Postdoctoral Scientist at @BigelowLab. Studying coral reef ecology and responses to Anthropogenic stress🪸 🐟🔥🔁 🫧
Joined March 2019
SRS Doug Rasher and his team assembled the first comprehensive study of Maine’s kelp forests in two decades, showing widespread collapse as water temperatures rise. Their findings were just featured on the front page of @bostonglobe. Read More:

Temperatures have become too warm in the southern parts of the Gulf of Maine for kelp forests, a foundation for marine life. Much kelp has disappeared and been replaced by red algae.

Speaking of my next chapter, I am joining @DouglasRasher 's lab at the Bigelow Lab for Ocean Sciences as a postdoc, studying trophic ecology of herbivorous fishes on coral reefs. We've already started the fieldwork, and I'm thrilled to be part of such a wonderful team! 🙂🪸🌊

Research by Sara Swaminathan, an EES Ph.D. student, published in @ScienceAdvances sheds light on the impacts of stony coral tissue loss disease in the Caribbean. Learn how this is reshaping coral reefs and threatening marine biodiversity @UFcoastal 🔗: https://t.co/YSCCRsojhl.

Stony coral tissue loss disease has severely impacted Caribbean coral reefs. A new study assesses coral reef community vulnerability to the disease and predicts that fish responses will vary geographically and across functional groups. https://t.co/zRbZqCDIp6

Ecological networks within coral reef ecosystems are predicted to affect reef fish responses to stony coral tissue loss disease.

Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist. Intense & exciting to have my essay published in @nytimes exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance Mapping fungi w/family @spununderground @nytopinion: https://t.co/VMzSxgm6EN (photo 2011, Kenya)

One of my warm-up problems coming out in Science Advances in the next couple of weeks - stay tuned!! :) 🐟🪸🦠
Fun Fact: It is very common for a "warm-up problem" for a student's PhD thesis to turn into almost the entire thesis because it turns out to be much harder than we thought it would be. It is similarly very common for that warm-up problem to be extremely valuable in its own right.

Six months after an extreme marine heat wave, Caribbean corals are still suffering. Like recuperation after a long illness, recovery could take a while, @HakaiMagazine reports:

Six months later, the bleached corals are still recovering.
