Hoping to see some new #science folks exploring Mastodon so figured it’s time for another #introduction - I’m Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Our lab studies #microbes (bacteria, viruses, protists) in the oceans and other environments and also works on #fish egg identification. I also post about my cute dog and cat a lot! #USFCMS #ocean #marine #oceanography #microbiology #virology #research #seagrass #urchin #academia

Attention #Florida - especially folks in the #TampaBay region! The #StPeteScienceFest is on Saturday Feb 18. Several #USFCMS labs will be there with cool activities for the whole #family to enjoy. Our lab is preparing our #seagrass #foodweb maze and activity and we can’t wait to share! #science #outreach

Here goes nothing - let's see if this old dog can learn new tricks! I'm Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida. Here's my happy lab enjoying the Florida sunshine - we love #marine #science , #virology, #genomics, #oceanography #phage #seagrass #fish
