. @eslam_16884 shares his PhD research on the #microbiomes of heat resistant #RedSea #corals with @PSUmBiome! . @eslam_16884 overviews rich history of bleaching monitoring on the GBR. Meanwhile, coral surveys in the #RedSea....... are starting to gain momentum!

Was cleaning up google drive & found my #APbio final. Switched my topic from elephants to coral-algal symbiosis the night before it was due & realized I wouldn't mind studying this the rest of my life.

A thread displaying how my ppt skills have (arguably) improved... (1/N) High school me basically thought I could bring corals back from the dead. With porifera?! 🧽🤦‍♀️

Plot twist! I’m #LiveTweetingMyPSATalk! Please share w/ #phycophiles who aren’t at #PSA2019 or maybe haven’t finished their morning beach walk yet…

#PhycologyWithoutApology @Symbiodiniaceae @PSUScience @PSAAlgae @protistologists @Symbiodiniaceae @PSUScience @PSAAlgae @protistologists I’m thrilled to be sharing my fav dissertation chapter (shh don’t tell the others) on the interactive effects of iron & heat stress on #Symbiodiniaceae

Some unsolicited musings in light of upcoming PhD recruitment from the LaJ lab grad students #PhDchat @PSUScience 1/4 Different people need different types of advisors at different points in their careers. There’s no unique formula, think about what’s best for you. #PhDchat @PSUScience 2/4
