Really happy to be attending #WIOMSA2025. Great talks, awesome networking and new collaborations in the making. And of course, the beautiful Indian Ocean in the background. 🧪🧬🐟🐠🦈🐡

Attending @wiomsa.bsky.social in Mombasa! What a fantastic venue and symposium so far! #WIOMSA2025

Well, it’s a distressing moment. Someone wanted to sleep and this monster kept flapping around 😂 Dora the terrible would have made no noise and ate it. Even if it’s 4 am.

#caturday Mimi doesn’t care for changing the linen

Dora the explorer also has FIV. We adopted her 4 years ago without knowing her status. After a few scares, we got her on the mend and she’s now a happy cuddly bundle of joy (even if she doesn’t look like it 😂)

Another fantastic (but too short) trip to Swakopmund, Namibia, to discuss population genomic results in the context of fisheries management. With the added bonuses of catching up with old friends too! 🧪 🦑 🐟🐟

Con-cat-ulations! 🐈 We adopted 2 old ladies from our local shelter 3 years ago. It was the best decision we ever made (despite the vet costs). Once she’s used to you, she’ll follow you *everywhere*

I’m really late to the party, but I’m Romina and I’m a marine biologist / molecular ecologist working in Southern Africa.
