Hey Bluesky!
My name is Jordan Zulli, and I am a graduate student in the Marine Science program at Nova Southeastern University. I am in the Fisheries and Avian Ecology Lab studying the age/growth/reproduction of two understudied stingray species in the Indian River Lagoon, FL. Happy to be here! 🦈🌊

Tortuga through the years! 🌊🌴☀️
Did you know the lab has hosted a booth at Rock The Ocean’s Tortuga Music Festival for multiple years in a row? We are so honored to have been invited back for another year - and it’s just 10 days away!

Four-leaf clover or parasite? 🤔
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the fish and bird lab! Pictured is a tapeworm called Rhinebothrium that was found in a stingray by MSMS student Sarah Sargent who is studying the parasite communities of two stingray species! 🍀

Today marks 10 years of celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day that highlights the vitals roles that women play in STEM fields. We take this opportunity to thank the women that have contributed to the advancement of marine science and paved the way for future generations.

Yesterday our lab PI got a call from Hollywood about a large great hammerhead (GHH) shark on the beach... and do we want it for the lab? Not the first time we've gotten calls like this! Here is a short thread about what fish biologists can do with even a dead animal. (Warning: graphic images) 1/11

Sarah’s research focuses on the parasite communities within the stingray genus Hypanus.
Special thanks to advisors Dr. Kerstetter and Dr. Blanar, and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for their collaboration and assistance!

On a separate note, today is Penguin Awareness Day. I had the privilege of working with the critically endangered African penguin for 2+ years. Unfortunately, we’ve already lost over 97% of the population due to habitat loss, lack of food availability, climate change, etc. They deserve protection!

Today, we could have inaugurated the first black female president into office on MLK Day. Instead, we inaugurated the oligarchy. It’s an absolute slap in the face to everyone who has fought for democracy.
Take time to reflect and grieve, but then we have work to do.
