How do I become a coral reef ecologist? The 100IC team shares science and stories about careers in #STEM during an amazing Ocean STEM event organized by the team at @Birch_Aquarium. Over 200 students attended to mingle with Scripps scientists and learn about paths to science
We love our volunteer team! Not everyone is pictured here, but we can’t thank this hard-working group of budding coral experts enough. As the lab family continues to grow, so does the data... @Scripps_Ocean
The 100IC team had the pleasure of meeting the amazing crew of the Hikianalia during their last stop in CA. Keep up the great work and sharing your wonderful stories! We'll see you out there ;) @Scripps_Ocean
Two more days of events with Hikianalia and the crew!
November 3 & 4, 10a-4p at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. It's free and family friendly get your tickets at the link in our bio. ift.tt/2CWPtkm
@BBCEarth did a great job highlighting the technology and partnerships at the core of the #100IslandChallenge. Check it out!
Could virtual diving save our planet's coral reefs?
#OurBluePlanet w/ @oceanx @100islchallenge + @scripps_ocean
Congratulations to the Smith-Sandin undergraduates! Six of our students participated in the Scripps Undergraduate Research Symposium, sharing their projects with the @scripps_ocean community. A big congrats to Kyle and Karina for winning best poster!!

#100IslandChallenge #FishyFriday ! Check out a pair of masked bannerfish (Heniochus monoceros) spotted on our most recent expedition to #Palau. These fish, like most other butterflyfish, can be found in pairs or small groups in coral reef habitats.
The #100islandchallenge works with many partners, including the @BirchAquarium at @UCSanDiego, to collect data and most recently 360 video. Stay tuned for more! #thenatureconservancy #KoreroOTeOrau #CRIOBE #WaittInstitute
A detailed look at the work and daily life at sea for the #100IslandChallenge team. @ptullis @bioGraphic @Scripps_Ocean nitter.gq/StephStoneSF/status/99…
Let's hold off on that obituary. Some coral reefs are thriving, and the @100islchallenge team thinks those reefs have something to teach us. Words by @ptullis, 📸 by Brian Zgliczynski for @bioGraphic goo.gl/wFkHHN

Photogrammetry used in the 100IC extends beyond making 3D models of reefs. Imagery we collected of the sea turtle shell was used to create a 3D printed prosthetic! @Birch_Aquarium @Scripps_Ocean nitter.gq/birch_aquarium/status/…
Happy #worldturtleday! We are celebrating with @BBCEarth, who created a fun video about our Loggerhead Sea Turtle's 3D printed brace! Check it out at: bit.ly/BBCEarthSeaTurtle
Collaborations are a huge part of the #100IslandChallenge, so we are happy to share our methods colleagues at the #NewEnglandAquarium and @Phoenix_Islands nitter.gq/randirotjan/status/989…
Thanks @anarchyecology for helping us to standardize our techniques with the rest of the @100islchallenge - major progress already!
Calling students grades 6-12! Come speak with members of the 100IC team to learn about their career path in science. #sciencecommunication #scicomm #100IslandChallenge nitter.gq/scripps_ocean/status/9…
Meet scientists and professionals from Scripps Oceanography, @UCSanDiego, and @Birch_Aquarium at Exploring Ocean STEM Careers Night this Thursday! For students grades 6-12. go.ucsd.edu/2HnSaPa

#100IC at #SXSW "Saving Coral Reefs One Pixel at a Time" with @nytimes JoAnna Klein, @ChasingCoral Zack Rago, and #100IslChallenge Jen Smith. Coverage in @thedailytexan dailytexanonline.com/2018/03… … @nonojojo @coral_buff @Scripps_Ocean #CoralTech
Straight from Dr. Stuart Sandin himself: Watching corals grow is perhaps more boring than watching grass grow...unless you can speed up time!!! Check out this 4-year annual time series from #Curaçao. Grow corals grow! #CoralTech #CARMABI #100IC @CoralSci @Scripps_Ocean
Stuart was just interviewed by @sparkcbc, talking about our project and telling a positive story about #coralreefs !!!
