This new sea slug species must be a close relative of our common Melibe leonina in the salish sea nytimes.com/2024/11/12/sci…

MBARI researchers have discovered a remarkable new species of sea slug in the deep sea. Nicknamed the "mystery mollusc," the nudibranch Bathydevius caudactylus swims through the midnight zone and lights up with brilliant bioluminescence. Learn more: mbari.org/news/mbari-res…


Sting Theory and drugs form nature: #Venoms from invertebrates like cone snails, corals, sea anemones, ants, spiders and scorpions have developed into cancer and other drugs. #Ziconotide is an analgesic developed from #conesnails. nytimes.com/2024/11/13/mag…

Forests of the Pacific Coast are the most carbon dense in the country, according to a 2024 scientific journal, and among the most carbon dense on Earth. WA’s older forests capture carbon better than nearly any other says @LyndaMapes seattletimes.com/seattle-news/c… via @seattletimes

New @coraldoctors paper out! @Emily_VanBuren conducted an elegant study of genes involved in melanin synthesis in corals. We found genes for 18 melanin synthesis proteins that had functionally conserved domains to the human genes. academic.oup.com/icb/advance-ar…

SeaGrass Superpowers Discovered in Puget Sound. Eelgrass is a natural bio-filter for human and animal pathogens as shown by reduced bacteria levels in eelgrass mussels. Kudos @LyndaVMapes @seattletimes @waDNR @JoleahLamb seattletimes.com/seattle-news/c…

Powerful #eelgrass is a natural biofilter for human pathogens! 🌊🌱🦠 Mussels in eelgrass had 65% less human pathogenic bacteria vs mussels w/out eelgrass around Seattle, WA 🤯 Kudos, @phoebe_dawkins @JoleahLamb @DrewHarvell @waDNR @naturesustainab! 🙌 …-nature-com.proxy.library.cornell.edu/articles/s4189…

Nature protecting Nature and People: Seagrasses reduce human pathogens by 65% in Puget Sound waters. Kudos @SeaDocSociety for the special #SalishSeaWild episode about our study with @JoleahLamb and @WDFW and @waDNR and team. youtube.com/watch?v=Mt3za0…


Today @JoleahLamb, Phoebe Dawkins led our new study on same theme: Seagrasses filter human pathogens in US waters. 65% reduction of pathogenic bacteria in mussels in #PugetSound seagrass compared to mussels in no seagrass. Kudos #musselwatch and team. rdcu.be/dPLqh

Happy Earth Day! Here’s a look back at Cornell researchers Drew Harvell and Joleah Lamb and their Atkinson-supported research into the links among marine health, seagrass health, and human health. #EarthOptimism2018 youtube.com/watch?v=2k_jGR…

Near-disappearance of vultures in India 2 decades ago led to more than half a million excess human deaths over five years. Livestock carcasses, no longer cleared by vultures, polluted waterways and fed an increase in feral dogs, which can carry rabies.nytimes.com/2024/07/29/cli…


Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution reports 11 billion tons of microorganisms, crustaceans, squid, fish and gelatinous animals that live deep help draw down a third of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity, reducing catastrophic climate change. nytimes.com/2024/07/29/opi…

Looks like @Karly_Cohen and I will run our biological imaging apprenticeship course in the winter. 15 credits for 10 weeks of imaging biology using every technique we have available. SEM, CT, fluoro, histology, photography, and confocal. Wheeeeee!!!

America’s wetlands provide over $7 trillion in economic benefits each year. But, from 2009 to 2019, we lost 670,000 acres of them —roughly the size of Rhode Island. 📢Urge your members of Congress to invest in conserving these critical ecosystems. pew.org/467sChF
