So excited to be presenting with #seagrant at #nmea2023 !

The twin and I did a thing…we presented together for the very first time in our teaching career: Planning and preparing for programs and concerts! 🎶 #nmea2023

For this #phycologyfriday I’m re-sharing my image of the diversity of the #GreatSouthernReef and keen to hear about any spots around Victoria, CA and Bellingham, USA that I can potentially visit to get my seaweed fix during #IPMEN2023 and #NMEA2023 over the next few weeks.

DIY block printing was definitely a highlight of #NMEA2023 . 😍 My bull kelp needs work but was such a fun and immersive session!

Had such a blast making block prints at #NMEA2023 that I bought supplies to make more while watching Greta Gerwig interviews #perfectevening #kidfree

#NMEA2023 Strait to Sound: Gathering at the Salish Sea starts now after a welcome presentation by Lummi Nation introduced by Mira Lutz: “Let us do more than acknowledge whose land we are on but learn from the original people wherever we reside and heal shared waters together”

And now it starts!!! So excited to see old friends and make new ones at #NMEA2023 . #OceanLiteracy

It was a great week of conference activities at NMEA. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share a session and to have a composition premiered. Plenty of laughs too. #nmea2023 #choir #acda #Creighton
