Still time to apply for this PhD scholarship. New ocean observations - Nov 2022 - from Rangitāhua to disentangle biophysical processes. Another voyage in June 2023 for successful candidate to gain ocean-going research skills. @AliDrifting @Deni_ocean @KuriNgati @aucklandmuseum
Disentangling physical-biological oceanographic processes in the Rangitāhua/Kermadec region. PhD project working with me, @AliDrifting + @Deni_ocean starting early 2023. Supporting Ngāti Kuri-led research with Auckland Museum @KuriNgati @aucklandmuseum

📰NEWS POST on Genetic EBVs:
Genetic diversity is the foundation of all biodiversity and supports the stability and resilience of species and ecosystems. It is essential for species to adapt to challenges such as climate change.

Kia ora folks, just your semi-regular reminder that we are looking for #Indigenous in #STEM #NativesInSTEM folks to submit to our special issue in Molecular Ecology Resources. And for the first time...I actually remembered to include the hash tags!!! (you can teach on old kurī!)

Thanks @genome_gov for the wonderful thread on our perspective piece for the @EBPgenome special issue.
A new paper published in PNAS asks researchers to rethink the meaning of open data sharing and what genomics researchers need to change to build trust among communities previously harmed by it. pnas.org/content/119/4/e2115…

🚨 So excited to share this with you!!
"Genogeographic clustering": a novel approach to identify common spatial #genetic patterns among a large number of species.

ALT (a) Genogeographic species clustering dendrogram based on the genetic diversity measure H, clustering together those species with similar spatial patterns. Cluster number is marked on each branch. Clusters predominantly joined at the 10% significance level are marked with (*). (b) Scaled-and-centred genogeographic curves within selected clusters. (c) Average colour maps of selected clusters

If you are an NZ early career researcher you might be eligible for this survey by @T_E_A_G_A.
This survey will help build an understanding of any barriers you face and opportunities to further strengthen and support careers in science.
🚨 Have you been precariously employed at a New Zealand university in the last year? 🚨
We want to hear from you!💬
In partnership with @studentsnz and @nzteu we have created a survey about precarious work in academia 👉 bit.ly/PAWSurvey2021

Great collaboration with @LiuVanson and @Fish_Evolution to get 8 @csumbcos undergrads involved in primary research. Each worked up a species for a capstone research class, and we found that Dongsha was a key regional stepping-stone connecting reefs in the South China Sea!
New @PeerJLife study evaluates the role of Dongsha Atoll National Park, established in 2007 to study and conserve this diverse and remote #coral
