackinMarineScienceWeek scheduled for November 29th-December 5th! Mark those calendars!! (Peep our new logo designed by @mobiusbrain ) #newlogo

The Giant Antarctic sea spider (probably the pycnogonid Colossendeis megalonyx) will always rank near the top of the charismatic megafauna I've held inches from my face. They breathe with their LEGS. Mind blown. #InverteFest

Water temperatures measured by @shoresta100 at Scripps Pier have broken more records: yesterday's 77.2 surface temp was a day record for August 20 and today's bottom temp of 76.1 is an overall record high. shorestations.ucsd.edu

The biggest invertefun I had all year: strapping an accelerometer onto a Colossendeis, with a kit and instructions sent from brilliant mad scientist Bret Tobalske #InverteFest

How cute is this lil friend? Celebrating #InverteFest from my garden today!
