Me: Did you forget to color the rest of the coral? Daughter (6yrs): No. Half the coral is bleached from the hot ocean🌡 Me(in my head): Wow. And that came from a 30 min classroom conversation. How can I broaden this message and concept? 🤔 @WHOI

Compared to taking visual observations of reef habitats, analyzing water microbes provides a more immediate picture of health.
