Heading to CERF 2025 in a few weeks. Want to meet up and talk research on ecosystem models, oyster ecology, microplastics, or even meiofauna (there may not be many meiofauna ecologists at the conference)? Then let me know.

Come check out our Community Day on Saturday, October 18th from 10-2.

Can't wait til August to see who is presenting at #CERF2025. It's a bit agonizing sitting at my convener page looking at the list we've accepted and waiting to see others. Let me know if you are attending and want to talk #microplastics, #ecosystemmodeling, or #oysters.

Join us in congratulating Kim de Mutsert for winning the 2025 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice Champion Award!🏆 Visit ow.ly/bZrT50WqOhq to learn more about the 2025 Achievement Award recipients.

UC Irvine keeps expanding its focus on microbial ecology and microbiome science - an exciting place to work for any early-career people on the hunt for a job!

This is a tribute to Peter Benchley, author of 'Jaws', who dedicated his life to reversing the unexpected negative impact his book had on the image of sharks.

We kill millions of sharks annually and demonize them in our media, who is the real monster? 💀

A reminder that we as scientists have a duty to share our knowledge while respecting the knowledge of others. Sharing is not about dumbing down; it's about reframing our thoughts using common language and even analogies. We are great at learning new things. Let's get better at sharing our findings.

Can't wait to see some of you at SOTC 2025 in New Orleans and to hear about past, current, and proposed research, conservation, cultural, and legal (yes legal) work occurring along the Gulf coast. Not presenting, but happy to connect and talk about our MissDelta work.

Sometimes I'm asked why I write blog posts aaronridall.weebly.com if my readership is not enormous. I think that scientists are quite bad at communicating with their audiences so I practice by writing weekly blogs about my research, about my week at the lab, or about current science events. #scicom

Only a few more days to submit your abstract for conference.cerf.science. Don't miss your chance to share your awesome research and connect with coastal and estuarine scientists. CERF2025 is in November, so great chance to make connections for early-career scientists. #EstuarineScience #CERF2025

📢 CERF 2025 is now accepting abstracts for oral and poster presentations! Don’t miss this chance to share your research and insights at the 28th Biennial Conference! Learn more at 🔗conference.cerf.science #CERF2025 #EstuarineScience #CallForAbstracts

Had another great skypeascientist session with high school seniors. Did you know that we will talk with your class about science AND our career paths to better representation in the sciences? Support @skypeascientist.bsky.social by going to givebutter.com/SupportSAS25 and spreading good vibes.

My last PhD chapter is out!

Combined GHG fluxes reveal a net carbon sink across a glacier-ocean continuum — glacier exports CH₄ to coastal waters, but strong CO₂ uptake outweighs GHG emissions. 🌊❄️

Paper out @agu.org!

Overall, global fjords are minor sources of #N2O to the atmosphere

❗ BUT fjords with #aquaculture and #anoxia host relatively high nitrous oxide #emissions

🤝Great collaboration with @barefootlab.bsky.social @awahlin.bsky.social

Listening to @ologies.bsky.social makes drives so much better and introduces me to other ologists that are fighting a good fight. Thanks for connecting me to @skypeascientist.bsky.social and I love the representation we get on the pod from all sorts of ologies. #pollutionecology + more

Had a great time Friday talking to students as part of @skypeascientist.bsky.social. I will continue to support scicomm for as long as I'm a professional and happily support @sarahmackattack.bsky.social and the skypeascientist team. It takes only 30 minutes to show you care about science education.

Can't wait to give my first #skypeascientist talk this upcoming week, focusing on the #GreatLakes and #invasivespecies. Big thanks to @sarahmackattack.bsky.social for all their work with this project and I highly encourage early career scientists to sign up. #postdoc #marineecologist #scicomm

I unashamedly enjoy looking at expensive houses on [insert house search website here] and critiquing the odd things in houses. I know I don't have enough money to buy a house, but I do like imagining me in that overly decorated home for sale.
