Our last paper of 2025 and Iām so excited about this one! We show that rocky intertidal foundation species are important to benthic-pelagic coupling by fueling pelagic bacteria production #EcologyLetters. š¦ š onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...
On behalf of the Department of Oceanography at the University of HawaiŹ»i at MÄnoa, we are excited to invite applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Ocean Biogeochemical Modeling at the rank of assistant professor. www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawa... position number 0082726

Have you ever experienced an unprofessional peer review? This feature in @nature.com describes the consequences of bullying reviews with personal examples from Yours Truly. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Thanks for the terrific cover shot!šø
Zimmer also cited a survey by @nsilbiger.bsky.social & Stubler showing that unprofessional reviewer comments can be especially demoralizing for women, nonābinary scientists, & people of color, harming confidence, productivity, & career progress.

This was such a cool project to be a part of! We used ML models to build a high-res (1.4m) land cover map, and combined terrain+weather data w/ algae+water samples from >200 lagoon sites over 4 years to understand connections between land use, precipitation, water quality, and microbial communities.
Okinawa had its hottest September at 1.6C above the average. I filmed this mass coral bleaching last year, but didn't have the heart to share. Total annihilation of the first few meters of depth. This stuff happens before our eyes, and yet people who think it isn't real keep gaining power.

A massive, multi-year scientific expedition led by researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara and collaborating institutions, including the University of Hawai'i (UH) at MÄnoa, determined that land use on tropical islands can shape water quality in lagoons and that rainfall can be an important mediator for connections between land and lagoon waters.
