huge congratulations to @InesRaimundo_ and @NathaliaDelOrd, the first PhD graduates from the Marine Microbiomes Lab! 🎉 A proud moment for @peixotors and the entire lab. Wishing you both continued success in your future endeavors! 🎓🪸 #MarineMicrobiomes #KAUST #PhDGraduationH

Meet Ali Alabyadh, a BESE Ph.D. student and the first Saudi to be selected as one of the 13 young people to take part in the RE.GENERATION Future Leaders Cohort, organized and funded by The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (@FPA2). Ali is a geologist and a student in the #MarineScience program at KAUST, supervised by Prof. Raquel Peixoto (@peixotors), working on #coralrestoration in the #RedSea.

Congratulations for an amazing PhD Defense, Dr. @InesRaimundo_!!!🥳 Great Work!💪

Watch #KAUST Professor @peixotors and research scientist @hdmvillela alongside @RedSeaGlobal and @CORDAP_ in the @wbd documentary "#BeneathTheSurface: The Fight for Corals" on @Discovery channel tonight at 9:00 PM KSA time. #EarthDay #SaveTheCorals

.@KAUST_News associate professor @peixotors named the 2024 National Champion for #SaudiArabia by @FrontiersIn, marking a significant achievement for the Kingdom and the Arab world. Read full story: arab.news/57pmr

Breakthrough alert! 🚨First in situ experiment using coral probiotics shows probiotic uptake by corals and no detectable off-target effects. Check this massive field effort out! nature.com/articles/s4200… @KAUST_News @aeon_collective @CORDAP_ @ICRI_Coral_Reef @CoralVitaReefs

🚨Global warming may have already exceeded 1.5oC :-( @ICRSCoralReefs @ISME_microbes @aeon_collective @KAUST_News @gilbertjacka @AMI_SMIJournal @CORDAP_ @NOAAClimate @ICRI_Coral_Reef nature.com/articles/s4155…

#KAUST Professor of Marine Science @peixotors might just have the answer… A fascinating first talk from our esteemed faculty member at this year’s #COP28, putting forward a potential “solutions toolbox” to save corals. #CoralProbiotics #CoralRestoration #SDG14

#KAUST Professor Raquel S. Peixoto @peixotors wants the world to know we need to put microbes at the center of climate solutions and policy; read more in a @Nature Microbiology feature @COP28_UAE. kaust.link/Jt2h

🚨cool data alert! Here we wanted to assess enrichment and putative effects of coral probiotics to the environment. Results are great!! Stay tuned for the effects of probiotics on coral health during the 2023 bleaching event :-) Coming out soon! researchsquare.com/article/rs-341…

Join us for an underwater adventure! 🪸🐠

Today I could see the effects of the incredibly strong bleaching event that hit the Red Sea…it was gut wrenching… Hopefully these beauty will recover and thrive again in this reef ❤️ There is hope but we need to act now!

Why are microbes important for corals? 🪸 @Laura_Jayne08 from @MMicrobiomesLab has the answer 👇 #InternationalMicroorganismDay

On #InternationalMicroorganismDay we speak to @InesRaimundo_ from @MMicrobiomesLab about how probiotics could help buy us some time in the fight #ForCoral 🪸

Rising temperatures are expected to cause the 3rd global mass bleaching event in less than 10 years. Help us to collect valuable information on resistant coral colonies 🪸 Please report on globalcoralbleaching.com and share it! @peixotors

The combined strengths of #KAUST and #NEOM provides the research knowledge and infrastructure to continue building the world’s largest and most technologically-advanced coral restoration nursery. #AcceleratingImpact #SaudiVision2030

This is why short-term band-aids, e.g., #coralprobiotics are urgent; to retain corals (at least some) while they exist/permanent solutions/CO2mitigation take place. What until then? We just watch? So sad 🥺 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… nature.com/articles/s4156…
