The “final” promotion of my academic career @WHOI came thru Friday, so now that I’m sooooo Senior, I spent the weekend being a lazy saltwater bum, a position I also really excel at. Thank you to everyone who helped me get here, as well as all the luck I got along the way! #oldPI

10 years ago, I had a crazy idea to do stable isotope probing on the seafloor. Now it is published w/ my fave ROV on the cover! A real dream team that helped make this very challenging project happen- Funded by @MooreFound @NSF @NOAA #scienceontheseafloor aem.asm.org/content/87/9/e00…
ALT The sampling arm of an underwater remotely operated vehicle samples hydrothermal vent fluid from rocks that are covered in microbial mat, tubeworms, and limpets
Just added my two great female mentors Anne Giblin and @JulesDeep. Their guidance and advice was and continues to be invaluable.
Want to highlight how women mentors have shaped your career? Please fill this out & pass along. docs.google.com/spreadsheets… @HolliePutnam @DaviesswPhD @NSilbiger @Cnidarians_Rock @NewellLab @Tessa_M_Hill @RogersLabUCD @allysauris @subsurface_life @CoralTrace
Glad to be able to contribute a small part to this.

Two weeks since our first case and NS is looking pretty good. Based on the first 10 days of growth we should have almost double the number of cases that we have now. If we keep staying inside and #SocialDistancing, we may actually win this battle. Stay strong NS.
Just to be clear the red line is the curve based on the first 10 days and the grey dots are the number of cases in NS. The case numbers are from novascotia.ca/coronavirus/#c…

2. A big thank you to @DalScience MSc student Katie Frame for keeping things under control and getting all our samples back safely and still frozen.
1. What a 36 hours it has been. 2 cancelled flights, an extra night in Boston, a late night drive across the city to the only place that dry ice at 11 pm, a lost cooler, many frantic phone calls and texts, a 12 hour drive, and a broken LSC key pad to top it all off.

Excellent opportunities at #DalhousieU, @DalScience, and @OceanFrontier for US based graduate students to gain experience conducting oceanographic research abroad through the #LOREX program.
Water isn’t confined to international boundaries, so why is your research?
Announcing #LOREX, new @NSF-funded #ASLO program offering professional development and #international #research opportunities in #aquaticscience for graduate students. Details at bit.ly/ASLOREX
