@Buckette84 We'll be evacuating from Ft Myers. My guess is FGCU will close for most (if not) all of the week. Fingers crossed you guys stay out of the cone!

@Buckette84 We're likely gonna need to evacuate for this one 🫤

@mcleamj @fgcu Thanks! Got into my office this week and classes start the 19th!

@mattware_phd @fgcu I had not heard! Amazing news congratulations!

Big news! A new lab is coming to @fgcu! Starting Aug '24, I'll be an Assistant Professor of Conservation Biology in the Dept of Biological Sciences. If you are a current FGCU undergrad or a prospective MSc student interested in coastal conservation, reach out! #seaturtlenerds

A holiday present to all is in @ESR_IR! @Fuentes_MMPB led this amazing team investigating what we know and what we dont about the major threats to #seaturtles, including the need to address them in combination. Check it out at int-res.com/abstracts/esr/…. @UNCW_CMS @FSUResearch

Excited to see this data roll in!

@SeaKatrina Hey did anyone take you up on this? We're currently working on a nesting size paper for the northern Gulf and I was thinking a meta-analysis would be helpful!

👀Who is going to lead the meta-analysis?✍️ 🧵 Fin

Check out my article in the latest SWOT Report, released this week by @OceanicSociety at #ISTS41_Cartagena Several projects have documented⬇️average nesting sea turtle size or⬆️proportion of small nesters seaturtlestatus.org/articles/are-s… Published studies in🧵below - add any I missed!

Wooo! Go DOCTOR Ian!

There's a lot of concern in #SeaTurtleWorld about how #microplastics may impact nesting including incubation temperatures. So we took a crack at what concentration you would need to start causing problems. Check it out! @Fuentes_MMPB @FrontMarineSci frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

#ISTS41_Cartagena is in the books! It was amazing seeing everyone in-person again and I couldn't be more proud of my comrades on the Organizing Team. Excited for the 2024 Symposium in Thailand!

So proud of the work Luna's put into making an awesome presentation for #ISTS41 investigating what the size of our turtles on SGI may mean for conservation and population management #ISTS41_Cartagena @ISTS41Cartagena @Fuentes_MMPB @FSU_EOAS

@Fuentes_MMPB @FSU_EOAS Wooo! Go Luna!!

We are READY!!! Ready to eat, sleep, LOVE turtles and repeat for a very thrilling week. The Extended Program for ISTS41 is here! In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have a printed program this year. Instead, you can download it here ists41cartagena.org/wp-content/upl…

Had a great conversation with David Rainer at @bigbeachbrewing during #SERSTM about sea turtle nesting trends & threats along Alabama's Gulf Coast There are a lot of dedicated people working hard to conserve these threatened species. Keep up the good work! outdooralabama.com/articles/share…

Woo!!! Still a long road ahead but definitely in the right direction bbc.com/news/science-e…

Who hasn't been there? 🤣🤣

Excited to announce that I will be joining @UNCW_CMS as a post-doc researcher working on habitat mapping and suitability on Masonboro Island. So grateful for my time at @FSU_EOAS with @Fuentes_MMPB and can't wait to start with @joewlong and Stephanie Kamel! @UNCW_EOS @UNCW_BaMB

Halfway through our nighttime monitoring on St George Island! They've been hit-or-miss all week but fingers crossed for a busy Week 2. Stay tuned for more scenes from our nocturnal adventures! #turtlenerds #nerdingout @Fuentes_MMPB @conserveturtles @FSU_EOAS
