@TrevToone came up to me and explained his idea, mussels are big news, and I was instantly sold. Trevyns creative genius and hard film making work won us first place in the student category at #SER2023. Endlessly glad I got to do my PhD alongside him and help out with this video!

Great morning collecting our @VIMS_News @WMNews sentinel oysters, for monitoring oyster diseases in Chesapeake Bay. Beginning year 64 of this long running time series on oyster disease ecology
I am excited to share great news! I defended my PhD and was awarded Dean's List @AucklandUni and we have received funding to continue #musselrestoration in the South Island of NZ as my postdoc! Can't thank my great advisors, collaborators, and colleagues enough! @shellfishrestnz
We had the best time at the Havelock mussel festival where we talked about mussel restoration and had people of all ages paint mussel shells with googly eyes! Shells were supplied by @Sanford_Ltd #generationrestoration #musselsarecool @TrevToone @shellfishrestnz

We’re still celebrating Women’s History Month, and history was definitely made when Chef Jasmine Norton opened the doors to @_TheUrbanOyster becoming the first black woman to own and operate an oyster bar in the nation! #celebratewomen #womenshistorymonth
PhD Opportunity. Please RT.
We have two PhD student opportunities available to come work with us at the University of Auckland as part of @shellfishrestnz on mussel restoration in the Top of the South Island of New Zealand! Help us solve bottlenecks and restore ecosystems!

Yesterday I decided to stop editing out all the exclamation marks in my emails. I’ve done this for years to seem “more professional.” But what does that really mean???? Less female? Less young? Less excited? Well I’m young and female and IM EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get used to it.
This month marks three years that our first restored mussel reefs have been on the seabed! They are looking healthy and full of algae, but there appears to be no new mussel recruits yet. #GenerationRestoration
Blown away by the beautiful colors, density and size distribution from this remnant intertidal reef. It is a rarety to see this, so today we will evaluate it to understand more about exsisting intertidal reefs to inform how we should restore them!#generationrestoration @TrevToone
