Excited to share this documentary created by #USC Annenberg student Sethan Perez which features work from the #CEELab - a great example of how students are using their skills to help communicate science! 🧪 www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2026/04/13/c...

Resurrecting thread with new wrinkle - what to do when you suspect reviewers used AI to review your MS, you can't prove so just push back on (generic, oddly phrased) critique with rebuttal and the AE rejects appeal with text that is a generic, oddly phrased version of the original decision 😵💫 🧪
Excited to see this out after years of work from many folks in the field and lab. @ben-glass.bsky.social did such a lovely job of doing this work justice! 2023 heatwave was no joke in Bocas.....

ICYMI: New online! Accelerating coral assisted evolution to keep pace with climate change
The list of Ecology/Evolution/Marine Bio Labs recruiting grad students for Fall 2027 is live! PIs enter your position info here: forms.gle/MAGd4ohyPeoY... students (and PIs not recruiting) share the composite list: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely! 🧪
🧪 FIRST STUDY to compare direct air capture of CO2 vs renewables:
“An amount of money spent deploying wind or solar delivers more combined climate and public health benefit than if it is spent on DAC.”
Releasing CO2 into air and then trying to suck it up is dumb.

The case for investing in direct air capture weakens substantially once it is directly compared against solar and wind, according to an analysis published in Communications Sustainability. The paper i...
This work explored the effects of an unprecedented marine heatwave on the reef-building coral Siderastrea siderea across four sites (Cristobal Island, Hospital Point, Punta Donato, and STRI Point) on...
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 30 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00147-zOngoing and projected climate changes are bringing increased marine heatwave frequency and intensity, threatening the health and survival of coral reefs. This Roadmap outlines the potential for assisted evolution methods to increase thermal tolerance in corals and describes ways to accelerate research and development for enhancing coral adaptation rates.
