Short video of a very gravid Northern Star coral (Astrangia poculata) colony spawning in the lab. Look at that thing go!

Students created unique vertical oyster gardens on the RWU waterfront!🦪🌊
Oyster Boys Conservation recently visited the Bristol campus to demo their oyster gardens, capitalizing on the bivalves’ capacity to filter and improve water quality.

Congrats @t_lindsay_sci !! Nice work!
I’m so excited to share my preliminary research on the #temperate coral #Astrangia in this summer’s @ICRSCoralReefs Reef Encounters! Check out pages 61-65!
The undergrad researchers are working round the clock in the lab @myrwu with our @TxStateResearch collaborators on our @NSF BRC-BIO supported research.
Learning so much from @LaurenFuess, refining our methods for exploring cnidarian microbiomes and symbiosis! #Astrangiathings
Fabulous week in RI @myrwu with @LaurenFuess @TxStateResearch and her group. Undergrads from both institutions learning more about local marine ecosystems and #Astrangiathings!

Another Temperate Coral Research Conference @myrwu in the books! Exciting to be watching this field move forward so quickly, and to discuss how we can apply the #astrangiathings we’ve learned to address climate change threats on our temperate and tropical marine ecosystems alike!
It’s a joy to coordinate these with @SeanPGrace and @RandiRotjan - this year we are generating new shared resources/protocols for culturing, husbandry, and public awareness campaigns. This community is as mighty as the #temperatecorals it studies!
Beautiful day at RWU Commencement yesterday.
Thrilled to have celebrated our newest grads @myrwu!!

My senior research students this year are so dear to me - these two are fantastic scientists, thinkers, and humans! So excited to see what they do next!!

Check out our latest pub! Really cool study with potentially major implications for how we should be thinking about coral reef restoration and coral aquaculture endeavors. @AmyApprill @cole_easson @thatsasponge @SpongeSymbiont
🚨New research🚨
A stable isotope study reveals a nutrient recycling pathway in which coral 🪸 holobiont incorporates nutrients from sponge-derived matter. Interspecific differences in this process align with ecophysiological characteristics of the coral
