I had a blast presenting our sea #urchin #disease #research today at the #USFCMS #faculty symposium! I even wore a costume, brought a live urchin for show & tell, and made themed snacks! #science
Woman (me) standing in front of a PowerPoint slide on a projector showing healthy versus abnormal urchins. I’m wearing an amazing Diadema setosum beanie (yes, that’s an anal pore on the top of my head). The shadow points out the urchin spines on the beanie

“Urchin” snacks constructed from Dunkin’ chocolate munchkins. On the left plate are “healthy urchins” with licorice spines and candy eyes. On the right plate are dying urchins (munchkins with crossed out eyes, that have lost all their spines)
Seminar snacks - from left to right: 1) healthy urchin munchkins with licorice spines and candy eyes, 2) abnormal urchin munchkins who have lost all their spines and have crossed out eyes, 3) urchin skeletons (glazed munchkins, sitting on a plate of decaying spines, 4) live long-spined sea urchin in a Tupperware, with a sign saying “do not eat”. Box behind the munchkins has the Dunkin’ logo which has been modified to say Urchin’

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

Pretty coral, mostly purple with large green polyps (obtained with proper permits) in an aquarium tank
Diadema setosum, the long-spines sea urchin in a tank with a coral. It’s black with long black spines, but you can see blue spots (iridophores) and an orange anal ring
