Thrilled to share that the #MarineSymbiomes group joined the #TMHM Symposium! I spoke on seagrass–sponge interactions, and our postdoc Elena Quintanilla presented on seagrass–clam symbioses #ENGAGE_prin. Great science, people, and discussions—thanks to @memartino.bsky.social & Raquel Peixoto!

A new global analysis reveals that if we allow seagrass decline to continue unchecked, as much as 1,154 Tg of Carbon Dioxide could be released back into the atmosphere from meadows at risk, accelerating the climate crisis we are trying to prevent.

Priceless afterwork in Bogliasco, Italy
A coastal scene featuring large, rugged rocks by the sea with tidal pools in the foreground. Two children in warm clothing sit on a rock near the water, looking into a small pool. In the middle ground, a woman and a man stand on the rocks, gazing towards the sea. The background showcases a picturesque seaside village with pastel-colored buildings and a church tower nestled against a hillside. The sky is partly cloudy, casting a soft, diffused light over the scene.
