I was able to attend the UK Seagrass Symposium this past week, and present my MSc dissertation and my work with @projectseagrass.bsky.social. It was incredible to be a part of putting this conference on and to get to see all the @sosbangor.bsky.social students who are working in seagrass!

Happy World Seagrass Day 2025! 🌱
This World Seagrass Day we’ll be shining a spotlight on Water Quality.
There's still time to sign up to for our webinar on Thursday 6th March where we’ll be discussing how water quality is impacting seagrass and what we can do about it: ow.ly/j64i50V48jU

Americans are about to discover how science agencies fund universities. In both red and blue states. Slashing science = slashing jobs. Period.
Very clear the current regime has no intention of continuing to allow actual basic science in any form to continue with federal funding in the US.
Science funding agency threatened with mass layoffs
National Science Foundation staff heard the plans at a meeting Tuesday.

Eelgrass is a critical habitat for fish, protects against coastal erosion and stores carbon. But it's threatened by pollution and climate change. Dozens of local scientists are working to protect and restore New England's seagrass meadows.

New reseach out today from my time at Bowdoin (collabs aren't on bs yet): tinyurl.com/3cynp4rr
We found positive interactions between eelgrass and oysters in co-culture in ambient conditions. Interactions break down under future conditions (warming, OA, or both).
