- Reposted by Ariel Greiner (she/her)How do you know whether or not your conservation monitoring program is helping you to deliver outcomes? We have made a checklist of 15 distinct reasons - some more directly connected to outcomes than others.

- A study I'm proud to have contributed to, led by @katehelmstedt.bsky.social @matthholden.bsky.social @hugepossum.bsky.social! The study pushes for people to explicitly consider for what purpose they are pursuing environmental monitoring, and gives 15 example reasons.

- Connections help stabilise reef health, reducing the risk of collapse 🪸 New research shows that improving conditions on both land and sea may be the best way of protecting these crucial ecosystems. Led by @arielgreiner.bsky.social with @wcs.org and @utoronto.ca 👇 bit.ly/4rMyg2Z
- So excited that this work is finally out in the world! An example of working with practitioners to develop a mathematical model that can provide insight into the usefulness of management methods for coral reef health in the region.

- Thanks to everyone who came to my talk earlier today and who chatted with me after @eeid2025.bsky.social! Had many great conversations 🐄

- Reposted by Ariel Greiner (she/her)🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

- Exciting to finally present the coral reef stepping stones work that I've been doing with @emilysdarling.bsky.social @thewcs.bsky.social and colleagues at #BES2024! Thank you @matthew-j-m-03.bsky.social @mcem-oxford.bsky.social for the 📸.

- New preprint out w @colebrookson.bsky.social where we use a model to explore when coral restoration is a practical method of coral reef mgmt! Spoiler alert - paying attention to human pressure levels is 🔑, if they're too high, restoration attempts are unlikely to promote long-lasting healthy reefs!
