Angry seas in the #oceanstate today

It's rare to find me speechless but this morning I found out that my horror novella was accepted by an independent niche publisher. The story is called The Harvest, and is set in the Adirondacks. It's largely folk horror with a sprinkle of Lovecraftian imagery. #horror #lovecraft #firststory

Last week I helped lead an informative workshop on mud-blister disease and how it's affecting oysters on Cape Cape cod. Meeting with farmers and growers puts my research into a translational perspective, something that I have been focusing on much more recently. #polychaetes #aquaculture #newengland

Blustery day in Cape Cod, sampling Polydora infested oysters.

My honors student and I are developing a mobile app to help Cape Cod oyster farmers estimate the level of Polydora worm infestation in their crops throughout the growing season based on water quality inputs. Our main issue is that we more data to train our model! #polychaetes #shellfish #diseases
