Our session proposals were accepted for the ICRS conference in New Zealand, July 2026. Abstracts due December 1st!

#88 | Dynamics of transformed reefs.

#127 | Reef carbonate dynamics: from organismal physiology to ecosystem resilience. 

We’ve wrapped up the final dives for the Protect Our Reefs grant in the Florida Keys. The data collected will inform coral restoration strategies under changing environmental conditions.

Collaborating with Dr Lauren Toth's team of the USGS as the highlight of the year as a Fulbright scholar in the Florida Keys, and it's awesome to see the results published!

In July 2024, I officialt began a Smith Conservation Fellow. Still based at NSU, I am partnering with NOAA and a whole team of conservation and academic partners to explore the interface of biogeochemistry with reef restoration. Looking forward to new experiments and collaborations as part of this project!

In June 2025, I made my first expedition to the Great Barrier Reef as a Lizard Island Postdoctoral Fellow and to join the NSF IRES fieldtrip led by Dr Cyronak.

Blog post coming soon!

My second manuscript from the Smithsonian-supported work is published in Journal of Experimental Biology (JEB) 

Earlier this year, The Journal of Experimental Biology invited me to share some of my experiences and insight for up and coming student scientists, for their ECR spotlight series. It was great to reflect upon their questions. Read it here

Read about my project on deoxygenation at the Smithsonian Marine Station in Fort Pierce, which I began while still working on my PhD thesis for the University of Glasgow.
