Check out PhD student, Sarah Nancollas’s, work on the role of stochasticity of rocky intertidal environments in preparing mussels to be resistant to warming. Environmental complexity matters in providing realistic projections of stress tolerance.

Mussels that experienced unpredictable temperatures are better prepared than mussels warmed to the same dependable temperature, prioritising energy stores to survive when the tide is out; and their hearts are more resilient.

“Two stark findings command attention. Some changes underway in the ocean and the Arctic are potentially irreversible on human time scales. And the pathway for limiting warming to 1.5°C is narrowing rapidly. These results underscore the urgency of vastly enhancing global ambitions to tackle this threat. Every bit of avoided warming matters.” Lubchenco & Kerry 2021.

Hollis Jones is hanging out with the amazing team at Hog Island this summer. A great place to start her PhD research.

Nothing like sampling a little fresh Gracilaria (seaweed) while working out on the oyster leases.

p.s. this is Hollis, our summer intern! She's a biologist and Ph.D. student at ! She'll be working with us this summer, learning the ropes and what goes into a sustainable seafood company like Hog Island! //

Congratulations Fred on being recognized!

The 10 winners — selected by a committee composed of aquarium staff and members of the community — will receive $10,000 each.

Our lab group is part of a large collaborative effort to understand the cause and effects of low egg thiamine levels on endangered winter run Chinook salmon. A great piece on some of these efforts featuring our NOAA and USGS colleagues.

Salmon fry in California are suffering from an apparent vitamin deficiency that is threatening fish and other wildlife worldwide. But what is the cause?

The power of our collective voices matters. Glad this piece of terrible science is getting the attention it deserves. Too bad it was published in the first place but hopefully Nature Communications makes the right decision to pull this paper.

Nature Communications paper claims female mentors are bad for early-career female scientists

We are continuing our collaborative research into the physiological and behavioral effects of thiamine deficiency on early development of salmonids. Here are some recently hatched spring run chinook salmon, which is a threatened run in California. It will still be a little over month before we start to see the spiral swimming behavior and mortality indicative of thiamine deficiency. Our research is looking into the benefits of reducing the negative effects of thiamine deficiency by injecting moms with thiamine prior to spawning in the hatcheries. Photo: Sarah Baird
