New paper alert!!! 🚨📃🚨 Led by the awesome Sarah Magozzi and with @clivetrue.bsky.social and many other data contributors, we test isoscape construction in the Med using extensive compiled opportunistic data (1000's of measurments) doi.org/10.1016/j.po...

Fab, thought provoking talk by @bd-stew.bsky.social about the value of citizen scientist- & fisher-collected data. From octopi to sharks, we can learn a lot from people who are in the sea every day (while we tap away on laptops & social media!). Get out there and talk/build relationships 🙌 #FSBI2026

1st talk of #FSBI2026 is from Jack Jones awardee, Rashid Sumaila, who pays tribute to Jack Jones while also professing to be the "silo smashing guy"! Rashid's talk "MPAs as economic correctives" explores ocean governance beyond western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic economics.

New #isotope #isoscape paper.. Sarah Magozzi leads a huge team building isoscapes for the #Mediterranean Tldr: state of the art statistical models cannot compensate for systematic variance in opportunistic data. Important finding in AI meta-analysis world -cannot just rely on compiled data.

Check out my recent #JFB Editor's Choice: "What big eyes you have! Well, until 500 m, that is": doi.org/10.1111/jfb..... Using an incredible image repository, authors show that larger eye investment peaked at 500m, after which expensive eye structures weren't worth it. Paper by Pinti et al.

For those who reached out asking how to help: This gofundme is specifically for graduate students who lost personal items, computers, tablets, etc. in the fire. We were told that these items are not retrievable or reimbursable -an added burden for students during a devastating time. Plz share 🌊💙

Lots of people have reached out asking how they can support us after the devastating fire in the MSL building, the heart of @cmarinescience.bsky.social Here’s one way, a GoFundMe organized by our graduate students - gofund.me/4373c6ff3. Please share widely, and thanks for helping our community!
