Hi!! I'm Casandra and I'm a postdoc at UNCC studying cnidarian symbiosis in the upside down jellyfish Cassiopea (I'm also learning Aiptasia as a model system). I also studied Cassiopea for my PhD! Nice to see you all! ❤ #BIMSRollCall #BlackInMarineScience

Realizing that ever since I left academia I don't have weekly crying breakdowns 😅. Don't get me wrong my job now is challenging and I'm still learning the ropes, but I don't be crying like that anymore. Wild 😂

We've seen some big wins at #COP28 – like a fund for loss & damage and pledges from 120+ countries to triple clean energy capacity by 2030. But one of the most important issues – phasing out fossil fuels – remains unresolved. It's time to be bold.

Reefs are vibrant, living structures laid down over time by tiny tentacled animals. But how exactly corals construct the crystals that become the reefs’ craggy rocks has long been a mystery. Now, researchers have finally made a breakthrough. scim.ag/4Lq

‘Why can’t you make a coral out of an anemone?’

By adding genes to a nonmineralizing relative that’s better suited to lab life, team aims to show how corals build reefs
