Hi, I’m Danielle, and I’m a prospective grad student looking for PhD opportunities in biological oceanography. I’m particularly interested in pinnipeds; anthropogenic conflicts, shifting habitat usage, and ecophysiology. I also volunteer at Mystic’s ARC. I also love riding, hiking, and illustration

We had such an interesting training with AMSEAS this past week! It was illuminating seeing just how much coordination and decision making goes into every response

Someone isn’t sure what to think about his pre-release jewelry and satellite tag. He was a pretty good sport about the process though!

The Senate just posted the report language of its FY26 science appropriations bill. This text lays out what they want done and carries the force of law if it is included in the final spending bill.
It's a line-by-line refutation of Trump's proposed budget for NASA and NOAA.

We had the wildest seal necropsy the other day! This seriously unlucky dude had us calling him Steve Irwin, which should give you a clue as to what we found and where

I’m far from an artist but I tried to replicate a sign that hung in my parents’ house for most of my childhood.
Stay safe out there today friends!

I want to remind everyone that without Elon Musk, we wouldn't be in this situation where our academic institutions, science enterprise, and democracy are being dismantled, and millions of additional people around the world are going to die. We want both of them to lose horribly in this fight.

At the next public release I need to work on my facial expressions. I look so intense, when really I was just trying to figure out where we were going with the very heavy seal.
Also, a bonus picture of my favorite seal trying to figure out what was happening

I somehow managed to never be looking at the camera. It was such a great day releasing six grey seals! I also loved answering questions about the seals, especially from the kids! My favorite seal, Tillie, was part of the release (pictured). All of these seals were entangled in marine debris

Bye friends! Make good choices please. 🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭🦭
We released six of our rehab grey seals today, including my favorite girl! I’m so thrilled and thankful to have a small part in getting these seals well and back to the ocean

The oceanographer starter pack is hard to pin down — you might be decoding sediment cores, collecting samples at sea, or tracking plankton blooms from a satellite feed! 🧪 🌊 🌎 🐟
🔆⬇️ From ship to lab to laptop, it’s all oceanography - what would you add to this starter pack?!
