A marine ecologist passionate about using good science to find real solutions.
Work at The Swire Institute of Marine Science, The University of Hong Kong.
A research conducted by Dr Celia SCHUNTER from @HKUSBS and @SWIMSHKU shows that fish species which have evolved more rapidly in the past are equipped with better means to cope with increased ocean acidification across the globe: bit.ly/3nHgMVZ
New study finds that when women participate in decision-making, they help make small-scale fisheries more equitable and sustainable . ow.ly/zMtM30smaE8
2-w expedition at the natural lab in Bouraké has finished. Species adaptation to extreme conditions have no more secret from now! Great time with the @icona_research team @ravasi_lab@JDReimer@bp_harvey@AgoRemix and their students. Hope to see you again asap with @UMREntropie
Really excited to be running these sessions again! The students are learning really fast & seem to be enjoying it! Here's to a productive round 🌻 #outreach
We are happy to once again welcome students from PLKLFC to take part in the ECF oyster reef biodiversity project. The students are joining us for weekly workshops, learning how to sort & ID different species we find on the reefs! @SWIMSHKU@HKUSBS@hku_science#outreach
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
with @ljfalkenberg in @STOTEN_journal
Microplastics, both non-biodegradable and biodegradable, do not affect whole organism function of a marine mussel.

If you are going to the oceans in a high CO2 world and want to learn more about multidriver experimentation, please attend this workshop. I cannot attend, but colleagues Christina McGraw, Sam DuPont, and my postdoc Erik Krieger will all be there to discuss solutions
Ocean acidification is one of many stressors acting on marine organisms at the same time. Learn about “Designing multiple driver experiments” in an ocean acidification context in this @Highco2L
workshop hosted and sponsored by @SCOR_Int

Paper accepted with revisions, but “native language revisions needed” - in a review full of language issues … paper written by 4 native speakers, just the first author has an African affiliation…
Get a grip lads, and write a proper review

HKU marine scientists join hands with local oyster industry to set up the first oyster hatchery in Hong Kong, cultivating native seeds to sustain oyster aquaculture indiaeducationdiary.in/hku-m…
Super excited to finally see my first-ever publication making it onto the web. Thanks to the super amazing SV-ever @JDGaitanEspitia and the great @ZhenzhenLi14 for their guidance and support throughout the process. Do check out our review about:frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Sunscreen isn't banned in Australia because there is no evidence (outside of a test-tube) that it causes coral bleaching.
BTW - Australia and its coral reefs are already experiencing huge impacts from anthropogenic heating.
“But it’s distracting from climate change!”
I see US & Australian academics downplaying benzophenone toxicity, while it’s taken more seriously in Central America & SE Asia. In other words, countries most directly impacted by climate change are the ones regulating sunscreen.
🏆Congratulations!🤩HKU ranks #21 in the Quacquarelli Symonds(QS) World University Rankings 2023, which makes it #1 in Hong Kong and #5 in the Asia! ✨

🧵 Special week for us with the start of oyster reef restoration at the beautiful Wagonga Inlet.This project is the first #LivingShorelines project that will restore a degraded seawall into a saltmarsh + intertidal and subtidal oyster reef in a multi-habitat #seascaperestoration
